Otep - Nein lyrics

rate me

My pain, my pride, these scars are mine [x3]

I will tell you a story

That's never been told

I wll tell you a secret

Five lifetimes old

My life has been a prison

A labyrinth built beneath the mountain of tragedy

I'm a stain on the cloth

I'm just an after-thought

But I

Would die

For this

But through the veins of decay

I'll remain to betray

To live like Caesar

To die like Jesus

To build my own religion

No gods, no laws

To celebrate pain

Forsaken and ashamed

To watch them all

Crawl beneath us

On this bed of nails and regret

Dying of fevers, betrayal, and sweat

I cry

My organs are rotting

My enemies are plotting

I am made of pages

Paragraphs and inspirations

Paper girl, burn the world

I pass the flame to you

Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him [x4]

Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them

My pain, my pride, these scars are mine [x2]

My pain

My misery has been formulated into an equation of nein

My sanity wrote a suicide note but

One of us is illiterate

And the other is blind

My first act of treason was picking up a pen

My

First act of love was

Finding myself again

The hardest thing to do

Was standing up to you

Now I'm off my knees

Now you're begging me please

I'm the wound and the weapon

The fracture and the

Fist

My organs are rotting

My enemies are plotting

I am made of pages

Paragraphs and inspirations

Paper girl, burn the world

I pass the flame to you

Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him [x4]

Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them

That stabbing in your heart

That black hole in your soul

Slowly ripping you apart

That's me [x2]

So let it be written

So let it be done

The brighter they shine

The darker

We

Become

Vae victus, abomination [x3]
