Scissors

(album: Slipknot - 1999)

I play doctor for five minutes flat
Before I cut my heart open
And let the air out
Three bugs, a pound of dust
Some wind spilled before me
In the strangest manner that had
Broke away my tear spout!

As I lie there
With my tongue spread wide open
A black widow had offered me
A sweetheart tube
As I injected
The candid heart that I selected
She said don't hesitate
Just do what you like to do to me!

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin.
Just 'cause I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel.
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway.
Just let the blood run red, 'cause I can't feel!

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin.
Just 'cause I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel.
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway.
Just let the blood run red, 'cause I can't feel!

Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time
It's time!
[x4]

Biding!
Biding!
Biding!
Biding!

Yeah!

Someone in behind me
Someone inside me
Everyone against me
Everyone beside me
Clawing away
The pieces
Scratching away
The absence
One more
Two more
Everyone, once more
One more
Two more
Everyone, once more
Inside the places that I hide from you
I want to see you spread before me
You, are, the only one, that I would rather see
Before me!

You want it
You need it
You want it
You need it
You want it
You need it
You want it
You need it
Don't lie
I die, you lie
I lie? Oh why
I don't want you to pay anyone when I die
I wanna die
I'd rather die
I wanna die
You purge
You burn
You purge
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you
