In Cold Blood

From my perch these mountains rise like razors Against the slow weight of the night These little lights burn like lighted fires Along the jagged walls Somewhere out there a fresh face is cutting lines On a heated plate Somewhere out there she just sacrificed her life Something's wrong with me For thinking something's right with you Now my thoughts float like moths Over a fading flame Something's wrong with me For thinking something's right with you Now I'm lost inside the smog Choking on the shame (It tastes like suicide, a sweet death I can't deny) From my perch these broken birds are calling Singing their siren song They mesmerize I forget to fly Somewhere out there I just sacrificed my life Something's wrong with me For thinking something's right with you Now my thoughts float like moths Over a fading flame Something's wrong with me For thinking something's right with you Now I'm lost inside the smog Choking on the shame We roam the night like wild animals We chew into passive mammals In cold blood! In cold blood! My fingertips touch her lips To quiet the sins she commits In cold blood! In cold blood! (It tastes like suicide) Something's wrong with me For thinking something's right with you Now my thoughts float like moths Over a fading flame Something's wrong with me For thinking something's right with you Now I'm lost inside the smog Choking on the shame Something's wrong with me For thinking something's right with you Now my thoughts float like moths Over a fading flame Something's wrong with me For thinking something's right with you Now I'm lost inside the smog Choking on the shame (A sweet death I can't deny) --- In Cold Blood - Otep
