"Hooks & Splinters" lyrics - OTEP

You fucking parasite!
I'll beat you till you die!

It hides inside me,
It hides inside me!

Sic semper tyrannus!

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, & scratched

Everything is 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.
(I will sit, I will wait, I will make no mistake,
I will sit, I will wait, for as long as it takes)

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 hyrda!
More heads and venom!

It hides!
Inside!
ME!

Hooks and splinters!
Hooks and splinters!

(It hurts to exist)
