Slipknot
Album • 2014
This song is not for the living This song is for the dead With my face against the floor I can't see who knocked me out of the way I don't want to get back up But I have to, so it might as well be today Nothing appeals to me, no one feels like me I'm too busy being calm to disappear I'm in no shape to be alone Contrary to the shit that you might hear So walk with me, walk with me Don't let this symbolism kill your heart Walk with me, walk with me Just like we should've done right from the start Walk with me, walk with me Don't let this fucking world tear you apart

Undo these chains, my friend I'll show you the rage I've hidden Perish the sacrament Swallow, but nothing's forgiven You and I can't decide Which of us was taken for granted Make amends Some of us are destined to be outlived Step inside, see the Devil in I Too many times we've let it come to this Step inside, see the Devil in I You'll realize I'm not your Devil anymore Under the words of men Something is tempting the father Where is your will, my friend? Insatiates never even bother You and I, wrong or right Traded a lie for the leverage In between the lens in light You're not what you seem Step inside, see the Devil in I Too many times we've let it come to this Step inside, see the Devil in I You'll realize I'm not your Devil I'm not your Devil anymore Your station is abandoned Fooled you 'cause I know what you've done Sensation, depravation You should've burned when you turned on everyone So, step inside, see the Devil in I Too many times we've let it come to this Step inside, see the Devil in I I know you'll find your answers in the end Step inside, see the Devil in I You'll realize I'm not your Devil anymore So, step inside Step inside See the Devil in I See the Devil in I, hahaha

She's sticking needles in her skin, I turn with an ugly grin Her canvas doesn't leave a lot to fantasy But her peace of mind can't stay inside the lines It's so confusing, the methods that she's using She knows she shouldn't leave a mark that I can see Will she ever find one million of a kind? It's cold and lonely, but that's because she told me Lost inside her dirty world, no one hurts this pretty girl but her Oh, she's beautiful A little better than a man deserves Oh, I'm not insane Please tell me she won't change Maybe I should let her go But only when she loves me (She loves me) How can I just let her go? Not until she loves me (She loves me), oh She's drowning in herself again, my God, what a lovely sin I guess there's nothing left to do but have my way She can feel it's right, so she doesn't close her eyes She smiles and answers, it doesn't seem to matter Lost inside my dirty head, something tells me I'm the one who's kept Oh, so volatile A little better than a man defiled Oh, I need the pain Please tell me she won't change Maybe I should let her go But only when she loves me (She loves me) How can I just let her go? Not until she loves me (She loves me), oh We were meant to be together Now die and fuckin' love me We were meant to hurt each other Now die and fuckin' love me Die and fuckin' love me Die and fuckin' love me Die and fuckin' love me

Only when the fates commiserate Do we get a little taste as unique? The libertine know what I mean? Hiroshima on a Sunday You had a gift, you were a gift But there's always a goddamn catch Blessing and a curse, you made it work The universe seems so much smaller Legend, bastard, best friend, why? Why do the limits have to realign? Hero, martyr, mystery, God He was the best of us The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you Never be the same, I want the blame To be assigned to the guiltiest one It can't be done because the son Was the victim they arrested I'm so fucking pissed, at all of this You gotta know that you are sorely missed Miracles are real, they help you heal They make you feel like things will get better Father, brother, scapegoat, why? Why did we only get this time? Fighter, icon, skeptic, God Stop taking the best of us I won't let you disappear I will keep your soul alive if I can't have you here History may have its share of lunatics and stars But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you Skeptic, skeptic, skeptic Skeptic, skeptic, skeptic Where am I supposed to begin? I'm killing for the karma again Feed the meter in the machine Believing is the way to be seen Gone, are we alone? Gone, are we alone? Gone, are we alone? Gone, we're not alone! I can't let you disappear I will keep your soul alive if I can't have you here We were meant to be the kings Rule the masses, run the risks And keep our systems clean History may have its share of lunatics and stars But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you The world will never know another man as amazing as you The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you Like you Like you

