Invisible
Otep Lyrics

Dress like we do,
Conform to our appearance,

Speak like we do,
Use our language and tone,

Think like we do
Adopt the same beliefs and values as us,

Obey...
Comply with our expectations and commands,

Beneath the cold sun
In a world that lacks warmth and compassion,

Watching you walk away
Feeling helpless as someone leaves,

Where my terror runs
Experiencing overwhelming fear,

In rivers so decayed
In torrents of negativity and despair,

I am invisible...
Feeling unnoticed and disregarded,

I'm in this mood for days...
Feeling trapped in gloom and misery for a long time,

Teeth on every wall...
Sensing danger or threat everywhere,

That never go away.
That persist and continue to haunt,

I'm made of blades and flame...
Being volatile and destructive,

I'm sick and dangerous...
Being ill, both physically and mentally, and posing a risk to others,

You're my favorite prey
Viewing others as targets or victims,

'Cause I hurt the ones I love.
Harming those closest to me because of my own issues,

You're so lovely when you cry.
Finding pleasure in others' pain and suffering,

You're so perfect when you lie.
Admiring deception and manipulation in others,

You can be my crucifix,
Being a source of salvation or a means of causing harm,

Hold me up to watch me die.
Taking delight in self-destruction,

Can't you see?
Don't you understand my perspective,

Beneath the Pagan moon
In a world that is wild and unrestrained,

One more prey dies today.
Claiming more victims,

On sheets of flesh and doom
In blood and misery,

Shivering in endless shade like criminals...
Suffering in darkness and isolation like a prisoner,

The stain still remains
The damage and consequences of actions persist,

And I promise you, it never goes away.
Assuring others that the memories and effects last forever,

Behold,
See and witness,

Feast your eyes as the peripherals explode.
Experience the shock and thrill of violent destruction,

Can you see me now? (2x)
Do you recognize me or my pain,

The ugly will resign
The unpleasant and distasteful will not last,

When the young blood eats the light.
When youth and vitality consume and overpower weakness and darkness,

And one day, this pain could save your life.
Suggesting that adversity and suffering can lead to growth and strength,

Living in the shelter,
Existing in a place of safety and protection,

Lying here alive...
Being in a state of living but not thriving,

We're painting submission
Conforming and submitting ourselves to the expectations of others,

Across the shadowed sky...
Covering the truth and reality with darkness,

Fire on the sides,
Embers on the fringes,

Burned and bright, has arrived
Strong and influential forces have arrived,

Lost in flight, on golden molted wings
Flying away on powerful but deceptive wings,

Now do you see?
Now that the truth is revealed, do you see and understand,

Mama, don't cry...
Comforting and consoling someone who is grieving,

I'm leaving his life...
Leaving behind someone or something that was harmful,

It's not your fault.
Reassuring someone that it's not their responsibility or blame,

Paid for our sins,
Having atoned or suffered for our mistakes and wrongdoings,

You protected us then...
Thanking someone for their past support and care,

And saved us all.
Rescuing us from harm or danger,

I make this vow,
Making a solemn and serious promise,

I promise you now
Assuring someone that I am sincere and committed to my word,

He'll never touch us again...
Ensuring that someone who caused harm will not be able to do so again,

He'll never touch us again...
Repeating and emphasizing the promise to provide reassurance and hope,

He'll never touch us again...
Finishing the song with a powerful and resounding commitment.
