Slipknot - Vol 3 Subliminal Verses 2004

---

Prelude 3.0

I don't know why, I never told you
I don't know why, I never tried
Well we shared these bits of skins again (skins again)
All the reasons come to life

And now it's over
And now it's over
And now it's over
And 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 (sins again)
All the reasons have to die

But now it's over.


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 feels 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 damaged done.

Can you feel this?
I'm dying to feel this
Can you feel this?
I'm dying to 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, is just the beginning
Every promise I made I'm ascending
Stab the knives in the middle of the monster
I'm getting tired of drowning in concern
Crying for help
Isn't paid in full
The only reason that you love me is
I'm hated by all
Come on, come see destruction
I guess we're gunna leave it
Open for discussion
Who am I?
Where am I going?
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction
Maybe I'm looking for any direction

This is not my world
This is not my fate
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

Rolled up thoughts and dig for the hell of it
Look at me, I am the glorified mahlcotect
Save me, save this
All I got to do is give up
And I always fuck giving up
I've been the plot of a cosmic joke
And I don't get the punchline
A million people lined up for miles
To see the great big nil
Shut up and apologize.

This is not my world
This is not my fate
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 say goodbye, goodbye.
Oh I didn't need to leave
to stay right here
Today I say goodbye, goodbye.
Oh I didn't need to leave
To stay right here
Today I say goodbye, goodbye.

I'm the parade (Break Me)
I am no like (Save Me)
I can't take anything (Make Me)
Accuse me of everything (Kill Me)
Cut off the system (Slay Me)
Deny my existance (Rake Me)
I won't be afraid (Try Me)
I won't be unmade (Take Me!)
Come on, break it all
Come on, nuy 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 say goodbye, goodbye.
Oh I didn't need to leave
To stay right here
Today I say goodbye, goodbye.

One (One)

Duality

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 am today...
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside...
If the pain goes on...
Aaaaaaah!

I have screamed until my veins collapsed,
I've waited last, 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 words
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You'll live 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!

Pull me back together,
Or seperate the skin from bone
Leave me all the pieces, and then you can leave me alone
Tell me the reality is better than dream
But I found out the hard way, v 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 am today
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...
All I've got...all I've got is insane...
All I've got...all I've got is insane!
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 am today
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!


The Opium Of The People

One two three Your secresies
Watch how the idiots follow me
Running any way to get out of the way
Dig into the shock 'casue I'm staying the same
But I need some vowels, back it up
Fill your loves in amazing hearts
Tell me everythings gunna be alright
'Cause I don't think I'll make it throught the night

The only way
Is all the way
The only way
Is all the way
The only way (The only way)
Is all the way (Is all the way)
The only way (The only way)
Is all the way (Is all the way)

Oh, my, god it's
Times like these I'm not the best
Everybody out theres what its guess
So let's 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)
Why do you have to stop.

I do want you to say something cryptic
But the styles always clash
Well say I'm never sure
Hypathetical won't work anymore
One move open they will pay
My nails, are driving inside my wrists
This sacroment, is sacolent, and sentimental
Maybe it's experimental
Circumsize the dental

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 anyone my hope (to you)


Circle

Give me the dust of my father
Stand on the face of the ancients
Bear all the secret flesh of time itself

Follow me (Follow me)
I've come so far I'm behind again
Follow me (Follow me)
Wish so hard I'm there again
Follow me (Follow me)
Follow me (Follow me)

All that I wanted the dreams I had before
All that I needed I've never needed more
All of my questions are answers to my sins
All of my endings waiting to begin

I know the way that I faulter
I can't be afraid of my patience
There's a sacred place where zel keeps safe

Follow me (Follow me)
I've seen so much I'm blind again
Follow me (Follow me)
I feel so bad I'm in love again
Follow me (Follow me)

All that I wanted the dreams I had before
All that I needed I've never needed more
All of my questions are answers to my sins
All of my endings waiting to begin


Welcome

I am a product, of your context
The uncontrollable urges that made me a menace
I'm all your problem, do you even care?
Pretend it's all a lie, that's how we made it here

Can't abate the truth with your secrets,
But you were far too impressed with your pretence
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

