[Intro]
I don't seem to care today
I mirror what I love with what I hate
Empty ways can cloud your eyes
I only know because I tried
So come with me, come with me
Let's meet our contestants
That have no better time to play the game

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna give it away, underneath the citadels
Buried deep with your guilt and regrets
Leading in the dark, everything is wonderful
I don't care, I don't want to forget
Why is it a crime? It's none of your business
I prefer to be in hell by myself
Turn the other cheek and tell it to somebody
Who refuses to forgive when nothing was taken

[Chorus]
No one else survives, I've seen you live, now watch me die
But we don't see the writing on the wall
And as I close my eyes, alone in here, I realize
The one that kills the least still kills us all

[Verse 2]
Hidden in the rubble
Everybody's got a story to tell
What do I need? Eliminate the possible
All that's left is a man in a cell
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe a decision
Is the better way to go, the better way to be
I've got my demons, go get your own
Save another number, don't forget to hate me

[Chorus]
No one else survives, I've seen you live, now watch me die
But we don't see the writing on the wall
And as I close my eyes, alone in here, I realize
The one that kills the least still kills us all

[Chorus]
No one else survives, I've seen you live, now watch me die
But we don't see the writing on the wall
And as I close my eyes, lost in here, I realize
The one that kills the least still kills us all

[Outro]
The one that kills the least still kills us all
The one that kills the least still kills us all, all, all, all

Slipknot is a metal group based in Des Moines, Iowa. They were formed in 1995, and are well known for their live shows and their image of nine masked performers. They are one of the most important bands of the NWOAHM (New Wave of American Heavy Metal).

The band released their demo album Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat on October 31st, 1996. Slipknot went through several lineup changes before settling with their most known Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Mick Thompson, and Corey Taylor.

This core line-up rose to the spotlight after their self-titled debut in 1999 which contained the breakout singles “Wait and Bleed” and “Spit it Out.” They would go on to release Iowa (2001), The Subliminal Verses (2004), and All Hope Is Gone (2008), and .5: The Gray Chapter (2014) and We Are Not Your Kind (2019). The band has sold millions of records worldwide.
