AOV - Slipknot

Black dirty teeth, in the grease

Was the proof, too good to be believed

It’s the cut, we’re the tongue

Who belongs on broken knees

So far it occurs to me

That everybody in the world is afraid of me

Just one more slip and down we go

But the news is out

And I think I’m going to kill myself

Or fight myself, or tell myself

About the only thing that matters now

We bury what we fear the most

Approaching original violence

Is the silence where you hide it?

Cause I don’t recognize you anymore

To each his own

I can do with one less watered down excuse

If this is over you can tell me it’s no use

Used — just tell me it’s over

Today we will deceive our better selves

Into assimilating pain from something else

Put on your face and show me why

Behind this safe we had to simply comply

Now the community doesn’t feel any better than it used to be

I want to be a judge in their criminal case

You gather an upset, you’ll come to faith

Be yourself, not yourselve, know yourself

Cause no one seems to know you now

We carry what we can’t control

Approaching original violence

In the silence there’s a nihilist

Who doesn’t care and never did

To each his own

I can do with one less watered down excuse

There comes a time where we can’t take the same abuse

If this is over you can tell me it’s no use

Calm down, we’re done, everything’s the same

Bitch and moan, it doesn’t matter, nothing’s gonna change

I don’t want to watch another brother f*cking die

So I’m discarded, fallen from the side

Don’t tell me it’s the only way

Just because the reason is why you never take the blame

The trials, the scare means, the burden of the beast

Fuck your face and turn your back on

Everything you fought to save a dream

(Now I can die alone)

(We're going to die)

We are the angels, fear to tread

Approaching original violence

We’re the silence, we’ll deny it

We can’t continue on like this

To each his own

I can do with one less watered down excuse

There comes a time where we can’t take the same abuse

My god, it would have taken just one worthless day from you

Now that this is over you can tell me it’s no use

Now that this is over you can tell me it’s no use

Used — just tell me it’s over

It doesn’t matter what you say

It doesn’t matter what you do

We can’t continue on like this
