Scrape the excess
That's good for my head
Face the part of me
The waste they still behold
I feel so subtly
My favorite cut
I'll erase it
Is this the one in the sky?

(Do your own the dotted line) Ponder in the face
(I know it will remain) The one I left behind
(Keep moving from the day) Hang it up to dry
(Fear it 'til it's ready to crumble)

(In the closet) It will be the same
(The same as always) As it was before
(For the will) Keep crawling through my head
(And I'm bleeding) With this lust disease

Tainted happiness, hiding my weaknesses
Tape my eyes shut
Set my mind at ease
Force the good out
Feel my soul burn
I will trace it
Is it safe in my own skin?

(Do your own the dotted line) Ponder in the face
(I know it will remain) The one I left behind
(Keep moving from the day) Hang it up to dry
(Fear it 'til it's ready to crumble)

(In the closet) It will be the same
(The same as always) As it was before
(For the will) Keep crawling through my head
(And I'm bleeding) With this lust disease

I feel nothing
Just a picture inside
The weight of what to take
I'm losing the places, the places I use to hide
I feel nothing
Just a picture inside
The weight of what to take
I'm losing the places, the places I use to hide

(In the closet) It will be the same
(The same as always) As it was before
(For the will) Keep crawling through my head
(And I'm bleeding) With this lust disease
(In the closet) It will be the same
(The same as always) As it was before
(For the will) Keep crawling through my head
(And I'm bleeding) With this lust disease

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).

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).
