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 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 over 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? 

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

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 

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

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 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 

I am the push that makes you move 
 
 

Spit it Out 
 
Since you never gave a damn in the first place 
Maybe it's time you had the tables turned 
Cuz in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved 
And the verdict is guilty... 

...Man nearly killed me 
Steppin' where you fear to tread 
Stop, drop and roll - you were dead from the git-go!! 
Big mouth fucker, stupid cocksucker! 
Are you scared of me now? Then you're dumber than I thought 
Always is, never was 
Foundation made of piss and vinegar 
Step to me, I'll smear ya - Think I fear ya? bullshit! 
Just another dumb punk chompin' at this tit 
Is there any way to break through the noise? 
Was it something that I said that got you bent? 
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 that 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 - bigidy bitch boy, halfwat 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 

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies! 
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemas! 

Spit it out 
All you wanna do is drag me down 
All I wanna do is stamp you out 
 
 

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! 
 
 

Frail Limb Nursery 
 
She lay as though she were in a trance, 
With her long eyelashes fluttering like she was dreaming. 
She said to him "I lie beyond the sea", 
And then all of a sudden her head dipped back and she vanished. 

Gone, gone without a trace. 
Gone. 

She's never coming back, do you know what it's like to live with that? 
No one knows what it's like. 
The only one who knew me, gone."
 
 

Purity 
 
Maze...psychopathic daze...I create this waste 
Back away from tangents, on the verge of drastic 
ways...can't escape this place...I deny your face 
Sweat gets in my eyes, I think I'm slowly dying 

Put me in a homemade cellar 
Put me in a hole for shelter 
Someone hear me please, all I see is hate 
I can hardly breathe, and I can hardly take it 

HANDSONMYFACEOVERBEARINGICAN'TGETOUT 

Lost...ran at my own cost...hearing laughter, scoffed 
Learning from the rush, detached from such and such 
Bleak...all around me, weak...listening, incomplete 
I am not a dog, but I'm the one your dogging 

I am in a buried kennel 
I have never felt so final 
Someone find me please, losing all reserve 
I am fucking gone, I think I'm fucking dying 

You all stare, but you'll never see 
There is something inside me 
There is something in you I despise 

Cut me - show me - enter - I am 
willing and able and never any danger to myself 
Knowledge in my pain, knowledge in my pain 
Or was my tolerance a phase? 
Empathy, out of my way 
I can't die 

Purity

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

Section off myself 
Put a wall up/What the hell have I done 
Keep the dog at bay 
Survive by saving me! 
Values and the game 
Not a fuck-up - Not a part of your lie 
I am one, I am all - I'm above and beyond! 

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 

Liberate my madness... 

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

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 

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 out 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! On 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 

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

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 

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

Fuck! 
 
 

Only One 
 
Pain - made to order 

I'm not the second coming, I'm the first wave 
Better get an army, cuz the fire left me unscathed 
You betcha bottom dollar I'm the top of the shit pile 
So stick around cuz I'll get to you in just a few 
Step off the achtung, get back or get stung 
Idiotic sense of yourself, are you that dumb? 
Entire legion of me, totalitarian 
The one and only muthafucka, top of the world man 

Cuz I can't stand it, planned it, gonna crash land it 
In other words, consider me branded 
Another version of me, another version of you 
Both barrels - what you gonna do? 

All I hear is human noise 
You made your own fuckin' choice 
I belong to only me 
Silence for my revelry 

I can over die over time 
Filthy hands, stay away from mine 
Every reason is a right to hate 
Painful clutch - death is fine, gimme mine 

Only one of us walks away 

Somebody explain this 
You don't care cuz you don't exist 
What the fuck is this another joke? 
Reckoning! 
 
 

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 here 
With my tongue spread wide open 
A black widow had offered me 
A sweatheart tube 
As I injected 
The candid 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 that 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 shit, man 
I don't give a fuck, man 
I don't really care, man 
I'm the super sized man
