Jim Root - Bother lyrics

[Verse 1] Wish I was too dead to cry My self-affliction fades Stones to throw at my creator Masochists to which I cater [Chorus] You don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on I won't let go 'til it bleeds [Verse 2] Wish I was too dead to care If indeed I cared at all Never had a voice to protest So you fed me sh** to digest I wish I had a reason; My flaws are open season For this, I gave up trying One good turn deserves my dying [Chorus] You don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on I won't let go 'til it bleeds [Solo: Root] [Verse 3] Wish I'd died instead of lived A zombie hides my face Shell forgotten With its memories Diaries left With cryptic entries [Chorus] You don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on I won't let go 'til it bleeds You don't need to bother I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on: I'll never live down my deceit
