Slipknot is a nine-piece metal group, with each member having a number 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8, from Des Moines, Iowa. Mixing hip-hop with heavy metal, this band have became one of the most popular metal bands.

The band are noted for their image; the members wear matching boiler suits, and each has an individual mask. On their first major label album, each band member was referred to by first name and number only; the band members are far from secretive about their identities, however, and their full names were present on their second major label album. Five members of the band have been photographed without masks: Vocalist Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root with their band Stone Sour, drummer Joey Jordison with his side-project Murderdolls, bassist Paul Gray,and drummer Shawn Crahan through mugshots leaked through thesmokinggun.com.

Lyrics

Slipknot

(SIC) Enemy - Show me what you wanna be I can handle anything Even if I can't handle you Readily - Either way it better be Don't you fuckin' pity me Get up, get off... What the hell am I sayin'? I don't know about malevolent Sure as hell decadent I want somebody to step up, step off Walls! Let me fall! FUCK YOU ALL! Get a grip, don't let me slip 'til I drop the ball

I - I want it all! Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it You're goin' down, this is a war!

Who the fuck am I to criticize your twisted state of mind? You're leavin' me suspect - I'm leavin' you grotesque Feels like a burn from which you never learn Cause and effect, you jealous ass Press your face against the glass - SUFFER!

I - I want it all! Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it You're goin' down, this is a war! I've just begun It's about that time Gotta get mine

YOU CAN'T KILL ME CUZ I'M ALREADY INSIDE YOU

SICK

Eyeless Insane - Am I the only muthafucker with a brain? I'm hearing voices but all they do is complain How many times have you wanted to kill Everything and everyone - Say you'll do it but never will

You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes

I am my Father's son He's a phantom, a mystery and that leaves me NOTHING! How many times have you wanted to die? It's too late for me. All you have to do is get rid of me!

You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes

It's all in your head It's all in my head It's all in your head

I tried - You lied to me for so long Everywhere I go, there's a sense of it Freak on my antics and give me a choice Doesn't matter if I give a shit It's shit that you gave me

You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes

It's all in your head It's all in my head It's all in your head

Do you wanna feel pain? Takin' my name in vain Caring never felt so lame inside Anybody else got pride? Do you wanna take my life? Maybe I'll reverse my ride Who the hell are you? FUCK YOU! Better suck it up cuz you bled through Better get away from me Stay the fuck away from me!

I feel safe - Seems your saved

LOOK ME IN MY BRAND NEW EYE

Wait And Bleed I've felt the hate rise up in me... Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves... I wander out where you can't see... Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

Goodbye!

I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time Everything is 3D blasphemy My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up This is not the way I pictured me I CAN'T CONTROL MY SHAKES! How the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong... I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this Is it a dream or a memory?

GET OUTTA MY HEAD CUZ I DON'T NEED THIS! Why I didn't I see this? I'm a victim - Manchurian Candidate I - HAVE - SINNED - BY - JUST Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away

GOODBYE!

You haven't learned a thing I haven't changed a thing My flesh was in my bones The pain was always free

I've felt the hate rise up in me... Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves... I wander out where you can't see... Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

AND IT WAITS FOR YOU!

Surfacing Running out of ways to run I can't see, I can't be Over and over and under my skin All this attention is DOING ME IN!

FUCK IT ALL! FUCK THIS WORLD! FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR! DON'T BELONG! DON'T EXIST! DON'T GIVE ME A SHIT! DON'T EVER JUDGE ME!

Picking through the parts exposed Taking shape, taking shag Over and over and under my skin All this momentum is DOING ME IN!

FUCK IT ALL! FUCK THIS WORLD! FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR! DON'T BELONG! DON'T EXIST! DON'T GIVE A SHIT! DON'T EVER JUDGE ME!

You got all my love, livin' in your own hate Drippin' hole man, hard step, no fate Show you nuthin', but I ain't holdin' back Every damn word I say is a sneak attack When I get my hands on you Ain't a fuck thing you can do Get this cuz you're never gonna get me I am the very disease you pretend to be

It's gotta be that way if you want it Sanity, Literal Profanity HIT ME!

SPIT - IT OUT All you wanna do is drag me down All I wanna do is stamp you out

Maybe it's the way you spread a lotta rumour fodder Keepin' all your little spies and leavin' when you realise Step up, fairy I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome Straight to the dome You heard me right, bitch, I didn't stutter If you know what's good - sit, shut up and beg, brother Backstab - Don't you know who you're dissin'? Side swipe - we know THE ASS THAT YOU'RE KISSIN'! BIGIDY-BIGGIDY BITCH BOY, HALFWAY HAUSER Can't hear shit cuz I keep gettin' louder Step up, and you get a face full o' tactic Lippin' off hard, goin' home in a basket You got no pull, no power, no NUTHIN' Now you start shit? Well, ain't that somethin'? Payoffs don't protect, and you can't hide if you want But I'LL FIND YOU - Comin' up behind you!

