Hooks & Splinters Songtext
von Otep

You f**king parasite
I′ll beat you til you die
It hides inside me (x3)
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 (x2)
It′s hides inside me (x2)


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 (x2)

Death will have mercy
I won't
Here in the serial killer holy land
It's not over (x2)
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 (x2)
>From slave to master
I′ve become the hydra
More heads and venom
It hides
Inside
Me
Hooks and splinters (x2)
It hurts
To
Exist