I know why Judas wept, motherfucker The fires burn on the summit Shining a light on the ones I've killed Survivor's guilt, undetermined I could murder the world in all the blood I've spilled Banishment sequestered and conquered To hell with your intelligence Just figure out your common sense No one is bulletproof, yeah I'll eat the skins of my brothers The alabaster bones will make a perfect wall Can I fill in the cracks of these feelings With every terrible piece or maybe nothing at all? Selfishness, take credit for everything What more could you ask for? And does it matter anymore? No one is bulletproof, yeah Can you feel the cold? Fortune never favors the old Tired of defending myself Go complain to somebody else, somebody else The monsters in your madness are the voices in your head They're scratching at your windows as you hide beneath the bed You live like fucking heathens, so you'll die like pagan gods In between the poisons and the pure contagions and the cure Nine for sure Nine for sure Nine for sure Nine for sure I got a bone that's dead inside of me It's a rotting sick that I don't need Feel free to vent your denigration I can't believe I'm saying this I'll live with my regrets I'll die by my decisions I'm not your fucking superstar Keep it close, you're going way too far No one is bulletproof Bulletproof No one is bulletproof Bulletproof No one is bulletproof Bulletproof

Come on over, come unglued It's not easy to see all of you Help yourselves, help is on the way Well, there's nothing to lose, so now I have something to say Maybe we can all recognize a moment of silence Maybe we can finally agree on the same point of view A long time ago we believed, and we were united So the last thing on Earth I am ready to do is say "goodbye" A long time ago we discovered that nothing could stop us This hasn't torn us apart, so nothing ever will How can we know where we are if the sun is behind us? But this moment will show us the rest of our lives No one is going to save us this time No one can know what we're feeling, so don't even try

Let's skip all the histrionics Not again, not another excuse The epidemic is codependent Biting off more than your mouth can chew Don't forget to convalesce your secrets I don't wanna be a man today For all you know, I'm the silver in the bullet I am the trigger that will make you all obey I'm going to make you cry tonight I'm going to make you hate me Inside all my flaws again (I can't let go) In spite of you, I'm lost again (I still don't know) Disguises show me What am I if I am only? The status quo is not a punishment... But now it feels like home Your association finds you guilty Starting with the end of the day Black and white is such a fascist feeling Right or wrong, and nothing to say The last good bipeds cleaning up the fingerprints Unappreciated medical fiends Confiscate another classic inbred Fuck it all, light the acetylene No other choice, I can't explain Life keeps taking things away Inside all my flaws again (I can't let go) In spite of you, I'm lost again (I still don't know) Disguises show me What am I if I am only? The status quo is not a punishment... But now it feels like home The tough guys who came to kill But stayed to rape and ravage... The future's here, I'm past my prime When the evidence came, I committed the crime Can you stand on your faith with your feet on the Bible? Who could ask for a better disciple? What's the point? I'm not sure I can I'll never dig another grave I'm afraid of what I'll find If it hurts, then you're too old I'll take your shit and give you fucking gold I'm gonna make you cry tonight I need you to hate me Inside all my flaws again (I can't let go) In spite of you, I'm lost again (I still don't know) Disguises show me What am I if I am only? The status quo is not a punishment... But now it feels like home But now it feels like home

I don't seem to care today I mirror what I love with what I hate Empty ways can cloud your eyes I only know because I tried So come with me, come with me Let's meet our contestants There's no better time to play the game I don't wanna give it away, underneath the citadels Buried deep with your guilt and regrets Leading in the dark, everything is wonderful I don't care, I don't want to forget Why is it a crime? It's none of your business I prefer to be in hell by myself Turn the other cheek and tell it to somebody Who refuses to forgive when nothing was taken No one else survives, I've seen you live, now watch me die But we don't see the writing on the wall And as I close my eyes, alone in here, I realize The one that kills the least still kills us all Hidden in the rubble Everybody's got a story to tell What do I need? Eliminate the possible All that's left is a man in a cell Maybe I'm wrong, maybe a decision Is the better way to go, the better way to be I've got my demons, go get your own Save another number, don't forget to hate me No one else survives, I've seen you live, now watch me die But we don't see the writing on the wall And as I close my eyes, alone in here, I realize The one that kills the least still kills us all No one else survives, I've seen you live, now watch me die But we don't see the writing on the wall And as I close my eyes, lost in here, I realize The one that kills the least still kills us all The one that kills the least still kills us all The one that kills the least still kills us all, all, all, all