Crawl away from human clay
We our the broken shards beyond disarray
Before you cut them, you rape them
(Feed us by going on!)
Gonna go from my souls to my throat
You shouldn't wall us up with your apathy
But you did and 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

Maximize our prize of a record
It's all on the path and the words are of murder
This time I won't give in
I will save you from my sins

(What is wrong with this...Manipulation...Violence and Chaotic)

Destroy my taste and all that's right
I slam you shut, I can only take so much
How many times do I have to mistreat you?
Cause you leap out of my hand as I feed you
Maybe now you'll understand severity
I sum it up with offense no matter poverty

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

Maximize our prize of a record
It's all on the path and the words are of murder
This time I won't give in
I will save you from my sins

Save you from my sins
Save you from my sins


Vermillion

Jesus seems dressed in all the rings
Of past fatalaties
So fradgile yet so devious
She continues to see it
Climatic hands that press
Her temples in my chest
Enter the night that she came home
Forever

She's the only one that makes me soar.

She is everything and more
The solemn hypnotic
My doll you're bathed in posession
She is home to me
I get neverous, perversed when I see her to worse
But the stress is astounding
It's now or never she's coming home
Forever

She's the only one that makes me soar.

Hard to say what caught my attention
Vixen crazy, Athen Attraction
Call my name in my face, to recognize
Such a fair amount called, 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 throught my name, to self ablige
There is something in me, the darkness finds

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

I won't let this build up inside of me

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


Pulse Of The Maggots

This is the year where hope fails you
the test subjects run the experiments
and the bastards you know, is the hero you hate
but cohesing is possibly if we strive
there's no reason, there's no lesson
no time like the present, telling you right now
what have you got to lose, what have you got to lose
except your soul..... Who's with me !!??

I fight, for the unconventional
my right, and it's unconditional
I can only be as real as i can
because advantages
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, we are the new diabolic
we, we are the bitter new calling
if i have to give my life you can have it
we, 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
I'll never take a chance
it isn't, just a one side aversion
we've dealt, with a manic's diversion
and I won't, let the truth be perverted
I won't leave another victim deserted

we, we are the new diabolic
we, we are the bitter new calling
if i have to give my life you can have it
we, we are the pulse of the maggots
do you understand? (yes)
do you understand? (yes)
do you understand? (yes)
do you understand? (yes!)

say it again say it again (we won't die)
say it again say it again (we won't die)
say it again say it again (we won't die)
say it again say it again (we won't die)
say it again say it again (we won't die)
say it again say it again (we won't die)
say it again say it again (we won't die)
say it again say it again (we won't die)

we fight, till no one can fight us
we live, and no one can stop us
we pulse, with a push too far
and the advantages
are but a malice
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, we are the new diabolic
we, we are the bitter new calling
if i have to give my life you can have it
we, we are the pulse of the maggots

do you understand? (yes)
do you understand? (yes)
do you understand? (yes)
do you understand? (yes!)

say it again say it again (we won't die)
say it again say it again (we won't die)
say it again say it again (we won't die)
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 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+
Throw the shapes+
Hold your breath+
Listen

I am a world before I m 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 m 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

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


Vermillion Part 2

She seen trust in all of me, stretched across my shame.
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through the cover in me
Id do anything ever to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I dont know what to do, I dont know what to do when she makes me sane.

She is everything to me
The unaquited dream
A song that no one sings
The unobtainable, Shes a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I dont know what to do, I dont know what to do when she makes me sane.

But I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me

A catch in my throat
Choke, dawn into pieces I wont
No, I dont want to be this

But I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me

She isnt real
I can make her real
She isnt real
I can make her real

You don't even know the danger you're facing
If I'm quiet, I'll slide up behind you
And if you hear me I'll make sure to try to find you

I've been with you all day
I'm trying to stay calm
I've been beaten and it's really hard to breathe
I'm going to enter you and kill you there with me

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

Therever been all the time
Lost enslaved fatal decline
Ive been waiting for this too fool (Good)
The pieces are only as good as the whole

Severed with self from my all a lie
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 wouldnt 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
