They're doing something rather curious with the parts of the body in a way we don't fully understand

[Verse 1]
I salt my wounds, then lick 'em clean
A cloud of dust, and then I'm gone
Filled within by vindictiveness
A release, I need a release
Searching for an explanation
Way to make you understand
The way I feel, my fascination
My need to cut, my need to cut, to carve

[Bridge]
Bleeding upon the silken pigtails
Watching the stain spiraling down
Force the issue with the clave
Releasing all the pain I've saved

[Chorus]
(Carve) There's something inside
(Carve) There's something inside
(Carve) There's something inside
(Carve) I'm gonna let it out now
(Carve) There's something inside
(Carve) There's nothing inside
(Carve) There's something inside
Carve

[Verse 2]
These pants are so soft to get off
With that sticky, wet bass rap, gonna get your face slapped
Bring more slicing, dicing and enticing
Gonna slam dunk, you fat ass punk
Stickin' your rat face around the boys' hidin' place
(I'll count to four) Won't give you any more
Lickin' what I'm stickin' in your face like you're in a race
(Don't slow down) 'Cause I'm comin' up
On your ass, like I wanted to pass
Fist-fuck, cock-suck, corn-shuck, tough-luck
I'm sortin' through only part that's left of you
(Your big, fat, fucking mouth)
We have eyes and ears all over the countryside
So there's nowhere for you to run and hide
(Form attack back from our haven)
No one who thinks your life's worth saving

[Bridge]
(Sit down) I'm gonna beat you down
(Shut up) Gonna rip you up
(Get out) Show you what pain's about
(Fuck you) And I'll give you a reach-around
(Sit down) Gonna beat you down
(Shut up) Gonna rip you up
(Get out) Show you what pain's about
(Fuck you) I'll give you a reach-around

[Break]
Carve, carve
Carve, carve
Carve, carve
Carve, carve

[Outro]
Carve

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).
