Hooks & Splinters Lyrics - Singles - Otep

You fucking parasite 

I'll beat you till you die 

It hides inside me 

It hides inside me 

It hides inside me 

Sic semper tyrannous 

Everyday you decay 

In chains, dismayed 

Broken soul, splintered bones 

Ghost children in their graves 

Sold as slaves, unstable 

Greedy flames 

Life is a sacrifice a 7 inch slice 

The still-born waste of a suicide Christ 

I'm learning to like the pain 

I hope you die, we broken people 

I hope you die, we broken people 

It hides inside me 

It hides inside me 

Everything is dead 

Every day is black 

Word becomes flesh 

Bloodied, burned, and scratched 

Everything dead 

Every day is black 

The face I wore was yours 

As I launched this self-attack 

Hypocrite, heretic, blasphemer 

In pain, insane 

A bullet in the head, a knife wound in the 

I cried, as my innocence died 

I cried, as my innocence died 

Death will have mercy, I won't 

Here in the serial killer holy land 

It's not over, it's not over 

We've only just begun 

Like a fetus on the floor 

Like an addict wanting more 

Like a sex slave 

Crying and sore 

I want to smell the violence 

I need to see you bleed 

Take me inside your soul 

And make it weep for me 

I need to believe 

I will sit, I will wait, I will make, no mistake 

I will sit, I will wait, I will make, no mistake 

From slave to master 

I've become the hydra 

More heads and venom 

It hides inside me 

Hooks and splinters 

Hooks and splinters 

It hurts to exist
