《Baby’s Breath》歌词

[00:00:00] Baby's Breath - Otep

[00:00:07] The soft sound of snow crunching

[00:00:10] Underfoot gives me comfort

[00:00:16] Her building is at the end of the block

[00:00:21] She lives on the north side

[00:00:24] Bottom floor Middle apartment

[00:00:29] I see her: 1 2 3 4 5 steps

[00:00:36] Wrong key Lock clicks She drops her

[00:00:44] Coat and scarf in the entry and

[00:00:48] Kicks off those vixen shoes

[00:00:52] She shuffles to the kitchen and pours

[00:00:54] A glass of scotch (I am inside)

[00:01:04] She lights a cigarette and blows

[00:01:06] The smoke over the match (She doesn't notice)

[00:01:14] The gray smog rises from her

[00:01:16] Lips like a cremation furnace

[00:01:24] The simple elegance of this quiet

[00:01:27] Moment is almost irresistible

[00:01:33] (But I wait)

[00:01:37] She slugs back the scotch

[00:01:40] Finishes her smoke and ashes it

[00:01:43] In the sink She unties her hair

[00:01:49] And enters the hallway past the

[00:01:53] Childless bedroom with the empty

[00:01:55] Crib past the altar coated in wax

[00:02:01] Like a wedding cake and the tiny

[00:02:06] Packages of meat dead flowers

[00:02:12] And baby's breath

[00:02:15] She enters the bathroom where

[00:02:19] She undresses She sits on the

[00:02:24] Edge of the bath Her body

[00:02:28] Folded in half heavy tits hanging

[00:02:35] Like mushy stalactites over her

[00:02:37] Lap (Oh precious) She closes her

[00:02:44] Eyes and holds her head as if it

[00:02:48] Might float away

[00:02:53] For a moment my thoughts drift

[00:02:56] Again this time to the hammer

[00:03:00] I am holding The handle is

[00:03:05] Smooth as bone the forged steel

[00:03:09] Head is heavy and I feel powerful

[00:03:19] She reaches for the faucet

[00:03:21] And I snap back to the moment

[00:03:24] Bubbles brim the edge of the

[00:03:26] Tub Her fingers check the water

[00:03:30] Temperature and I am ready

[00:03:37] I move behind her She doesn't

[00:03:40] Hear I swing the hammer She

[00:03:45] Doesn't see I crack her skull

[00:03:50] She's in the tub Face down I am

[00:03:58] Drowning her mashing her head

[00:04:01] To the bottom knifing the claw of

[00:04:04] The hammer into her spine and

[00:04:06] Ribs over and over and over and

[00:04:11] Over and over and over and over

[00:04:17] And over and

[00:04:25] Her body stops pretending to

[00:04:27] Care and surrenders as it is supposed

[00:04:33] To just to be sure I press

[00:04:41] Hard keeping her head beneath

[00:04:45] The bloody water a few moments

[00:04:48] More Her neck snaps her nose

[00:04:55] Breaks and her face collapses

[00:05:00] Against the bottom of the tub I

[00:05:07] See my reflection in the mirror

[00:05:11] And soapy foam has formed a half

[00:05:14] Smile over the black nylon mask I

[00:05:18] Am wearing

[00:05:24] I lean to her The water glistens

[00:05:30] Like glass I hover over the

[00:05:38] Surface soft breath causing tiny

[00:05:43] Quakes and whisper "I have done

[00:05:51] To you what nature has done to me "

[00:06:05] She doesn't reply

[00:06:12] I stand and turn off the light

[00:06:23] The room is dark and empty

[00:06:29] Just like I am now
