Olya and the Monster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm hearing voices in my head
Live a life of pain and tragedy
Experiment in terror, I'm better off dead
Got to make it through this forest of the fallen
Must prevent the spread of this disease
In order to be cleansed, I make the sacrifice to end my life
And then prepare for my destiny
I'm hearing voices in my head
Live a life of pain and tragedy
Experiment in terror, I'm better off dead
Got to make it through this forest of the fallen
Must prevent the spread of this disease
In order to be cleansed, I make the sacrifice to end my life
And then prepare for my destiny
Got to make it through this forest of the fallen
Must prevent the spread of this disease
In order to be cleansed, I make the sacrifice to end my life
And then prepare for my destiny
My destiny! My destiny!
