[Verse 1: Corey Taylor]
So I'm back in the corner, looking at either side again
There's a terrible knowledge that comes from being arrogant
Don't hold your breath- just keep what's left- you'll be justified
Reservations and revelations- prepare to crucify
I'm living incomplete- I'm dying for release
k**ing extra time- born of different minds- I will- decide
[Chorus]
I'm seeing what the problem is/ I'm anathema anymore
I don't know how I got here, but I'm locking every door
So I can never leave…
[Verse 2: Corey Taylor]
Oh, the seminal coward threatens to show his hand again
I can see all the exits, but I'm missing what is evident
Don't save the best- just leave the rest- you'll be vilified
Lamentations and calculations- I've got nothing left to hide
So now I'm living incomplete- I'm dying for release
k**ing extra time- born of different minds- I will- decide
[Chorus]
I'm seeing what the problem is/ I'm anathema anymore
I don't know how I got here, but I'm locking every door
So I can never leave…
[Bridge]
I'm seeing what the problem is/ I'm anathema anymore
I don't know how I got here, but I'm locking every door
I can be a better artifact or I can be a bitter king
I should know what I'm made of, but I'm starting to believe
That I can never leave…
