Shattered Pieces

And this is how the world died And this is how the world died ...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] 3 CENTIMETERS TALL [& 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 & 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. [no one escapes this life alive] WE ARE ALL, PRISONERS HERE. [all shapes & sizes] ... I scream for all the women I've never been but I 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, she's the one, forgive me] WITH PAIN & DECEPTION. ... if you'll be the paper, I'll be the pen. AND THIS IS IT .. [i've tasted hell, & 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 ONEDAY WAKE WITH A DIFFERENT DISGUISE. THE ONLY SOLUTION ... IS REVOLUTION. [art is war ... fight, fight] [[pain makes me safe]] .. the odds were always against me. [lose weight/clearly think] I EXIST. I AM BROKEN. I EXIST. I AM BROKEN. .. if god is my father then I am an orphan. I AM BROKEN. I'M NOT A MISTAKE [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. --- Shattered Pieces - Otep
