SLIPKNOT, Requiem

We were ready for anything



Everyone knows some pain,

I see the loss every time someone says your name,

When you know someone who shines hard

A soul of the age who doesn't care

who the fuck you are

You had a friend, a brother who was everything

But he had to go away....that was yesterday

I've lost a lot of people in my time

The good, the bad, the unreal,

and the ones who shine

So I know you all understand

When I say that until they left

We were ready for anything...but this



(chorus)



You are not gone

We keep you here inside us

You are not gone

We know you're still beside us

You are not gone

We have this light you gave to us



Mikey and Tumor verse:

Now it's time to, lay to rest our friend

And through these songs

His memory will never fucking end

We will see that

Through this loss we'll shed some light on you

Until the day you left us



We were ready for anything...but this



(chorus)



Why'd you have to go? We never had a chance

I can't believe it so I won't admit it

Life ain't shit without you in it



(chorus)



Everybody says the light that shines the brightest

burns out fast

But what they never say is

all the light they give us lasts

We hold the memories and cherish

everyday we had

But we would give it up in a second

just to have you

Back!!

SLIPKNOT, Welcome

I am a product of your conduct
The uncontrollable urges that made me a menace
Are you proud, do you even care?
You taught us all to lie that's how we made it here

You should have buried the truth with your secrets
But you were far too 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 awayDiscarded, 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

{What is wrong with this manipulation?}
{Violent and chaotic}

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 brevity

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
I will save you from my sins, I will save you from my sins

SLIPKNOT,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

SLIPKNOT,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 meant 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 towards you
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
I ignore you
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
I come towards you
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face
I don't even try it you have to 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 towards you
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
I ignore you
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
I come towards you
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

Take this 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

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

We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away
Slip away, slip away, slip away

SLIPKNOT, 'Til We Die

My friends are all hurting
From moments and regrets
And charity laced with a lie
And still we keep hoping
To fix all the defects
And strengthen these seminal ties

We go on together for better or worse
Our history is too real to hate
Now and forever, we stay until morning
And promise to fight for our fates

'Til we die
'Til we die

The start of the journey is every bit worth it
I cant let you down anymore
The sky is still clearing, we're never afraid
And the consequence opens the door

I never stopped trying, I've never stopped feeling
Like family is much more than blood
Don't go on without me
The piece that I represent compliments
Each and everyone

'Til we die
'Til we die
We won't be forgotten
We'll never give in
This war we've achieved
Has allowed us to win

'Til we die
'Til we die

My last true confession will open your eyes
I've never known trust like the 9
Let it be spoken, let it be screamed
They'll never, ever take us alive

'Til we die
'Til we die
We won't be forgotten
We'll never give in
This war we've achieved
Has allowed us to win

Carry on
Carry on

We'll never be broken, we won't be denied
Our war is the pressure, we need to unite
We'll never be broken, we won't be denied
Our war is the pressure, we need to unite

'Til we die
'Til we die
We won't be forgotten
We'll never give in
This war we've achieved
Has allowed us to win

Carry on
Carry on
We'll never be broken
We won't be denied
Our war is the pressure
We need to unite

'Til we die
'Til we die
'Til we die
'Til we die

We won't be forgotten
We'll never give in
This war we've achieved
Has allowed us to win

'Til we die
'Til we die
We'll never be broken
We won't be denied
Our war is the pressure
We need to unite

SLIPKNOT, Scream

Scream

Fell forth, destroy the source
I can't see and my voice is hoarse
Trying to wash your hands off us?
You should know better than to leave us in disgust

Let me take you right to the point
All you ever do is in a cage of disjoint
That does it the time has arrived
Take it or leave it you better not side

You did it again
All you ever did was doubt
What do you want?
Let me tell you what it's all about
One life, nine hearts
And eighteen hands that'll rip you all apart

We're here to decimate
To show you all we will never fall
It's gonna get serious and critical
Don't stop because the feeling is terminal

Scream, scream like you never have before
Scream, scream till you can't scream anymore
Scream, scream like your throat is bleeding
Scream, scream till your heart stops beating
Scream for me

Get off of me and get away
Show the whole damn world this will never die
No matter how the energies scatter
Got to know nothing exists but the dream

Give it all 'til there's nothing left to give
Save it all, quit saving you
If you're going to let the pain inside
Never underestimate the way you live your life

Scream, scream like you never have before
Scream, scream till you can't scream anymore
Scream, scream like your throat is bleeding
Scream, scream till your heart stops beating
Scream for me

All our lives, all we ever sacrificed has paid
Everything, everything is possible to me
Why no fate? Found everything that I had to take away
Save your life, save it all that mean something to me

All our lives, all we ever sacrificed has paid
Everything, everything is possible to me
Why no fight? Found everything that I had to take away
Save your life, save it all and make a better way

Yeah

This stress is a feeling that you can't compress
Everything your going through is total stress
Are you going to be a momentary, came to run around?
How will you handle the matter and prove you exist?

