My Confession - Otep

Perfectly flawed

I shall

Live by passion

Not by law

And i’m

Insecure …

I need aggression

To

Feed the spiders

Of perception

And i’m

Supposed to be strong

& have

All the answers

Cannibal

In the

New church of cancer

But i’m

Nothing special

I’m not unique

I have

Many secrets

Eat the weak

And i’m

At an end

I’m at an end …

And there’s …

NO WAY OUT!

I need to find my sanctuary

… someplace safe

Gotta get this outta me

… this is my escape

II

And i

Think about it

All the time

I’m

Volatile

Afraid to cry

But i’m

Still not comfortable

In my skin

And the

Anesthetics slowly

Wearing thin

Need to talk to

Someone new

I need a different

Latitude

& i’m

In this void

All alone!

Feeling needy

… hungry to grow

But i’m

Suffocating

-- can’t come down

And … no …

THERE’S NO WAY OUT!!!

I need to find my sanctuary

… someplace safe

Gotta get this outta me!

… THIS IS MY ESCAPE!!!

--- all i see is sadness

All i see is sadness …

What’s left?

-- this will teach them

This will teach them

…you've got to…

Push

Push

PUSH…

YOUR WAY OUT!!!

FOLLOW ME!

FOLLOW ME!

THIS IS YOUR WAY OUT!

…you are not alone

— this is where i hide my power

— this is where i become free

— this is where i take control

— and slowly choke your fantasies

— i want to know my day is coming

— see my enemies be punished

— shed my skin again

— this will be my best revenge!

SHED MY SKIN AGAIN

THIS WILL BE MY BEST REVENGE!
