Otep - Crooked Spoons Lyrics






Take me down
Where the baptized drown
So they say!

(Surface dweller, shallow swimmer)

Let's lick my wounds

So they say
I killed a man
So they say
I took his head
So they say
He was a scourge
And all the world are his children

The best thing they ever did
in this life was let me live

Digging swiftly
Out of hell
Madness helps me save myself

Crooked spoons on every wall
Genocide lines the hall
Ten gauge needles and a prayer
Smearing sin everywhere

[Chorus:]
What
Else could you need?
You've taken everything
What
Else could you need?
You've taken everything

(Surface dweller, shallow swimmer)

Let's lick my wounds

We feed until we're engorged

Let them sleep

I need some more
Nooses made from human hair
Bodies falling from thin air

We speak and preach forbidden truth
This is it
We're through with you
I'm choosing to lose my mind

Rape the blade and call it wine

Crooked spoons on every wall
Genocide lines the hall
Ten gauge needles and a prayer
Smearing sin everywhere

[Chorus]

(Surface dweller, shallow swimmer)

Take me where the baptized drown!

I sleep too deep
For you to wake me
I sleep too deep
For you to wake me
I sleep too deep
For you'll never wake me

My lips are kissed with
Tiny stitches

[Chorus]

The venom that slips from your lips
The tiny lies shining in your eyes
Pain in my veins, shallow
Hollow, incarcerated soul
I sleep too deep
You to wake me up

  3. G.... K....

  4. T.... D....

    "Why is metal music so violent and dark" because life is violent and dark, welcome to reality.

  5. T.... C....

    I saw otep live when I was 15 at a ragtag shady bar

  6. z.... R....

    FUCK. HELL. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

  7. L.... S....

  8. G.... ....

    This song should've been more well known. This songs awesome.

  9. L.... ....

    i have been crushing for years on her and now she is gay well has been lol its like no chance to NO CHANCE all well. she is a boss.

    P.... ....

    +LAMSTEVENSON N I think she has been gay for a long time now. =P

    P.... ....

    +Angélique Marquis I don't think she decided to be gay... She was always gay, that's like saying a gay guy or a gay girl can become straight just because they choose to be. You are born straight or you're born gay, no way around it. period.

    P.... ....

    I didn't imply that one "becomes" gay either. My comment was being sarcastic, hence the :P Maybe the chosen wording wasn't the best. But then again English isn't my first language.

    I'm all up in the LGBT universe Sir, I'd be a fool to think such an absurdity that we somehow become gay.

    Thanks for being an advocate :)

    Cheers!

    P.... ....

    +Adam Wolkerstorfer i think it was cause she was disgusted of guys because of her past when her father raped her...
