Where the river ends

Come with me
I will let you see with my words
I will let you burn, and observe
But where I go, you can only follow
So close your eyes, open your mind and see

Somewhere, out in the dark
A car pulls up and parks
And the passenger shifts, nervously in her seat
And the butterflies flutter in her belly

And the driver shuts off the engine, moves a little close
She giggles a little as he unbuttons her blouse
She pushes him away and he whispers, "aw baby, don't be that way"
I took you out, i treated you right,
Now mmm don't put up a fight
Come on
I only wanna put the tip in
Don't fight, don't fight, c'mon This is all your fault y'know,
Just, mmm, just relax, just let me do what i gotta do,
And I'll let ya go,
Don't you love me? mmmmm, ffff
Don't you... love me?

Breathe in deep a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth, and i must scream
Breathe in deep a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth.

And somewhere in a normal neighborhood
In a normal house,
A normal family... is falling apart
And down the hall, the little ones hide
Frozen as fossils, as their mother cries,
Listening, now that the others have gone silent
The walls blister, as sister rises in defiance

Here, in the depths of the labyrinth she will make her mark
She travels the cavern, searching for the minotaur
And she finds him, asleep in the heat of his triumphs,
A sparkle of flame flickers in her eye
She nudges him softly and says: Daddy? Wanna give me a try?
And he rumbles a roar,
You must lick honey from a thorn if you are to survive this night.
And she says, nooooo, i'd rather a pick a fight, heh heh
And he reaches out, and she's on the attack
And he's face down, and she straddles his back
And as the moonlight fades from his eyes
She sighs, c'mon? what's the matter? don't you love me?
Don't you... love me? Breathe in deep a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth, and i must scream

What we are, you too, will become
Liberated children of a blood hungry god

Sedition!

They used to hang women like me
Strange fruit on the poplar tree!
They used to own women like me
Necessary accessories!
They used to burn women like me
To quell the fires of liberty
In the blessed fertile crescent
They still stone women like me

And one day you will say
Just look at her now!

And as everything fades to black
And as they jackals laugh in the aftermath
I'm not yours, anymore
