Welcome - Slipknot

I am a product — of your conduct

The uncontrollable urges that made me

Have made us all — Are you proud?

Do you even care?

You taught us all to lie — that’s how we made it here

You should’ve 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 throat — cut!

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!

Much to my surprise, I will wake up

And follow the path of the ones I am made of

This time… I won’t give in

I will save you from my sins

What is wrong with this?

Manipulation

Violence and chaotic

Go!

Ensconced… ('onch) in all that’s wrong (wrong)

I slam you shut… (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 of 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

This time… I won’t give in

I will save you from my sins

Save you from my sins!

(Yeah!)

Oh, save you from my sins!
