"Overneath the Path of Misery" is the fourth song on Marilyn Manson's eighth studio album Born Villain. The song first appeared in the Born Villain trailer released on September 1, 2011. The title of the song was initially thought to be "No Reason" due to the amount of times the phrase is repeated throughout the song, though Marilyn Manson confirmed later in 2011 at The Path of Misery art exhibition that the song's title was in fact, "Overneath the Path of Misery."

Lyrics

The following lyrics have yet to be made official:

  Stare into my Kodak Rome
  Jackhammer eyes never thought you'd see the ashphalt
  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
  
  High and overneath
  High and 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 coreographed by all the wrong Greeks
  The rape of Persephone was a marketing scheme
  Rape, rape, rape Persephone
  Rape, rape, rape Persephone
  Rape, rape, rape Persephone
  Rape, rape, rape Persephone
  
  High and overneath
  High and overneath   
  High and overneath   
  High and overneath
  No, no, no, no, no reason
  No, no, no, no, no reason
  No, no, no, no
  No reason