SPIT - IT OUT All you wanna do is drag me down All I wanna do is stamp you out

'Bout time I set this record straight All the needlenose punchin' is makin' me irate Sick o' my bitchin' fallin' on deaf ears Where YOU gonna be in the next five years? The crew and all the fools, and all the politix Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick You got DICK when they passed out the good stuff Bam Are you sick of me? GOOD ENOUGH - HAD ENOUGH

Tattered And Torn Kill Me Tattered and torn Something aches Tattered and torn Bad things slither Tattered and torn My floors are burning down Tattered and torn And I can't find a window

Tattered and torn This is medieval Tattered and torn This is cerebral Tattered and torn Suffocated Tattered and torn Melodramatic

Tattered and torn Driven to the verge of Tattered and torn I make you my enemy The nerves you sever Tattered and torn Can serve you better

Tattered and torn In the blink of an eye Tattered and torn In the space of a second Tattered and torn Open my wrists Tattered and torn Give me my lessons

Tearing myself apart From the things that make me hurt!

Me Inside Giving in to what has got me Feeling claustrophobic, scarred Severed me from all emotion Life is just too fucking hard SNAP! Your face was all it took Cuz this need ain't doin' me no good Fall on my face, but can't you see? This fucking life is KILLING ME!

Tearing me / Inside

Too far gone, I'm catatonic Leaving you to criticize Empty shell and running naked All alone... lobotomized Back and forth between my hang-ups It isn't easy to be hated Where do ya go? Whaddya do? Simpleton, impromptu, crazy eight I never cared, not once Gotta get away!

Tearing me / Inside

I wasn't promised a thing YOU KEEP MOCKING ME But you will never again BEFORE YOU KNOW IT - AFTER YOU'RE GONE

I am not ashamed What is vital, isn't always humane You can break in vain But you can't break away Even in my face Lotta bullshit, not alotta the truth I can't see from here But I can smell your fear

Back off of the shit Stand off or I'll spit So soft, you forget Your garbage in is garbage out You don't give a shit I won't play the fit Get off, get on this Your garbage in is garbage out

Saved - You're such a slave - I don't expect a Name - You don't care - I wasn't witness - I can't be a part of a system such as this Hard eyes - Glow right - In my - Darkness - Again With the sickness, rengade blisters, sisters, Salivate, litigate, liberate, madness, sadness Fuck this - How long have I had this? I don't need this - Outta my business Insert, engage, betrayed, MY GOD FRAUD

Liberate - My madness (One of me, all of you) Liberate - My madness I just want to...

Prosthetics Even if you run... I will find you I decided I wanted you Now I know...I NEED If you can't be bought, tougher than I thought Keep in mind - I am with you Never left out fate, can't concentrate Even if you run...

YOU WILL BE MINE! Ah, fucking you will be mine! Ah, fucking you will be mine! Ah, fucking you will be mine!

I FOUND YOU

Leanin' out of an open window You laughed (my fingers clenched) Too perfect, far too careless I couldn't help myself - I just took you

DAMMIT MAN I KNEW IT WAS A MISTAKE (You brought it outta me)

Better make yourself at home You're here to stay You won't bother me...If you let me bother you All the doors are locked, all the windows shut KEEP IN MIND - I watch you Never leave my side, never leave me, fucker Even if you run

What the fuck is different? Man, I can't believe I'm doin' this

DAMMIT MAN I KNEW IT WAS A MISTAKE (You brought it outta me)

No Life My freedom is best Whole country's on house arrest And everyone's a suspect You can't feel the flow because you died Face down on a "suicide" The muthafucker's on self-destruct Nobody guardin' your back, it's all a front SAVE THIS! MY RAGE IS BLISS! I'M TAKIN' NAMES AND GETTIN' PISSED!

Where's Chuck D when ya need him? You ain't shit, just a puddle on the Bed spread The maniac psycho Cool j screamed the shit But I still can't believe it Man, it's funny that you scare me so Just enough to fuck me up again and again Hard life is hard as hell Better back the fuck on up Cuz this is...

No kind of life! This is no kind of life! (I've got to get out!) It's no kind of life! This is no kind of life! (You can't blame me!)

Can't be real no more - Your mask is skin and bone Savor every flavor you want cuz it's not your own Bad-ass at bat, man Forget about the battle, it's the war we gotta win Breathe! Amer-cult, Breathe! One more - Seethe! Freak like you gotta pair Won't be my fault When you're painted in the corner of a no-good life This is...

No kind of life! This is no kind of life! (I've got to get out!) It's no kind of life! This is no kind of life! (You can't blame me!)

