    I'm never enough
    You bleed me dry, using me up
    Dissatisfied and used
    Another key to the empty spot in you
    I'm sick as a fuck, I'm in my prime
    What do you want? I guess it's time to see
    If you're lost in hell, you'll find no peace
    Ooh, wade through hate and fear
    I haven't felt like this in years
    Not much left, so uprooted
    Fist clenched tight in the pockets of my hoodie
    And I know where I need to go
    But the voice of reason can't say no
    It's in the eyes and heart
    Just the latest psycho off the charts
    That's what you do best

    A home like yours is upside down
    Too much animosity
    Nobody does it better than the enemy
    A hope like yours won't help me now
    You can do your worst to me
    At the end of the day, that's what you do best
    A home like yours is upside down
    Too much animosity
    Nobody does it better than the enemy
    A hope like yours won't help me now
    You can do your worst to me
    At the end of the day, that's what you do best

    I know, and even if I didn't
    I would lie so many would believe it
    Stand up and resist the chains
    Of all the people in belligerent sick restraint
    I wasn't enough, you bled me dry
    Which way is up? Oh, you're a lie
    And a fake, I hope that truth is not too late
    That's what you do best

    A home like yours is upside down
    Too much animosity
    Nobody does it better than the enemy
    A hope like yours won't help me now
    You can do your worst to me
    At the end of the day, that's what you do best
    A home like yours is upside down
    Too much animosity
    Nobody does it better than the enemy
    A hope like yours won't help me now
    You can do your worst to me
    At the end of the day, that's what you do best

    That's what you do best
    That's what you do best
    That's what you do best (hahahaha)
    (Why) why was it easy for you?
    (Did) did I deserve the abuse?
    (I) I can't believe I let it
    (Not) not what I wanted
    (See) see through your bullshit
    (Your) you're so dramatic
    (True) true to your form of
    (Face) every consequence
    (Un-) unintimidated
    (-Til) 'til the very end
    (It) it'll never happen
    (Was) was it all a lie?
    (Too) many motherfuckers
    (Late) that's what you do best
    (Lie) that's what you do best
    (Lie) that's what you do best
    That's what you do best

    A home like yours is upside down
    Too much animosity
    Nobody does it better than the enemy
    A hope like yours won't help me now
    You can do your worst to me
    At the end of the day, that's what you do best
    A home like yours is upside down
    Too much animosity
    Nobody does it better than the enemy
    A hope like yours won't help me now
    You can do your worst to me
    At the end of the day, that's what you do best
    A home like yours is upside down
    You can do your worst to me
    At the end of the day, that's what you do best
    A hope like yours won't help me now
    You can do your worst to me
    At the end of the day, that's what you do best

    That's what you do
    That's what you do best, yeah
    (What you do best) yeah
    (What you do best)
    (What you do best)
    (What you do best)
    (What you do best)
    That's what you do best
    That's what you do best Writer/s: Alessandro Venturella, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, Jay Weinberg, Jim Root, Mick Thomson, Shawn Crahan, Sid Wilson
