  • Cutting or scratching
    They scar the same
    The angle is off, the edges are soft
    The mark remains
    I know I'm bitter
    And full of rage
    You would be too, what I've been through
    Knowledge is a difficult age

    So decide
    Tell me how I'm gonna die
    'Cause I've already gone away
    Decide
    Tell me how you loved a lie
    It wasn't really hard to see
    Hard to see
    Not long for this world!

    Carving or biting
    We bleed for keeps
    Out of control, into the cold
    Hell repeats
    God, I'm starving
    Spreading me thin
    Buying a story
    My soul was for sale
    Trust is such an arrogant thing

    So decide
    Tell me how I'm gonna die
    'Cause I've already gone away
    Decide
    Tell me how you loved a lie
    It wasn't really hard to see
    Hard to see
    Not long for this world!
    Not long for this world!

    I know the shit you eat
    There's nothing mellow in the
    Drama you live and breathe
    You like your secrets to be
    Kept in the family
    You don't get credit for your
    Rare good behavior, go be a savior
    You don't seem to get what I'm saying
    And I'm sick and tired of explaining
    Goodnight, goodbye, good luck
    There's nothing worse than a
    Ghoul manifesto, I'm not impressed though

    The greatest conclusion
    That I ever had
    Was when I woke up
    And said, "That's enough!"
    Living never felt so bad
    You don't accept it
    And I don't care
    Bury yourself
    Above all your guilt
    When you're ready it'll be there

    So decide
    Tell me how I'm gonna die
    'Cause I've already gone away
    Decide
    Tell me how you loved a lie
    It wasn't really hard to see
    Hard to see
    Not long for this world!
    Not long for this world!
    Not long for this world!

    I was not long for this world
    I was not long for this world
    I was not long for this world!
    I was not long for this world!
    I was not long for this world!
    I was not long for this world! Writer/s: Alessandro Venturella, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, Jay Weinberg, Jim Root, Mick Thomson, Shawn Crahan, Sid Wilson
