OTEP LYRICS - Head

"Head"



In that final look

Does the deer forgive the wolf?



You've stolen my fascination

You've amothered my holy addiction



And now I'm soaked in you

Like fat white worms or sad haikus



I woke up

& the worldwas on the fire



I woke up

& the swine had conspired



To erase all the faith

That I have in the human race



I woke up

& the world was on fire



It's all in your head

It's all in your head

They said I need to flee



Are they shepherds?

Or are they sheep?

Are we the butchers?

Or are we meat?



In this nest of lies

Living a life under siege

We sink in the stink

& I need my disease



It's all in your head

They said I need to flee

This neverending ordinary monarchy



Beneath the toxic water

Where my secrets come to meet

In catacombs of shadow

& wet skies of mystery



I found a soggy savior

A painted lady made of eyes

She sings to me, my deceit

"your life is a lie"



I woke up

& the world was on fire



I woke up

& the swine had conspired



To erase all the faith

That I have in the human race



I woke up

& the world

Was

On

Fire



It's all in your head

It's all in your head

They said I need to flee



Are they shepherds?

Or are they sheep?

Are we the butchers?

Or are we meat?



In this nest of lies

Living a life under siege

We sink in the stink

& I need my disease



It's all in your head

They said I need to flee

This neverending ordinary monarchy



If we stand too still,

They're gonna eat us alive!



Watch your tongue,

Teach them young...



Medicate the mutiny.

Better living through chemistry

Self destruction's patriotic.

Money fixes everything.



Wach your tongue,

Teach them young...



We're taught

To love & hate

To fight & obey...



I've lost my mind,

But I've found my way



(in this nest of lies

Every wall has eyes)



It's all in your head

It's all in your head

They said I need to flee



Are they shepherds?

Or are they sheep?

Are we the butchers?

Or are we meat?



In this nest of lies

Living a life under siege

We sink in the stink

& I need my disease



It's all in your head

They said I need to flee

This neverending ordinary monarchy
