Backstab

from Overcome by Catherine Corelli

/

lyrics

1: Solitude
Where the wind comes from?
I can hardly taste it
Where the wind goes?
Somewhere afar, somewhere ahead
It throws all my thoughts backward
Then twists my mind and makes them return forward

I have learned the human nature
Every day I feel the danger
I can't move in your direction
Can't be part of your dimension

You can't reach where I go
My own world you don't know
I’m so drained and so empty
You stabbed me and left me

Where do I come from?
I can scarcely know it
Where am I going?
Somewhere afar, somewhere ahead
I'll never understand why
You always do your best to leave me behind

Behind

I have learned your human nature:
You're my risk and I'm your danger
Rules and habits give you safety
Fear the coming of the deity

You can't run where I fly
Things you don't know you deny
You need me, but don't love me
So you stab me, but don't kill me

2: Weirdoes
Hide deep in your shells
Shut your ears, shut your eyes
Learn to write
Before you spell your lies

Latch your horrid lusts
Wall me off with apathy
I’m Lilith and I'm Kali
Accuse me of anomie

Spread some more of your deceit
Pour your venom to my feet

Serve your flesh and praise your idols
Cheat your gods and rock your cradles
Trust your lust, confide the worthless
They are always at your service

Every one of you
All the race, but a few
Is dead long before
Your bodies fester
Gone before you come
Buried before you're born
You are the desperate addict
In agony

Open wide your gates for me
Hang me, nail me to your tree

Serve your flesh and praise your idols
Cheat your gods and rock your cradles
Trust your lust, confide the worthless
They are always at your service

3: Succubus
You look upward when an angel cries
You call it rain
They call it pain
You rise your heads when a hero dies
But when he’s gone
You’ll find another clown

I am your first aid and I’m the last drop
I am your thin line and I’m your lost hope
I came to push you up. You’re knocking me down
But you can’t finish the day before the sun’s down

You can't reach where I go
My own world you don't know
So drained and so empty
You stabbed me and left me

You can't run where I fly
Things you don't know you deny
You need me, but don't love me
So you stab me, but don't kill me
You need me, but don't love me
So you stab me, but don't kill me

Spread some more of your deceit
Pour your venom to my feet
Open wide your gates for me
Hang me, nail me to your tree

Serve your flesh! Praise your idols!
Cheat your gods! Rock your cradles!
Trust your lust! Confide the worthless!
They are here! At your service!
