Otep - Apex Predator

She's Pounding 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 gnawing 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 call me crazy
For the way I spoke to it

I'd ask about its day
Did it miss me when I was away

Tight lipped from the stitches
It wouldn't have much to say

The beast would be kept in a
Tight little dress

Propped up in teh corner
A perfectly little pet

Locked in a box
So I can keep stock
A trophy to show me
That all is not 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

(But 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 wheres the fun in that?
Death is such a flirt

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But whats the fun in that?
You get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But wheres the fun in that?
Survival of the worst

She's got a broken arm
I've got a broken heart
Boy, she's so coy
She made a little fire
With a little electric wire
Damn, she's so coy

Blowtorch nightlights,
switchblades, knife fights
FUCK, she's so coy

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

The writing on the wall
A Psalm in napalm
"Abandon all hope but
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
Self fulfilling prophecies
The apex predator

(All I could smell was her hair... burning)

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But wheres 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 wheres the fun in that?
You 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?)

Like worms on the hook
That were plucked from the hearts
Of the bodies of Gods
For the wretched thoughts

Like worms on the hook
That were plucked from the hearts
Of the bodies of Gods
That men had forgot

Like worms on the hook
That were plucked from the hearts
Of the bodies of Gods
That were rotting to dust

(All I could smell was her hair... burning)

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
But wheres 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 wheres the fun in that?
You 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 wheres 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 wheres the fun in that?
You 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....
All I could smell was her hair....
Burning.