I can't remember, I don't understand, Is it malice that makes you this way? Carry it with you 'til someone forgives you I laugh cuz there's nothing to say YOU CAN'T BEGIN TO CONSIDER THE PALPABLE HATE IN THE AIR WHEN YOU'RE HERE None of us wonder what weather you're under You're making it perfectly clear!

Lights ain't on - shit ain't right Never had peace so I had to fight Can you look in my eyes when my back's against The wall, slash at my eyes, surprise, you'll never get me You're all reality and sound bites And the freedom is never in plain sight The feelings, the question, the price is too Human, for fucking sake - This is...

No kind of life! This is no kind of life! (I've got to get out!) It's no kind of life! This is no kind of life! (You can't blame me!)

Diluted I'm cold, I'm ugly I'm always confused by everything I can stare into a thousand eyes But every smile hides a bold-faced lie

It itches, it seethes, it festers and breathes My heros are dead, they died in my head Thin out the herd, squeeze out the pain Something inside me has opened up again

Thoughts of me exemplified All the little flaws I have denied Forget today, forget whatever happened Everyday I see a little more of overall deficiencies I'm nothing short of being one complete catastrophe

What the hell - did I - do to deserve - all of this?

I save all the bullets from ignorant minds Your insults get stuck in my teeth as they grind Way past good taste, on our way to bad omens I decrease, while my symptoms increase

God what the fuck is wrong You act like you knew it all along Your timing sucks, your silence is a blessing

All I ever wanted out of you was something you could never be Now take a real good look at What you've fucking done to me

Gimme any reason why I'd need you, boy Gimme any reason not to fuck you up Gimme any reason why I'd need you, bitch Gimme any reason not to fuck you up

I see you in me

I keep my scars from prying eyes Incapable of ever knowing why Somebody breathe, I've got to have an answer

Why am I so fascinated by bigger pictures, better things But I don't care what you think You'll never understand me

Scissors I play doctor for five minutes flat Before I cut my heart open...and let the air out Three bugs, a pound of dust Some wind spilled before me In the strangest manner that had Broke away my tear spout

AS I LIE THERE WITH MY TONGUE SPREAD WIDE OPEN A BLACK WIDOW HAD OFFERED ME A SWEETHEART TUBE AS I INJECTED THE CANDIED HEART THAT I SELECTED She said don't hesitate JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!!

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin Just cuz I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway Just let the blood run red CUZ I CAN'T FEEL!

Biding my time until the time is right Biding my time until the time is right Biding my time until the time is right Biding my time... It's time

IT IS - TIME

Eyeore (hidden track) Meet the man that made me Greet the can I came from Oh the fucking sacred heart of Jesus BLEW it in the back room Feelin' like a real goon Slam the fuck aside, man I'M ON - YOU'RE NOT

I AM THE GREAT BIG MOUTH

Good riddance - though I'm sad to say I didn't get to kill you Rhetoric - Better look both ways I gotta get an arm through STAIN What the fuck is up? Get the fuck away Run if you want to Innocent? You're a guilty conscience Laugh last - break through STAIN

Prepare you fucker

I don't give a shit, bitch I don't give a fuck, bitch I don't understand, bitch You don't matter I don't give a fuck, man I don't give a shit, man I don't really care, man I'm the super sized man

IOWA

People=Shit Here we go again, motherfucker

Come on down, and see the idiot right here Too fucked to beg and not afraid to care What's the matter with calamity anyway? Right? Get the fuck outta my face Understand that I can't feel anything It isn't like I wanna sift through the decay I feel like a would, like I got a fuckin' Gun against my head, you live when I'm dead

One more time, mother fucker

Everybody hates me now, so fuck it Blood's on my face and my hands, and I Don't know why, I'm not afraid to cry But that's none of your business Whose life is it? Get it? See it? Feel it? Eat it? Spin it around so i can spit in its face I wanna leave without a trace Cuz I don't wanna diein this place

People = Shit People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?) People = Shit (Cuz I am not afraid of you) People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be) People = Shit

It never stops - you can't be everything to everyone Contagion - I'm sittin' at the side of Satan What do you want from me? They never told me the failure I was meant to be Overdo it - don't tell me you blew it Stop your bitchin' and fight your way through it I'M - NOT - LIKE - YOU - I - JUST - FUCK - UP

C'mon mother fucker, everybody has to die

People = Shit People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?) People = Shit (Cuz I am not afraid of you) People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be) People = Shit

Disasterpiece I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound I wanna push my face in and feel the swoon I wanna dig inside, find a little bit of me Cuz the line gets crossed when you don't come clean

My wormwood meets your pesticide You'll never get out, coz you were never alive I am infinite, I am the infant finite Come a little closer and I'll show you why

(NO ONE IS - SAFE) Noises, noises, people make noises people make noises when they're sick Nothing to do except hold on to NOTHING

How does it feel to be locked inside another dream That never had a chance of being realized? What the fuck are you lookin' at? I'll tell you what you're lookin' at Everyone you ever fuckin' laughed at

Look in my eyes for the answers - typical I can feel it underneath like a miracle Everybody in the world needs more than Lies and consequences to poser them Once again, it's me and no one else I can't remember if there was a someone else It's not mine, it's not fair, it's outta my hands And it's shaking - you'll never take me

(NO ONE IS - SAFE) Noises, noises, people make noises People make noises when they're sick Nothing to do except hold on to NOTHING

NOTHING!

