Song lyrics
Watch those idiosyncrasies
Watch all the idiots fall on me
Running out of ways to get outta the way
Take another shot just to stay the same
But I need some balance - Back it off
Fill your lungs 'til it makes you cough
Tell me everything's gonna be alright
'Cause I don't think I'll make it through tonight

The only way, is all the way
The only way, is all the way
The only way (The only way)
Is all the way (Is all the way)
The only way (The only way)
Is all the way

Oh my God it's
Judgement day and I'm not prepared
Everybody out there's running scared
So - Take a little bit off the top
I don't care just make it stop!

I won't give another soul,To you
I won't give another life,To you
You have to stop?
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!

Do one thing and say something cryptic
But the styles always clash
One thing I know for sure
The hypothetical won't work anymore

One wrong move and they will pound!
My nails are tight inside my wrists
This sacrament is sacrilege and sentimental
Deity experimental – Faith is accidental

I won't give another soul,To you
I won't give another life,To you
I won't give another thought,To you
I won't give anymore of my hope,To you

Omg...

u people who say u this song suck.

This song is for fucks sake one of the best on the album. I mean listen to the intro and the middle of the song. It's CRAZY! IT's SLIPKNOT! IT's COREY TAYLOR IN HIS BEST PERFORMANCE ON THIS ALBUM!
Give a reason why it's so bad?

This song has to be one of slipknots best, the angry loud lyrics are great. And speaking of Dimmu Borgir...he is..scary>

I dont care what anyone else thinks, i love slipknot. I think all of their songs are great. If you dont like them, then i respect that, but at the same time i dont give a shit because i love them.

Hmm... It's sounds as if Corey sings "I'll pant my nails" ... I just realized that... but he doesn't really (obviosly)!!
I like the Intro especially.. the crazy guitarrthingy... it's something even my nonmetal friends can appreciate and aww about!!!
