"My Confession"
(R. Patterson / Otep Shamaya)

... My confession

Because I'm diluted
And
Perfectly flawed

I shall
Live by passion
And
Not by law

And I'm
Insecure...
I need aggression

To
Feed the spiders
Of perception

And I'm
Supposed to be strong
And have
All the answers

Cannibal
In the
New church of cancer

But I'm
Nothing special
I'm not unique

I have
Many secrets
And i
Eat the weak

And I'm
At an end

I'm at an end...

And there's...
No way out!

I need to find my sanctuary
... Someplace safe
Gotta get this outta me
... This is my escape

II.
And i
Think about it
All the time

I'm
Volatile
And
Afraid to cry

But I'm
Still not comfortable
In my skin

And the
Anesthetics slowly
Wearing thin

And i
Need to talk to
Someone new

I need a different
Latitude

And I'm
In this void

All alone!
Feeling needy

... Hungry to grow

But I'm
Suffocating
- Can't come down

And... no...
There's no way out!

I need to find my sanctuary
... Someplace safe
Gotta get this outta me!
... This is my escape!

- All I see is sadness
All I see is sadness...
What's left?

- This will teach them.
This will teach them,

...You've got to...
Push.
Push.
PUSH...
Your way out!

Follow me!
Follow me!
This is your way out!

...You are not alone

- This is where I hide my power
- This is where I become free
- This is where I take control
- And slowly choke your fantasies

- I want to know my day is coming
- See my enemies be punished
- Shed my skin again
- This will be my best revenge!

Shed my skin again
This will be my best revenge!
