Apex Predator - Otep

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

The way that she taunts me

Damn, she’s so coy…

It’s the Apex Predator

With a sermon 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

Propped up in the corner

A perfect 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 crimes 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 where’s the fun in that

Death is such a flirt

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s 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…

It’s the Apex Predator…

I’m the boss…

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

Gun shots 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

You get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that

Survival of the worst!

But why does she look so much like me?

Like worms on a hook

That were plucked from the

Heart of the bodies of gods

For the wretched &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!

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

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 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 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…
