Otep - Where The River Ends lyrics

(intro) come with me i will let you see with my words i will let you burn & observe but where i go you can only follow so close your eyes open your mind ......and see (v.1) somewhere out in the dark a car pulls up & parks & the pa**enger shifts nervously in her seat & bu*terflies flutter in her belly & the driver shuts off the engine & moves a little close she giggles a little as he unbu*tons her blouse she pushes him away & he whispers, "aw baby don't be that way. i took you out, i treated you tight. now, don't put up a fight. come on. i only want to put the tip in. don't fight, don't fight, come on. this is all your fault you know. just relax, let me do what i gotta do & i'll let you go. Don't you love me? Don't you love me? Breathe in deep a sea of desperate dreams I have no mouth & I must scream Breathe in deep a sea of desperate dreams I have no mouth..... (v.2) and somewhere in a normal neighborhood in a normal house a normal family is falling apart and down the hall the little ones hide frozen as fossils as their mother cries listening now that the others have gone silent the walls blister as sister rises in defiance here in the depths of the labyrinth she will make her mark she travels the cavern searching for the Minotaur & she finds him asleep in the heat of his triumphs a sparkle of flame flickers in her eye she nudges him softly and says "Daddy, wanna give me a try?" and he rumbles & roar, "You must lick honey from a thorn if you are to survive this night" and she says, " no, i'd rather pick a fight." and he reaches out and she's on the attack and he's face down and she straddles his back and as the moonlight fades from his eyes she sighs, "come on, what's the matter?" don't you love me? don't YOU love me? DON'T YOU LOVE ME? Breathe in deep a sea of desperate dreams I have no mouth & I must scream Breathe in deep a sea of desperate dreams I have no mouth AND I MUST SCREAM! (bridge) what we are you too will become liberated children of a bloody-hungry god sedition! They used to HANG women like me, strange fruit on the poplar tree! They used to OWN women like me, necessary accessories! They used to BURN women like me. to quell the fires of liberty In the blessed fertile crescent, THEY STILL STONE WOMEN LIKE ME! and one day you will say just look at her now! ...and as everything fades to black ...and as the jackals laugh in the aftermath i'm not yours anymore
