[Verse 1: Corey Taylor]
The bloody angle/ the symmetry- your cheap adhesive isn't holding me
My mouth is a gun I can shoot- I can show you the truth
And I don't need a reason to lie to you
No pun intended/ no punishment- if I offended you, you needed it
Ideas are the bombs in your mind- a fissure in time
If you don't have a weapon, you can't have mine
[Pre-Chorus]
I can bleed if I want to bleed- I can fail if I feel the need
This face is my last confession- this life… it feels like a prison
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm not afraid- I'm giving into grievances again
You're looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the devil, but I won't be your hero
[Verse 2: Corey Taylor]
The catatonic/ the sacrilege- your prima donnas are a privilege
My god has a need to react- it's as simple as that
It's better just to settle than face the facts
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
One thing that I can't stand is when the minutes fight the second hand
I'll waste a lifetime's worth just to cling to one more day
No f**ing quarter/ no premiums- the world is stuck in delirium
Man is a four-letter word- it's really absurd
The hate isn't fake it's just inferred
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm not afraid- I'm giving into grievances again
I'm down to absolute zero- another zealot with the weight of the f**ing world
Oh, I'm not afraid- and I will let you down as I hold you in
You're looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the devil, but I won't be your hero
