"Head Of Medusa" lyrics - OTEP

In that final look
Does the deer forgive the wolf?

You've stolen my fascination
You've smothered my holy addiction

And now I'm soaked in you
Like fat white worms or sad haiku

I woke up
And the world was on the fire

I woke up
And the swine had conspired

To erase all the faith
That I have in the human race

I woke up
And the world was on fire

It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee

Are they shepherds?
Or are they sheep?
Are we the butchers?
Or are we meat?

In this nest of lies
Living life under siege
We sink in the stink
And I need my desease

It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This neverending ordinary monarchy

[V.2]

Beneath the toxic water
Where my secrets come to meet
In catacombs of shadow
And wet skies of mystery

I found a soggy savior
A painted lady made of eyes
She sings to me, of my deceit
"Your life is a lie"

I woke up
And the world was on the fire

I woke up
And the swine had conspired

To erase all the faith
That I have in the human race

I woke up
And the world was on fire

It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee

Are they shepherds?
Or are they sheep?
Are we the butchers?
Or are we meat?

In this nest of lies
Living life under siege
We sink in the stink
And I need my desease

It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This neverending ordinary monarchy

If we stand too still,
They're gonna eat us alive!

Watch your tongue,
Teach them young...

Medicate the mutiny.
Better living through chemistry.
Self destruction's patriotic.
Money fixes everything.

Watch your tongue,
Teach them young...

We're taught
To love and hate,
To fight and obey...

I've lost my mind,
But I've found my way

(In this nest of lies
Every wall has eyes)

It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee

Are they shepherds?
Or are they sheep?
Are we the butchers?
Or are we meat?

In this nest of lies
Living life under siege
We sink in the stink
And I need my desease

It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This neverending ordinary monarchy
