  • I am an anti everything man
    A scab on the lips of the lord
    My caustic dismissal
    Is all I need to get you
    To fall on your sword

    It's easy to live fast
    It's harder to live
    I woke up today with a gun
    Ignoring your history
    Is killing your past
    You might run forever
    If death never lasts

    So do me a favor your behavior
    Is just a reason why there is no savior
    When you're wasted let's face it
    There's a side of you that
    Knows you're a failure lives for the danger
    Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger

    The bell has rung on the titans
    Everybody give us some room
    Your so called set of fake morals
    I can't tell the difference
    Is that an excuse?

    The matter at hand
    Is a matter of time
    A sad little kid with broken toys
    Your dogmatic license
    Has kept you inside

    What will you do? when you're burning alive?

    So do me a favor your behavior
    Is just a reason why there is no savior
    When you're wasted let's face it
    There's a side of you that
    Knows you're a failure lives for the danger
    Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger

    So do me a favor your behavior
    Is just a reason why there is no savior
    When you're wasted let's face it
    There's a side of you that
    Knows you're a failure lives for the danger
    Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger

    I don't mind my old, dead story
    And I don't want to lie to you
    I know my glory
    Will never be the same as truth
    By now my only enemy is you

    I won't go slowly
    I'll leave you behind
    Leave you behind
    Leave you behind
    Leave you behind Writer/s: Corey Taylor, James Root, Josh Rand, Roy Mayorga
