Текст песни Otep Where The River Ends

come with me

i will let you see with my words
i will let you burn & observe

but where i go
you can only follow

so close your eyes
open your mind

.........and see

somewhere
out in the dark

a car pulls up
& parks

& the passenger
shifts nervously in her seat
& butterflies
flutter in her belly

& the driver
shuts off the engines
& moves a little close

she giggles a little
as he unbuttons her blouse

she pushes him away
& he whispers
"aw baby, don't be that way.
i took you out, i treated you right.
now, don't put up a fight.
come on.
I ONLY WANT TO PUT THE TIP IN.
don't fight, don't fight. come on.
this is all your fault you know.
just relax, let me do what
i gotta do & i'll let you go.

don't you love me?
don't you love me?

DON'T YOU LOVE ME?"

Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth
& I must scream

Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth....

and somewhere
in a normal neighborhood
in a normal house

a normal family
is falling apart

and down the hall
the little ones hide

frozen as fossils
as their mother cries

listening
now that the others
have gone silent

the walls blister
as sister rises in defiance

here
in the depths of the labyrinth
she will make her mark

she travels the cavern
searching for the Minotaur

and she finds him
asleep in the heat
of his triumphs

a sparkle of flame
flickers in her eye

she nudges him softly
and says,
"Daddy, wanna give me a try?"

and he rumbles a roar,
"you must lick honey
from a thorn
if you are to survive
this night"

and she says,
"noooo, i'd rather pick a fight."

and he reaches out
and she's on attack
and he's face down
and she straddles his back
and as the moonlight fades from
his eyes
she sighs,
"come on, what's the matter?

don't you love me?
don't you love me?

DON'T YOU LOVE ME?"

Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth
& I must scream

Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth
& I MUST SCREAM!

what we are
you too will become

liberated children
of a blood-hungry god

sedition!

they used to hang
women like me,
strange fruit on
the poplar tree!

they used to own women like me
necessary accessories!

they used to burn women
like me,
to quell the fires of liberty

in the blessed cresent,

THEY STILL STONE
WOMEN LIKE ME!

and one day you will say
just like look at her now!

...and as everything
fades to black
...and as the jackals
laugh at the aftermath

(i'm not yours anymore)
