The Negative One

Slipknot - 5 - The Gray Chapter

Fire and caffeine

a lot of nicotine

I'm gonna burn so I better tell you everything

The competition

the superstition

Nevermind

'cause you're never gonna give in

It's a crisis

just how you like it

The same drama in a different disguise

I'm bound to walk with a target on my back

At least I'm ready for another attack

The Lord of lies

The morning star

You had to be set free

Opposing sides

Your choices are

The negative one and me

yeah

Svengali; Why are we the enemies?

I never follow but I never make apologies

Your dementias are gonna getcha

Because your walls can't support each other

Settle for the cynical

you're so political

You're getting ready 'cause the first move is critical

Reciprocity

somebody's listening

What did we learn from our time in captivity?

The Lord of lies

The morning star

You had to be set free

Opposing sides

Your choices are

The negative one and me

The negative one and me

I hope you live to see the day

When you're world goes up in flames

And as you die you see my face

You're the only one to blame

yeah

Fuck

Yeah

The prescient

the nascent

the quotient (they all will fall)

The cystic symbolic condition (systemic)

Egregious

replete with these lesions (contaminate)

Succumb to the selfish creation (your failure)

Yeah

No accountability

divisibility

I point a finger but it's always looking back at me

The centipede's pulling on the mechanism

Unearthing scars of the cataclysm

When the innocent begin to circumvent

The colour fades

but the picture is vibrant

What do you believe? Does it matter now?

Turn away

the killer is disavowed

The Lord of lies

The morning star

You had to be set free

Opposing sides

Your choices are

The negative one and me

The negative one and me

I hope you live to see the day

When you're world goes up in flames

And as you die you see my face

You're the only one to blame

The Lord of lies (the lord of lies)

The morning star (the morning star)

You had to be set free

Opposing sides (opposing sides)

Your choices are (your choices are)

The negative one (the negative one)

The negative one (the negative one)

The negative one (the negative one)

The negative one

The negative one and me

The negative one and me

The negative one and me

Yeah
