[00:00.00]I Remember - Otep
[00:14.31]Who's there
[00:18.19]Who's there
[00:42.28]And I remember
[00:45.53]Flashes of laughter
[00:54.66]And lunatics
[01:00.96]Lost in the asylum
[01:07.84]Seductive propaganda
[01:20.06]Scrolling across my mind
[01:25.67]Like guerilla cinema
[01:33.62]Belts and wooden spoons
[01:42.14]Flies in the afterbirth
[01:53.73]Shadows across my mind
[02:22.35]And crawling on linoleum kitchens
[02:34.47]Streaming death and corporate concienceness into my brain
[02:50.96]And cracked porclein sinks stuffed with
[03:00.85]Dirty dishes
[03:08.65]The early morning anxiety of gradeschool
[03:18.82]Dark stockings to hide the bruises
[03:28.47]Secret friends and festive holidays
[03:36.94]And everyone in their in their sunday best
[03:40.69]Pretending to like each other
[03:55.15]For generations and generations of
[04:02.52]Sad mistakes
[04:08.89]Stealing away in the dead of night to
[04:17.92]Escape the stiff jawed henchmen in the hungry trucks
[04:24.24]Of an angry slumlord miles and miles away
[04:33.72]Impatient and understanding
[04:45.46]Waking on the side of the road
[04:48.21]Hissing radiator hoses cracked like
[04:56.08]Like Burned skin
[05:01.69]Days so hot a nuclear holocaust would've felt like siberian blizzard
[05:29.54]And I remember
[05:32.07]The first time I felt it alive inside me
[05:47.08]Turning the deadweight
[05:53.60]Moving within the folds of its winged embrace
[06:05.45]Opening and sliding those black feathers
[06:13.85]Inches at a time
[06:19.83]Those feet its feet
[06:25.56]Pushing pushing pushing and digging into the membrane
[06:39.13]Deep enough to cause pregnancy
[06:42.85]And I remember it going numb
[06:48.96]And listening to it hum
[06:56.57]And I feel it move in its mysteries
[07:05.02]Exploring me
[07:15.37]And I remember this
[07:20.18]And I know
[07:26.40]I never had a chance
[07:31.89]There's never any escaping it