All our lives, all we ever sacrificed has paid
Everything, everything is possible to me
Why no fight? Found everything that I had to take away
Save your life, save it all and make a better way

All our lives, all we ever sacrificed has paid
Everything, everything is possible to me
Why no fight? Found everything that I had to take away
Save your life, save it all and make a better way

Scream, scream, scream, scream
Scream, scream, scream, yeah

SLIPKNOT, Disasterpiece

Nobody stop me

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
'Cause the line gets crossed when you don't come clean

My wormwood meets your pesticide
You'll never get out, 'cause 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

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 power 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

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, nothing

Come on

Hate, hate ain't enough to describe me
Scream, somewhere between screaming and crying
I'm not supposed to be here, 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, no

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
I feel like I'm erased so kill me just in case
I feel like I'm erased so kill me just in case
Don't kill me, drop it guys

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, 'cause it's the only way to die
I'm not supposed to be here, I'm not supposed to be, come on

No, no, no

No, I'm not supposed to be here, I'm not supposed to be
I'm not supposed to be here, I'm not supposed to be

SLIPKNOT,Get This

I don't like a fuckin' thing, music sucks dick
Suck the snot end off the tip of my prick
You fuckin' cunts, get up off of my back
I don't wanna do a show with your shitty fuckin' band

You suck, they suck, guess what, get fucked
I can't think of any other words to say but fuck
Don't drag our opinions, our opinions are great
It's new school face motherfuckers I hate

Local bands, suck these nuts
U.S. bands, suck these nuts
Worldwide bands, suck these nuts
All you bands can suck these fuckin' nuts, go

Don't berate me 'cause you can't stop me

It's hate motherfucker, hate, motherfucker, hate

Local bands, suck these nuts
U.S. bands, suck these nuts
Worldwide bands, suck these nuts
All you bands can suck these fuckin' nuts, go

Life's so shitty but ain't it fuckin' great?
Life's so shitty but ain't it fuckin' great?
Life's so shitty but ain't it fuckin' great?
Life's so shitty but ain't it fuckin' great?

All you bands can suck these fuckin' nuts, go

SLIPKNOT, Dead Memories

Sitting in the dark, I can't forget
Even now, I realize the time I'll never get
Another story of the bitter pills of fate
I can't go back again, I can't go back again

But you asked me to love you and I did
Traded my emotions for a contract to commit
And when I got away I only got so far
The other me is dead, I hear his voice inside my head

And we were never alive and we won't be born again
But I'll never survive with dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart

You told me to love you and I did
Tied my soul into a knot and got me to submit
So when I got away I only kept my scars
The other me is gone now I don't know where I belong

And we were never alive and we won't be born again
But I'll never survive with dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart

Dead visions in your name
Dead fingers in my veins

Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart

SLIPKNOT, Before I Forget

Go

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

Fray the strings
Through the sheathes
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 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

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 is my end

It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
I haven't time 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

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 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

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh

SLIPKNOT, Blackheart

all the pieces of the puzzle seem to fall into place
but the only thought that i could think was pissin in that fuckin face
the taste that you left in my mouth was rotten
and you think that all the shit you did to me could be forgotten

well fuck no
you both got me last time
next time i see your punk ass is mine
from behind dawg i'm gonna crack that skull
then i'm gonna laugh when you fall cause you fucked me raw

comin home late at night when your sneakin in the door
with a bottle half empty and your tank is on full
you hurt me
and i will never forget
how you hurt me
and all the pain you caused
left my mind blank and my soul was lost
and now the thoughts are in my head and drifting side to side
you know i'm gonna get cause there is nowhere to hide
headlines will read on the night she died

-2x-
trust me
i will get your ass back
if it kills me
for the rest of your life you will feel me
i'm gonna make you remember that you
hurt me
you fuckin hurt me

hurt me; hurt me; hurt me; hurt me
my head was fucked up; hurt me
when i was locked up: hurt me
made a phone call; hurt me
bitch put a block up; hurt me
on the phone letters to your home
but you never wrote me back
what the fucks up with that
one of these days i'm gonna get you bitch
find your body
in a valley
in the alley
in a ditch
with a 45 chrome to the back of your dome
havin everybody wonderin what the fuck is goin on
where the fuck did you go
never be back again
but i still keep thinkin about you now and then

-2x-
trust me
i will get your ass back
if it kills me
for the rest of your life you will feel me
gonna make you remember that you
hurt me
you fuckin hurt me

i remember when i first said i love you
i got confused from the first time i fucked you
and you got nervous when i opened up your legs relax
cause i was raised on x-rated moves and porno mags

all day walk around with a full buzz
never fully understood what our love was
l-25 straight brought the light
same time had to dip outa town for a few nights

came back and my road dawgs waitin
tellin me some shit leavin me contemplaitin

murder

fuckin my best friend

unheard of

and i'm gonna get you in the end yeah
one of these days it'll be my time

Hurt me,
Hurt me,