I can't get out, or I'll die Just let me be I'll never be never Be prepared for hell, and I say, "Oh, well Just tell me when I can open my eyes" and realize I've died Be prepared for hell, and I say, "Oh, well Just tell me when I can open my eyes" and realize I've died

Ooh, ooh It's been years since anyone could be a friend It's the fear that kills the feeling in the end Can we face it? Can we shape it? Can we really die? If rain is what you want... all you have to do is close your eyes Just close your eyes... I am watching resurrections start to crawl Is there any chance in hell? Any chance at all? Do we need it? Do we see it? Is it really there? If rain is what you want... then take your seats, enjoy the fall Enjoy the fall The only thing deeper than my last breath The only thing darker than my last death Is the panic, the static, I've come back from the dead But my cities... will never sleep again In these diamonds, we're left with colored glass As pressure takes its toll, we will outlast But you can't break my heart As long as I can be myself, I'll never fall apart And you can't take me in If I'm not broken, break me down So I will never feel alone again The only thing deeper than my last breath The only thing darker than my last death Is the panic, the static, I've come back from the dead But my cities... will never sleep again My cities... will never sleep again My cities... will never sleep again My cities... will never sleep again My cities... will never sleep again

The ghosts have given up, familiar haunts have had enough Too much thought will give you doubt, now they found you It's safer in a cage, they can tell you what to say All your dreams come with a price, so they own you But what did you expect? Was it too much to protect? Did you understand they had selfish intentions When they were pulling you in opposite directions? You don't know the hell that's coming Everybody get on the ground You don't know the hell that's coming Everybody get on the ground We are the override We are the override The dead don't know, the dead are lonely, a fascination fades When this mercy execution says it's over You follow as preferred, now their plans are undeterred Who can bring them in to supersede? it's over Even hate starts out as love Sometimes when it's all you want Maybe satisfaction will take you for granted When all that's left is the emotion you abandoned You don't know the hell that's coming Everybody get on the ground You don't know the hell that's coming Everybody get on the ground We are the override We are the override You clawed out from nothing, and I sent you back Fought to the metal and law's what you lacked Covered in sores, you cannot be the one You are the answer to why we have risen You are not the way You are judged to be afraid You are simple and unchanged We believe you should give up Give up, give up, give up, give up Satisfaction will take you for granted When all that's left is a life you abandoned You don't know the hell that's coming Everybody get on the ground You don't know the hell that's coming Everybody get on the ground We are the override We are the override Yeah! Give up Give up Give up Give up Give up Give up Give up Give up

(There's God) (There's God) (There's God) There's God Can I feed you again? Will I have to stay dumb? You can feel, and it begins But I know inside this heart attack I can see through your eyes I'm terrified of everything But it's no real surprise Because the parasites are dancing closer All this sacrilegion warns in posters Can you handle it? In the dark Why I think I'm alone? I sweat through my visions I'm going too cold Today is a tragedy In the mouth of the mad But that doesn't matter now I've come home relaxed I'm curled up in a ball and shaking I'm hiding from the hell I'm making I can't believe the chance I'm taking Is there any other way? Is there any other way? The burden The burden You can't save me There is nothing more to give I am changing Almost like I never lived Be my witness Just don't leave me in suspense Keep this, prove it Tell them all the consequences The burden Have you ever been burdened before? The burden Was there anything you wanted more? You can't save me There is nothing more to give I am changing Almost like I never lived Be my witness Just don't leave me in suspense Keep this, prove it Tell them all the consequences Our same plea By now you know that looks are deceiving I'm covered in a rash and receding Is there any other way? Is there any other way? For Gods' sakes, we've suffered, this pain is now our lives For Gods' sakes, we've suffered enough For Gods' sakes, we've suffered, this pain is now our lives For Gods' sakes, we've suffered enough For Gods' sakes, we've suffered, this pain is now our lives For Gods' sakes, we've suffered enough For Gods' sakes, we've suffered, this pain is now our lives For Gods' sakes, we've suffered enough, enough, enough, enough
