Bury all your secrets in my skin,
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins,
The air around me still feels like a cage,
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again...
So if you love me,
Let me go,
And run away before I know,
My heart is just to dark to care,
I can't destroy what isn't there,
Deliver me into my fate- if I'm alone I cannot hate,
I don't deserve to have you...
My smile was taken long ago/if I can change I hope I never know, [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/slipknot/snuff.html ]
I still press your letters to my lips,
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss,
I couldnt face a life without your light,
But all of that was ripped apart... when you refused to fight,
So save your breath. I will not hear. I think I made it very clear,
You couldnt hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you wern't my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end.
I never claimed to be a saint...
My hope was banished long ago/it took the death of hope to let you go,
So break yourself against my stones,
And spit your pity in my soul,
You never needed any help,
You sold me out to save yourself,
And I wont listen to your shame,
You ran away-you're all the same,
Angels lie to keep control...
My love was punished long ago,
If you still care don't ever let me know,
If you still care don't ever let me know...
I agree with 666chick, anyone who knows the story of corey taylor would agree that this song is pretty much autobiographical, going back to the night in 2005(if i remember correctly) when his wife and friend talked him down off a ledge in a hotel. I think this song describes drug addiction and those around the person trying to save them. I love this song and think that this song will help alot of people along the way. Too many people look at slipknot as a joke and say they suck, but they dont reaalize the impact they have on us fans! Only the 9-headed beast known as slipknot would ever care to understand us maggots. 'til we die, fellow maggots! Stay (sic)

Hate someone you used to love, trying to forget them but can't, so much that they actually become apart of you inside and eat away at you... But you are just so angry at them you cant even look at them, but you see the everytime you look in the mirror, like a curse.

I love this song,unfortunatly it seems as if my life is the one that is being played out. My husband who is deployed, sends me a e-mail telling me how much he hates me, that i disgust him etc.. And we are over. (very unexpected) could he not hate me enough to love me ?

I love this song, unfortunatly it seems as if it is my life that is folding out ion this song. My husband who is deployed, sent me a email how much he hated me etc... ( and it was sudden and unexpected a total 360)but i guess he could not hate enough --to love me
This song is just incredibly magnificent! Just wish slipknot would've done more, passionate songs like this... Who would've ever thought that behind that horrible mask is an amazing, wonderful human being - corey taylor! =)
