Otep › Lyrics › Communion

I sold my soul so long ago and now I’m alone here
In the palace of madness and sadness and bone
And she said to the ghosts in her head
I will find the edge, I will force my fingers in

I will sip from the slit
I will rip you to shreds
I will rip you to shreds

Rape the nun, kill the saints, wear their skin
There is no, there is no way to escape

I know the road of truth is lined
With crucified criminals and suicides
So maybe I’ll just cut my throat
Maybe I’ll make you smile while I choke
Hybrid creature of decay
There is no possible way to escape

Rape the nun, kill the saints, wear their skin
There is no way to escape

Yesterday upon the stair I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today, I wish that man would go away
I wish that man would go away, I wish that man would go away
I wish that man would go away, I wish that man go

Shadow man standing in my room
Smearing his conspiracies for me to consume
Shadow man has a plan just wait and see
You’ll all be sorry for f****** with me
Come out and play

Shadow man, shadow man please go away
Shadow man, shadow man please go away
I really don’t feel like playing today

Go away, go away
I’m not ignoring you, I’m just plotting your doom
In a world that’s ready to drown
Don’t look, we have you now

Rape the nun, kill the saints, wear their skin
Tell me there's no way to escape
