Otep – Shattered Pieces lyrics

Album: House Of Secrets

(And this is how the world died) [x2]
I can hear you judging me
(I'll hear your confession)
I found the best piece of me
(Kneel down)
Alone
Shivering in the dark
(Place your face between my thighs)
Three centimeters tall
(And talk to god)
Eating it's heart
But you will not feast on me today
(This is how the world died)
Who will slay this thing
(I forgive you)
Who will play the butcher and
End my suffering
(I forgive you)
I fucked the minds of the masses with the fingers of liberty
This is not a threat
This is not
A threat
I'm not perfect
I'm not a beauty queen I'm just me
I'm just me
We are all
Prisoners here
All shapes and sizes
(All the shapes and sizes)
I've screamed for all the women I've never been but hoped I would be
(I'm proud of who I am)
Forever
Chasing the sun
(I'm proud of me)
She bites her trembling mind
It began as all tragedies do
(Forgive me) [x2]
With pain and deception
If you'll be the paper I'll be the pen
This is it
I've tasted hell
And it tastes just like you

My final plea:
No one is coming to save me
No one is going to change things
The answers will not drop from the sky
I will not one day wake with a different disguise
(No)
The only solution
Is revolution
ART IS WAR!!
FIGHT!! [x2]
The odds were always against me
Lose weight,
Clearly think,
I exist,
I am broken.
(I am broken)
If god is my father
Then I am an orphan
(I am broken)
I am not a mistake [x2]
My ancestry is a ghost story
(I'm a prophecy)
My love life is a crime scene
(I'm an omen)
My self-esteem is a string of unsolved murders
The radio is brainwashing me filling my head with these
Self conspiracies
(I am an emotional nightmare)
I can't hide the pain inside
(Builder of my own mythology)
Just tell me
You're listening