(HATE) Hate ain't enough to describe me (SCREAM) Somewhere between screaming and crying I'm not supposed to behere I'm not supposed to be

(WHY) When do I get to know why? (BITTER) Bitter as the stink of when I try I'm not supposed to be here I'm not supposed to be

Pull your hands away I'm gone - goodbye - it's so depressing Withering away Take a look - inside - my soul is missing All I have is dead, so I'll take you with me Feel like I'm erased - so kill me just in case

(COVET) Everything around me's mine (STY) Can't see through the sties in my eyes I'm not supposed to be here I'm not supposed to be

(DOWN) Scratching and clawing all the way (STAY) You won't let me fucking stay I'm not supposed to be here I'm not supposed to be

(LIVE) Is there another way to live? (DIE) Cuz it's the only way to die I'm not supposed to be here I'm not supposed to be

My Plague I'm in conniptions for the final act you came here for The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor I need a minute to elaborate for everyone the Everyday bullshit things that you have done

Your impossible ego fuck is like a Megalomaniacal tab on my tongue You fuckin' touch me I will rip you apart I'll reach in and take a bite out of that Shit you call a heart...

I don't mind being ogled, ridiculed Made to feel miniscule If you consider the source, it's kinda pitiful The only thing you really know about me is... ...that's all you'll ever know

I know why you blame me (yourself) I know why you plague me (yourself)

I'm turning it around like a knife in the shell I wanna understand why, but I'm hurting myself I haven't seen a lotta reasons to stop it I can't just drop it I'm just a bastard, but at least I admit it At least I admit it

I know why you blame me (yourself) I know why you plague me (yourself)

Kill you - fuck you - I will never be you Kill you - fuck you - I will never be you I can't fuckin' take it anymore A snap of the synapse And now it's fuckin' war Kill you - fuck you - I will never be you

Everything Ends You are wrong, fucked, and overrated I think I'm gonna be sick and it's your fault This is the end of EVERYTHING You are the end of EVERYTHING I haven't slept since I woke up And found my whole life was a lie, motherfucker This is the end of EVERYTHING You are the end of EVERYTHING

Shallow skin, I can paint with pain I mark the trails on my arms with your disdain Everyday it's the same - I LOVE, YOU HATE But I guess I don't care any more... Fix my problems with the blade While my eyes turn from blue to gray God, the worst thing happened to me today But I guess I don't care anymore...

You are wrong, fucked, and overrated I think I'm gonna be sick and it's your fault This is the end of EVERYTHING You are the end of EVERYTHING I haven't slept cince I woke up And found my whole life was a lie, motherfucker This is the end of EVERYTHING You are the end of EVERYTHING

My flaws are the only thing left that's pure Can't really live, can't really endure Everything I see reminds me of her God I wish I didn't care anymore The more I touch, the less I feel I'm lying to myself that it's not real Why is everybody making such a big fucking deal? I'm never gonna care anymore

What the hell am I doing? Is there anyone left in my life? What the fuck was I thinking? Anybody want to tell me I'm fine? Where the hell am I going? Do I even need a reason to hide? I am only betrayed I am only conditioned to die

The Heretic Anthem I'm a pop star threat and I'm not dead yet Got a super dred bet with an angel drug head Like a dead beat winner, I want to be a sinner An idolized bang for the industry killer A hideous man that you don't understand Throw a suicide party and I'm guaranted to fucking snap It's evilsonic, it's pornoholic Breakdowns, obscenities, it's all I wanna be

If you're 555, then I'm 666 If you're 555, I'm 666 (What's it like to be a heretic?)

Everybody's so infatuated Everybody's so completely sure of what we are Everybody defamates from miles away But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say I bleed for this and I bleed for you Still you look in my face like I'm somebody new TOY - nobody wants anything I've got Which is fine, because you're made of Everything - I'm - NOT

If you're 555, then I'm 666 If you're 555, I'm 666 (What's it like to be a heretic?)

30 seconds, 16, 8, 4, lemme tell you why I haven't the slightest, I'm teaching your brightest They're listening, clamoring All the money in the world can't buy me GO AHEAD, LIE TO ME Tell me again how you're tortured I wanna know how you followed your orders so well You're full of SHIT You had a dream, but this ain't it

IIf you're 555, then I'm 666 If you're 555, I'm 666 (What's it like to be a heretic?)

