Marilyn Manson - Overneath the Path of Misery
Lyrics[]
“And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
-- William Shakespeare
Stare into my Kodak room
Jackhammer eyes never thought you'd see the asphalt
Crack, crack, crack like a black eggshell
Don't ever say I never warned you from the start
Don't ever say I never warned you from the start
You're not a shovel and I'm not your dirt
Is there any way to unswallow my pride
Can I fuck myself down
While I die you can kill the father
Dad is missing an "e"
No Macbeth confessed Oedipus
No longer present tense
No Macbeth confessed Oedipus
No longer pre-sentence
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no
No reason
I am overneath
I am overneath
I won't regret letting you live
Even if you forgot what you never saved me from
So I say whatever or for never
For, for, for, for fallen for never
For, for, for, for fallen for never
For, for, for, for fallen for never
Whatever
The rape of Persephone
was choreographed by all the wrong Greeks
The rape of Persephone was a marketing scheme
Rape rape rape per so phony
Rape rape rape per so phony
Rape rape rape per so phony
Rape rape rape per so phony
High and overneath
High and overneath
Overneath
Overneath
Overblown
Unbeloved
Cannot be low
From the top of my lungs
To the bottom of my heart
I scream
At the chasm in between
And the path of misery
Overneath
Overneath
Overblown
Unbeloved
Cannot be low
From the top of my lungs
To the bottom of my heart
I scream
At the chasm in between
And the path of misery
I am overneath
I am overneath
No no no no no reason
No no no no no reason
No no no no no reason
