  • Read all about it if you want to know
    Read all about what they want you to know

    Everything is God online, and it's as evil as it gets
    This is not a fuckin' trick, either follow or repent (no choice)
    Get infected by a vertical event
    Check the meter, check your watch
    Are they ever gonna stop?
    Runnin' out of daylight, nighttime's better
    But we know how to handle the truth, motherfucker
    Scandalous know-it-all, feedback chamber
    Nobody wants the proof, they want a number

    We don't deny what is wrong with our lives
    We can't decide what is left of our right to silence our remains
    Buried in the back and I'm sick and alive
    Hollow as a breath, the further you dive

    Oh, how I missed your honesty
    You never miss with your intensity
    You're gonna need a new disguise
    Vessels burst, veins release
    Just slide into the nearest lie

    (One, two, oh my God)
    All the ligatures are getting tight, like a style
    Murder another mouth before the trial
    Scalpel and then you scalp 'em to fucking death
    Kills for the other vampires and surrogates
    It's a ploy for attention and evidence
    All your fucking monsters are flaws in your common sense
    Do the dance while the shovels are breaking dirt
    Everybody mind your fuckin' business or you get hurt

    We don't deny what is wrong with our lives
    We can't decide what is left of our right to silence our remains
    Buried in the back and I'm sick and alive
    Hollow as a breath, the further you dive

    Oh, how I missed your namaste
    You never miss with your integrity
    You're gonna need a new disguise
    Vessels burst, veins release
    Just slide into the nearest lie

    Read all about it if you want to know
    (Everything is God online)
    Read all about it if you want to know
    (Everything is God online)
    Read all about it if you want to know

    Stoned like a beast on a chain lookin' dead
    Feelin' strange, what the fuck
    I'm material to sew into the stains
    Like a catalog of pain, like a martyr in restraints
    I can kill with a will, and it's stronger every day
    I'm a knife, I'm a gun, I'm a slit, I'm a scar
    I'm a scream, I'm a death, I'm a threat, I'm afraid
    That you will never understand I'm not the same
    You better call the triple 9, I want a face
    That you can only recognize
    I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid

    When everything is God online, nothing is
    When everything is God online, nothing is Writer/s: Alessandro Venturella, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, Jay Weinberg, Jim Root, Mick Thomson, Shawn Crahan, Sid Wilson

  • TravisThings aren't necessarily as they appear, by which I am not referring to the police supposedly following the wrong hunch for so long, but the story as it is told to us now. It would be enough to inspire incredulity in the most credulous among us to imagine that there "just so happen" to be so many things portrayed as true and even insisted upon nowadays which so perfectly fit a certain agenda and which are in defiance of the very constitution of reality as any reasonable person knows it to be. What does it tell you that time after time those who appeal to the people in a socialist or Marxist sense denounce something as manipulating the people and causing them to do what they would not have done if not for something that is fully external and just a matter of someone communicating words to them in some form or another? What should it reveal to you about their agenda that they regard people as that mindless, impressionable and incompetent while portraying themselves to the public as populists?