Gently " Gently, my mind escapes into the relaxing world of pleasure, a pleasure that'll take my mind off the reality of my life, my past life... life as I know it now.

And whatever may come, it slowly disappears to somewhere in the back of my mind. It will remain there, until I wish to retrieve it.

Yes, I will stay here for a while, for I need the break. A break from the pressures of life, and everything that lays in the palm of life's hands.

This mode is incredible. It's out of this world. Too bad I must always leave it... ... but that's life.

Left Behind I've known faces that have disappeared in time Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime All my friends have pictures made to make you cry I've seen this and wondered what I've done to Calcify...

(I ignore you) As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away (I come toward you) We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face Don't even try it! You had be a liar just to Infiltrate me - I'm still drowning

(I ignore you) As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away (I come toward you) We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

Take...this...away... I can feel it on my mouth I can taste you on my fingers I can hear you like the holy ghost And kill you if you get too close !

The Shape Too tragic to stay with you Too static to try for you These scars, they swallow hard The part of the past that's hollow and dark Too horrid to kill for you Too sordid to die with you Unstable as always, come down Everything else is just dust and sound

SEPARATE (I've lost my only way) SEPARATE (I've lost my only way) SEPARATE (I've lost my only way) SEE THE SHAPE (Broken and thrown away)

I'd give it all away, come take it all away You can't resent the fear Somebody tell me how I got here I'd give it all to you, come take it, it's all for you The noise is so damn loud, but Everything else is just dust and sound

I don't wanna do this anymore Everything's shit - everything's been taken Forsaken - gotta start it over cuz I'm hearing it Backwards - DON'T make sense - DON'T feel better Who's better? It's not that simple You gotta figure it out before you make things difficult It's not a word, it's a problem, the problem was easy Draw your conclusions - solutions? Anybody else wanna run? Contorting, distorting - I am undone One less propaganda nightmare fixture Are you getting the picture?

I Am Hated The whole world is my enemy - and I'm a walking target Two times the devil with all the significance Dragged and raped for the love of a mob I can't stay - because I can't be stopped Eat motherfuckers alive who cross us I know you're all tired of the same ol' bosses Let me tell you how it's gonna be I'm gonna kill anyone who steps up in front of me

Welcome to the same ol' fucking scam Same ol' shit in a dead fad

Everybody wants to be so hard Are you real or a second rate sports card? They all lost their dad or their wife just died They never got to go outside - SHUT UP Nobody gives a fuck it doesn't change the fact that you suck

(We are) The anti-cancer (We are) The only answer Stripped down, we want you dead But what's inside of me, you'll never know (We are) Bipolar gods (We are) You know what we are My life was always shit And I don't think I need this anymore

Now I'm not pretty and I'm not cool But I'm fat and I'm ugly and proud - so fuck you Standing out is the new pretension Sreamline the (sic)ness, half-assed aggression You gotta see it to believe it, we all got conned All the mediocre sacred cows we spawned Put your trust in the mission We will not repent - this is our religion

(We are) The anti-cancer (We are) The only answer Stripped down, we want you dead But waht's inside of me, you'll never know (We are) Bipolar gods (We are) You know what we are My life was always shit And I don't think I need this anymore

I AM HATED YOU ARE HATED WE ARE HATED

Everything sucks and I can prove it Everybody dies, shuffle on, remove it Idividuals, indispensable I'm the paradox deity vessel ...the other side holds no secret But this side is done, I don't need it Before you go, you should know you're breaking down You'll be rotten by the time you're underground

(We are) The anti-cancer (We are) The only answer Stripped down, we want you dead But what's inside of me, you'll never know (We are) Bipolar gods (We are) You know what we are My life was always shit And I don't think I need this anymore

(We Are) The source of conscience (We Are) Distorted sentients There's only one thing left And I can't leave until it's sated (We Are) The absolute (We Are) Controlling you They're closing in, I can't escape I AM HATED

Skin Ticket Zero and zero is nothing but zero Cancer and people conspire together Running and running and going forever Collected and sampled, starving for zero

Come see my cage - built in my grain

Minus the inside and minus the circle Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel Wherein and herein, between us and near us Zero and zero is nothing but zero

Come see my cage - built-in migraine

Keeping myself alive... through your EMPATHY

New Abortion I'm ethereal, my children are legion, serial They stick to my skin like beloved cysts I tear away with my nails and teeth and fists Touch the hands of inverted saints Follow my heart through the threaded pain Callow man is a sentinel screaming I see the future; the future is bleeding

Sores, every goddamn minute I can feel 'em now Like a virus, you will never kill me now Goin' underground, comin' on like hepatitis We're out - and you can't reshape us Another bug in the construct Tearin' up the main bus B Zeros and ones are everything - execute me

