Solway Firth

Solway Firth - Slipknot Lyrics

Today, up on this hill, I'm counting all the killers

They sway as they swarm, a look of gluttons in their eyes

They mutter as the body loses warmth

They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb

And take great care to not take care of you

Here's an unexplainable one

Here's an unexplainable one



While I was learning to live, we all were living a lie

I guess you got what you wanted

So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal

It's always somebody else, somebody else was me

You want the real smile?

Or the one I used to practice not to feel like a failure?



I don't need you to do it for me

I don't need you to understand

I don't need you to hide it from me

I just want to feel like any other man

I won't show you the whole story

I won't show you the aftermath

I won't show you my allegory

Don't look away



Here's an unexplainable one

Here's an unexplainable one

Here's an unexplainable one



I'm not ahead of my time, I just drew the first breath

If I'm alive tomorrow

I will alleviate the pressure by cutting you out of me

I found my bottom line dead on the front lines

I know I'll never go home

So set fire to your ships and past regrets and be free



I don't need you to do it for me

I don't need you to understand

I don't need you to hide it from me

I just want to feel like any other man

I won't show you my whole story

I won't show you the aftermath

I won't show you my allegory

Don't look away



Here's an unexplainable one

What have you done?

What have you done?

Yeah



Oh, while I was learning to live, you taught me how to die

I guess I got what I wanted

Another needle in the back through purified scarification

It wasn't somebody else, you fucking did it to me

You want a real smile?

I haven't smiled in years
