OTEP LYRICS - Crooked Spoons

"Crooked Spoons"



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
