Special Pets Lyrics by Otep

Special Pets

When you scream it sounds like a lullaby
When you beg I get all gooey inside
Tonight I take your eyes, mind, and tongue
To spread the word, and watch your kingdom come

Another night with you
Another wound
You keep me
In stitches
You tear me
To pieces

I need new voices in my head
To speak my secret evils with
I need new lovers in my bed
To be my friends and special pets

I need your scent all over me
I need to taste your blasphemy
I need to know with certainty
The nectar was worth the squeeze

It's just the way that we're diseased
It's the plague that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious [x2]

Once upon a time
I ripped the wings from my spine
But when I hide inside your eyes
I still pretend that I can fly

Tell me every secret
So you can fall in love
And then fall to pieces

I need new voices in my head
A new disguise for me to hide
I need new lovers in my bed
To feed my secret appetites

I need your scent all over me
I need to taste this tragedy
I need to know with certainty
That the nectar was worth the squeeze

It's just the way that we're diseased
It's the plague that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious [x2]

It's just a game we play in the dark

When you scream it sounds like a lullaby
When you beg I get all gooey inside
Tonight I take your eyes and tongue
To spread the word, and watch you come

To keep me
In stitches
You tear me
To pieces

It's just the way that we're diseased
It's the plague that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious [x2]
