Songtexte: Otep. Smash the Control Machine. Kisses & Kerosene.

I wish I can have you here alone in my clutches
To remove the excuses from your mind
To part that haze and slice your soul in pieces
To sing you a lullaby as I tie you to the slab

To shave your head with a dulling razor
As you watch the splattered mirror above you
To break your ribs individually with a rock hammer
To shatter your shin bones with a shovel

To burn your fingers and toes
To a necrotic black flickering nitrogen
To crack your teeth with a splintered club
To pierce with your limbs with a nail gun

To silence your cry, to let them in your eyes
To sharpen my favorite slicing device
And take your arms at the elbow
To keep you alive for a few moments longer

To smell your fear
To cover your body with kisses and kerosene
To watch you burn as my human sacrifice
To hear you scream in agony

The popping of your flesh cracking as it cooks
To feel your child smile, the one you betrayed
The one you took for nothing, for selfishness
In a perfect world I would get my wish
