  • Black dirty teeth, in the crease
    Was the proof too good to be believed?
    It's the cunt with the tongue
    Who belongs on broken knees

    So far it occurs to me
    That everybody in the world is afraid of me
    Just one more sin and down we go
    But the news is out and I think I'm going to kill myself
    Or fuck myself, or tell myself
    About the only thing that matters now

    We bury what we fear the most
    Approaching original violence
    Is the silence where you hide it?
    'Cause I don't recognize you anymore

    To each his own
    Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
    If this is over you can tell me it's no use

    Use, just tell me it's over

    Today we will deceive our better selves
    Into assimilating pain from something else
    Put on your face and show me why
    Behind the scenes we had to simply comply

    Now the community doesn't feel any better than it used to be
    I want to be a judge in a criminal case
    You covered up, did you cultivate?
    Be yourself, not yourself, know yourself
    'Cause no one seems to know you now

    We carry what we can't control
    Approaching original violence
    In the silence there's a nihilist
    Who doesn't care and never did

    To each his own
    Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
    There comes a time when we can't take the same abuse
    If this is over you can tell me it's no use

    Use

    Drug out, pissed on, everything's the same
    Bitch and moan, it doesn't matter, nothing's going to change
    I don't want to watch another brother fucking die
    So discarded, fallen by the side
    Don't tell me it's the only way
    Just another reason why you never take the bait
    The trials, the scheming, the burden of the beast
    Both your faces turn your back on everything you fought to save a dream

    Now that it's over
    When this is over

    We are the angels, fear to tread
    Approaching original violence
    We're the silence, we'll deny it
    We can't continue on like this

    To each his own
    Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
    There comes a time when we can't take the same abuse
    My god, it would've taken just one word to stay from you
    Now that this is over you can tell me it's no use
    Now that this is over you can tell me it's no use

    Use, just tell me it's over

    It doesn't matter what you say
    It doesn't matter what you do
    We can't continue on like this Writer/s: COREY TAYLOR, JAMES ROOT