Everywhere you look, it's like they know Their fingerprints are hidden by CONTROL This is where the line is drawn, see YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL AWAY FROM ME

What do you need to see? Ya feel the impact? Gotta retract - everybody get back What is this? It's like a big conspiracy Fields of dejected morbid progeny They always say that it's always our fault But everything we say is taken with a grain of salt Man, it's always the same, if we talk or complain We only wanna upset the balance How's it feel to be the New Abortioin? The only generation to suffer extortion

Everywhere you look, it's like they know Their fingerprints are hidden by CONTROL This is where the line is drawn, see YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL AWAY FROM ME

YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL AWAY FROM ME

Metabollic Gone - I couldn't murder your promise Right before my eyes The revolutions of my psychosis Kept me outta the way

Once - inside - all I hold is ash...

Fail - suppressing every feeling I'm in so much pain I have every fuckin' right to hate you I can't take it!

The hardest part was knowing that I could never be you Now all I do is sit around and wish I could forget you

My demise - I took a life worth living and Made it worth a mockery I deny - I fold, but they keep on coming (Stop) I'm always ready to die But you're killing me

Who are you to me? Who am I to you? Is this a lesson in nepotistic negligence? By default, you are my only link to the outside Psychosomatic suicide Where were you when I was down? Can you show me a way... To face everyday with this face - goodbye

My demise - I took a life worth living and Made it worth a mockery I deny - I fold, but they keep on coming (Stop) I'm always ready to die But you're killing me

When I blur my eyes, they make the whole World breath - I see you fucking me And I am absolutely controlly every urge To mutilate - the one and only answer So much for memories... I wanna derss in your insecurities And be the perfect you - I'm through I'm out-stretched out for all to loathe Here we go - the ultimate irony

Iowa Relax... it's over, you belong to me I fill your mouth with dirt Relax... it's over, you can never leave I take your second digit with me... Love... You are... my first, I can barely breathe I find you fascinating You are... my favorite, lay you down to sleep It's all that I can do to stop... Love... So blue... so broken, paper doll decays I haven't left you yet So cold... subversive, your eyes are full of bleach Tomorrow, I will go away again... Love... YOU ARE MINE, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MINE I CAN TEAR YOU APART I CAN RECOMBINE YOU ALL I WANT IS TO COVET YOU ALL YOU BELONG TO ME I WILL KILL YOU TO LOVE YOU. (love)

Subliminal Verses

Prelude 3.0 I don't know why I never told you I don't know why I never tried When we shed these bitter skins again All the reasons come to life

But now it's over...

I don't know why you never asked me I don't know why you never cared When we hide these little sins again All the reasons have to die

But now it's over...

No!

The Blister Exists Bones in the water and dust in my lungs Absorbing archaic like a sponge The ultimate way is the way you control But can you stay if you detach your soul? Bury the present and squeeze out the past The ones you endear to never last Chemical burns and the animalistic I'm just another hardline pseudo-statistic

Can you feel this? I'm dying to feel this Can you feel this?

Blood on the paper and skin on my teeth Trying to commit to what's beneath To find the time is to lose the momentum You learn the lessons and immediately forget them Automatic and out of my reach Consult all the waste to find the key Minimal life and the polysyllabic I'm just another blank page - push the button, pull the rage

Can you feel this? I'm dying to feel this Can you feel this?

I am all, but what am I? Another number that isn't equal to any of you I control, but I comply Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces I'm uneven

I am the damaged one All my life and the damage done

Can you feel this? I'm dying to feel this Can you feel this?

I am all, but what am I? Another number that isn't equal to any of you I control, but I comply Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces I'm uneven

Three Nil Chaos - it's just the beginning Every promise I made I'm rescinding Center mass in the middle of the monster I'm getting tired of drowning the constant cry for help - it's debatable The only reason that you love me is I'm hated by all Come on - Come see dysfunction I guess we're gonna leave it open for discussion

Who am I? And where am I going? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction Maybe I'm looking for any direction This is not my war - This is not my fight This is something more - This is not my life (This is not my) Revolution (This is not my) Convolution (This is not my) Expectation (This is not my) Desperation

Holed up, scarred and tamed for the hell of it Look at me - I'm the glorified malcontent Save me? Save this! All I gotta do is give up and all is forgiven I'm sick - Of being the butt of a cosmic joke And I don't get the punch line A million people lined up for miles To see the Great Big Mouth shut up and apologize

This is not my war - This is not my fight This is something more - This is not my life (This is not my) Revolution (This is not my) Convolution (This is not my) Only reason to question why Today, I said goodbye!

Goodbye! Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today I said goodbye!

