Lyrics
Suicide Trees
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I spent my whole life
In love with despair
Kept my lungs full
With the breath of their
Mute atmosphere
I became what I hate
And thus shall I remain
To give birth to a mighty assassin
Armed with a weapon of words
To defy the lies
To never compromise
No
Today, my name is pain
I stood
Beyond the world
Whispering secret syllables
In the eyeless dark
Dancing wildly
Round and round on the rotting ground
Surrounded by the dead dusts of Hell
This is how I delete myself
And this is how I corrupt everyone else
Obey
Obey
Betray
Betray
You are not unique
You do not need to think
Take it, take it!
I will
I will, I will
You succumb, so nicely
(Like an insect staring back, like a dying dove)
My love, (no), my love
[Song]
So here we are again
The sheets are stained & bloodied
The animals scratch at my skin
Here we are again
My face is scraped & bloodied
I've nothing left to give
- I wasn't there
- I'm not involved
- I'm innocent
- It's not my fault
- I wasn't there
- I'm not involved
- I'm innocent
- It's not my fault
Here in the suicide trees
Here in the suicide trees
(No. Bloody, bloody, bloody, murder!)
Among the excrement of my sins!
It's not happening, it can't be happening, it's not happening
So here we are again
In secret ceremonies
Changing shape, amen
Here we are again
Pretending not to notice
The illness sneaking in
- I wasn't there
- I'm not involved
- I'm innocent
- It's not my fault
- I wasn't there
- I'm not involved
- I'm innocent
- It's not my fault
Here in the suicide trees
Here in the suicide trees
Toil & labor
Hate your neighbor
Faith in favor
Obey!
Toil & labor
Hate your neighbor
Faith in favor
Obey!
Obey
Obey
Here, I do as I please!
Here in the suicide trees!
Here, I do as I please!
Here in the suicide trees!
Obey!
Hate your neighbors!
Hate your neighbors!
(The animals scratch at my skin)
It's not happening, it's not happening
