Where The River Ends by Otep
(intro)
come
with me
i will let you see with my words
i will let you burn & observe
but where i go
you can only follow
so close your eyes
open your mind
...and see
(v.1)
somewhere
out in the dark
a car pulls up
& parks
& the passenger
shifts nervously in her seat
& butterflies
flutter in her belly
& the driver
shuts off the engine
& moves a little close
she giggles a little
as he unbuttons her blouse
she pushes him away
& he whispers,
"aw baby don't be that way.
i took you out, i treated you tight.
now, don't put up a fight.
come on.
i only want to put the tip in.
don't fight, don't fight, come on.
this is all your fault you know.
just relax, let me do what i gotta do
& i'll let you go.
Don't you love me?
Don't you love me?
Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth
& I must scream
Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth...
(v.2)
and somewhere
in a normal neighborhood
in a normal house
a normal family
is falling apart
and down the hall
the little ones hide
frozen as fossils
as their mother cries
listening
now that the others have gone silent
the walls blister
as sister rises in defiance
here
in the depths of the labyrinth
she will make her mark