I am the pariah (break me) I am the liar (save me) I can take anything (make me) Accuse me of everything (take me) Cut off the system (shape me) Deny my existence (waste me) I won't be afraid (try me) I won't be unmade (deny me)

So come on - break it off Come on - buy the lie Come on - say it, say it Come on

Say goodbye!

Goodbye! Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today I said goodbye! Goodbye! Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here Today I said goodbye!

Duality I push my fingers into my eyes It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache But it's made of all the things I have to take Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside If the pain goes on...

I have screamed until my veins collapsed I've waited as my time's elapsed Now all I do is live with so much fate I've wished for this, I've bitched at that I've left behind this little fact You cannot kill what you did not create

I've gotta say what I've gotta say And then I swear I'll go away But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise I guess I'll save the best for last My future seems like one big past You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice

(I push my fingers into my) eyes It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it!

Put me back together or separate the skin from bone Leave me all the pieces, then you can leave me alone Tell me the reality is better than the dream But I found out the hard way - nothing is what it seems

(I push my fingers into my) eyes It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache But it's made of all the things I have to take Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got - all I've got is insane

(I push my fingers into my) eyes It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache But it's made of all the things I have to take Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got - all I've got is insane

The Opium of the People Watch those idiosyncrasies Watch all the idiots fall on me Getting out of ways to get outta the way Take another shot just to stay the same But I need some balance - Back it off Fill your lungs 'til it makes you cough Tell me everything's gonna be alright 'Cause I don't think I'll make it through tonight

The only way - Is all the way

Oh - my - God It's judgement day and I'm not prepared Everybody out there's running scared So - Take a little bit off the top I don't care, just make it stop

I won't give another soul... to you I won't give another life... to you You have to stop Stop!

Do one thing and say something cryptic But the styles always clash One thing I know for sure The hypothetical won't work anymore One wrong move and they will pound! My nails are tight inside my wrists This sacrament is sacrilege and sentimental Deity experimental - Faith is accidental

I won't give another soul... to you I won't give another life... to you I won't give another thought... to you I won't give anymore of my hope... to you

Circle Give me the dust of my fathers Stand on the face of the ancients Bare the secret flesh of time itself

Follow me... I've come so far, I'm behind again Follow me... I Wish so hard, I'm there again Follow me...

All that I wanted were things I had before All that I needed, I never needed more All of my questions are answers to my sins And all of my endings are waiting to begin

I know the way, but I faulter I can't be afraid of my patience There's a sacred place Razel keeps safe

Follow me... I've seen so much I'm blind again Follow me... I feel so bad I'm alive again Follow me...

All that I wanted were things I had before All that I needed, I never needed more All of my questions are answers to my sins And all of my endings are waiting to begin

Welcome I am a product - of your conduct The uncontrollable urges that made me Have made us all - Are you proud? Do you even care? You taught us all to lie - that's how we made it here You should've buried the truth with your secrets But you were far to impressed with your pretense Now as far as I know, I don't know anything 'Cause you made damn sure I wasn't anything

Distractions, reactions The only way to go is to go away Discarded, retarded Before I let you go, you have to let me

Clawed away from human clay We are the broken shards, the art disarray Before you condemn, you rape them, feed us meconium Stunt our growth from our souls to our throats - cut! You shouldn't wall us up with your apathy But you did - now you're only growing enemies This is the catalyst, the alpha, the first breed 'Cause you made damn sure - Now we're everything

Distractions, reactions The only way to go is to go away Discarded, retarded Before I let you go, you have to let me

Much to my surprise, I will wake up And follow the path of the ones I am made of But this time... I won't give in I will save you from my sins

Ensconced... in all that's wrong I slam you shut... I can only take so much How many times do I have to mistreat you? Constantly biting my hand as I feed you Maybe now you'll understand severity I'll sum it up with the best amount of brevety

Welcome to the transformation Welcome to annihilation Welcome to the man that wanted everything but couldn't have it!

Distractions, reactions The only way to go is to go away Discarded, retarded Before I let you go, you have to let me

Much to my surprise, I will wake up And follow the path of the ones I am made of But this time... I won't give in I will save you from my sins

Vermilion She seems dressed in all the rings... of past fatalities So fragile, yet so devious - she continues to see climatic hands that press her temples and my chest Enter the night that she came home - forever

Oh...

She is everything and more, the solemn hypnotic My dahlia, bathed in possesion - she is home to me I get nervous, perverse, when I see her, it's worse But the stress is astounding It's now or never, she's coming home - forever

Oh... She's the only one that makes me sad

Hard to say what caught my attention Fixed and crazy - aphid attraction Carve my name in my face - to recognize Such a pheromone cult to terrorize

I won't let this build up inside of me...

I'm a slave and I am a master No restraints and unchecked collectors I exist to my need - to self-oblige She is something in me - that I despise

I won't let this build up inside of me...

