Suicide Trees

Greg Wells / Otep Shamaya

I spent my whole life
In love with despair

Kept my lungs full
With the breath of their
Mute atmosphere

I became what I hate

And thus shall I remain
To give birth to a mighty assassin
Armed with a weapon of words

To defy the lies
To never compromise

No
Today, my name is pain

I stood
Beyond the world

Whispering secret syllables
In the eyeless dark

Dancing wildly
Round and round on the rotting ground

Surrounded by the dead dusts of Hell

This is how I delete myself
And this is how I corrupt everyone else

Obey
Obey
Betray
Betray

You are not unique
You do not need to think
Take it, take it!

I will
I will, I will

You succumb, so nicely

(Like an insect staring back, like a dying dove)
My love, (no), my love

[Song]

So here we are again
The sheets are stained & bloodied
The animals scratch at my skin

Here we are again
My face is scraped & bloodied
I've nothing left to give

- I wasn't there
- I'm not involved
- I'm innocent
- It's not my fault

- I wasn't there
- I'm not involved
- I'm innocent
- It's not my fault

Here in the suicide trees
Here in the suicide trees

(No. Bloody, bloody, bloody, murder!)
Among the excrement of my sins!
It's not happening, it can't be happening, it's not happening

So here we are again
In secret ceremonies
Changing shape, amen

Here we are again
Pretending not to notice
The illness sneaking in

- I wasn't there
- I'm not involved
- I'm innocent
- It's not my fault

- I wasn't there
- I'm not involved
- I'm innocent
- It's not my fault

Here in the suicide trees
Here in the suicide trees

Toil & labor
Hate your neighbor
Faith in favor
Obey!

Toil & labor
Hate your neighbor
Faith in favor
Obey!

Obey
Obey

Here, I do as I please!
Here in the suicide trees!

Here, I do as I please!
Here in the suicide trees!

Obey!

Hate your neighbors!
Hate your neighbors!

(The animals scratch at my skin)
It's not happening, it's not happening
