Testo di 'Apex Predator' di Otep

She’s begging on the door
She’s crawling on the floor
Oh, she’s so coy

She’s scratching on the walls.
She’s clawing at the gauze.
She’s so coy.

She’s a knot on the ropes
She’s pulling at the hooks
She’s so coy

Oh, you know she wants it
In the way that she taunts me.
Damn, she’s so coy.

It’s the apex predator
With a message for the listener.
Seduce & destroy.

Your head upon a stick
Would look really sick
But they would call me crazy
For the way i spoke to it.

I’d ask about its day,
Did it miss me while i was away?
Tight-lipped from the stitches
It wouldn’t have much to say....

The rest would be kept
In a tight little dress
Locked up in the corner
A perfect little pet

Locked in the box
So i could give start
A trophy to show me
To all i had lost

The writing on the wall
A psalm in napalm
“abandon all hope
But try to stay calm”

Bleach to clean the curses
“i exist. i’m not the first.
Tell my mother i love her.
I didn’t suffer”.

Photos & fantasies.
Virtuoso of crime scenes
The apex predator..."

Why does she look so much like me?

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that?
I gotta satisfy the thirst...

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that?
Death is such a flirt.

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that
You’ll get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that
Survival of the worst

It’s the apex predator
The writing on the wall
Em evas

She’s got a broken arm,
I’ve got a broken heart.
Boy, she’s so coy.

She made a little fire
With a fork & electrical wire.
Damn, she’s so coy.

Blowtorch nightlight,
Switchblade knife fights
Fuck, she’s so coy.

Thunder in the distance.
Gunshots or missiles?
My smile is artificial.
The lock clicks, my eyes fix.

The writing on the wall,
A psalm in napalm
“abandon all hope
But try to stay calm”

Bleach to clean the curses
“i exist. i’m not the first.
Tell my mother i love her.
I didn’t suffer”.

No regrets, no apologies.
A self-fulfilling prophecy.
The apex predator.

All i could smell was her hair ….burning

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt,
But where’s the fun in that?
I gotta satisfy the thirst

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that?
Death is such a flirt.

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that
To get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that
Survival of the worst

Why does she look so much like me?

Em evas… like worms on a hook
That were plucked from the heart
Of the bodies of gods
For the wretched and lost

Like worms on a hook
That were plucked from the heart
Of the bodies of gods
That men had forgot

Like worms on a hook
That were plucked from the heart
Of the bodies of gods
That were rotting to dust

All i could smell was her hair ….burning

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that?
I gotta satisfy the thirst...

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that?
Death is such a flirt.

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that
To get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that
Survival of the worst

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that?
I gotta satisfy the thirst...

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that?
Death is such a flirt.

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that
To get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But where’s the fun in that
Survival of the worst

All i could smell was her hair…
All i could smell was her hair…
Burning…