She isn't real - I can't make her real

Pulse of the Maggots I fight for the unconventional My right and it's unconditional I can only be as real as i can The disadvantage is I never knew the plan this isn't just a way to be a martyr I can't walk alone any longer I fight for the ones who can't fight and if I lose, at least I tried!

We are the new diabolic We are the bitter bucolic If I have to give my life, you can have it We are the pulse of the maggots

I won't be the inconsequential I won't be the wasted potential I can make it as severe as I can Until you realize, you'll never take a stand It isn't just a one-sided version We've dealt with a manic subversion I won't let the truth be perverted And I won't leave another victim deserted

We are the new diabolic We are the bitter bucolic If I have to give my life, you can have it We are the pulse of the maggots

(Do you understand?) Yes

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

We fight 'til no one can fight us We live and no one can stop us We pull when we're pushed too far And the advantage is, the bottom line is We never had to fight in the first place We only had to spit back in their face We won't walk alone any longer What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger

We are the new diabolic We are the bitter bucolic If I have to give my life, you can have it We are the pulse of the maggots

(Do you understand?) Yes

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Before I Forget Stapled shut - Inside an outside world And I'm sealed in tight - Bizarre but right at home I'm claustrophobic - Closing in And I'm catastrophic - Not again I'm smeared across the page and doused in gasoline I wear you like a stain, yet I'm the one who's obscene

Catch me up in all your sordid little insurrections I've got no time to lose - I'm just caught up in all the cattle

Fray the strings... Throw the shapes... Hold your breath... Listen

I am a world before I am a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget Before I forget that

I'm ripped across the ditch and settled in the dirt And I wear you like a stitch, yet I'm the one who's hurt Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions I've got no right to win - I'm just caught up in all the battles

Locked in clutch... Pushed in place... Hold your breath... Listen

I am a world before I am a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget Before I forget that

My end, it justifies my means All I ever do is delay My every attempt to evade The end of the road and my end It justifies my means All I ever do is delay My every attempt to evade The end of the road

I am a world before I am a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget Before I forget that

Vermilion Part 2 She seemed dressed in all of me Stretched across my shame All the torment and the pain Leaked through and covered me I'd do anything to have her to myself Just to have her for myself Now I don't know what to do I don't know what to do When she makes me sad

She is everything to me The unrequited dream A song that no one sings The unattainable She's a myth that I have to believe in All I need to make it real is one more reason

I don't know what to do I don't know what to do When she makes me sad

But I won't let this build up inside of me

I catch in my throat Choke Torn into pieces I won't - no I don't wanna be this

But I won't let this build up inside of me

She isn't real I can't make her real

You're mine (I KNOW WHO YOU ARE)

The Virus of Life I can see you but you can't see me I could touch you and you wouldn't even feel me Wait a second and you'll settle down I'm just waiting 'til you really let your guard down You're relaxed, you're sublime, you're amazing You don't even know the danger that you're facing If I'm quiet, I'll slide up behind you And if you hear me, I'll enjoy trying to find you

I've been with you all day I'm trying to stay calm I'm impatient and it's really hard to breathe I'm going to empty you and fill you in with me Just keep the violence down Not yet - don't make a sound Oh, God I'm feeling it it's reaching fever pitch My skin is caving in My heart is driving out No mercy, no remorse Let nature take it's course

Watching - bring me to my knees Waiting - I am your disease Lover - Set my symptom free Covered - You won't feel a thing You can't stop me

I'm sweating through my veins I'm trying to hold on It's unbearable, it's almost worse for me I'm gonna tear you apart and make you see - make you see

Watching - bring me to my knees Waiting - I am your disease Lover - Set my symptom free Covered - You won't feel a thing You can't stop me

This is the virus, the virus of life This is inside us, the crisis, the knife This is the virus, the virus of life This is inside us, the crisis, the knife

It's almost time to play/it's time to be afraid I can't control the pain/I can't control in vain Oh God, I'm ready now/you're almost ready now I'm gonna love you now/I'm gonna put you down I see you in the dark/I see you all the way I see you in the light/I see you plain as day I wanna touch your face/I wanna touch your soul I wanna wear your face/I wanna burn your soul

Watching - bring me to my knees Waiting - I am your disease Lover - Set my symptom free Covered - You won't feel a thing You can't stop me

This is the virus, the virus of life

Danger, Keep Away We too feel alone

That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine

Where have I been all this time? Lost, enslaved, fatal decline. I've bee waiting for this to fold, but But pieces are only as good as the whole! I sever myself from my whole life, I cut out the only thing that was right! What if I never saw you again? I'd die right next to you in the end.

That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine That place in my mind Is that space that you call mine

I wont let you walk away Without hearing what I have to say Without hearing what I have to say Without hearing what I have to say
