Vendetta
Slipknot Lyrics

I know my uses
I am aware of my capabilities

I have my pride
I have self-respect

But my heart is still untamed
I am independent and free-spirited

I learned my lessons
I have gained knowledge through experience

I've conquered death
I have faced mortality and overcome it

I go on and I'm unashamed
I continue to move forward without regret

I'll paint your bones to match my eyes
I will make you see things the way I do

They're the darkest I have ever seen
My perspective is intense and unyielding

Until I'm lucid, I can't be told
I need clarity before I can be convinced

I know my voices
I hear my inner thoughts

They tell me to believe
I am guided by my own convictions

Another fucking accident out of control
Another unpredictable and uncontrollable situation has occurred

All the attitudes will never change
People will always have the same outlook and behavior

My imitations are leading the way
My adaptations are setting the example

I can't accept that I still don't find this strange
I cannot believe that I am not surprised by this situation

In light of my ability to feel denial
Despite my capability to deny reality

I walk away from everything with just a smile
I detach myself from situations with ease

The agony of coming home has gone away
The pain of returning to my ordinary life has subsided

It's everywhere
It is omnipresent

It's everyone
Everyone experiences it

It's every day
It is a daily occurrence

Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you prepared for the best experience of your life

I beg your pardon
I apologize for my behavior

I'm out of the way
I am not interfering

A new conspiracy has taken my place
A new plot has developed instead of my old one

So over and over, I smell the decay
I keep experiencing the decomposition

Believe what you want to, the cycle stays the same
No matter what you believe, the same pattern continues

In light of my ability to undermine
Despite my ability to sabotage

I walk away from apathy, I'm feeling fine
I reject indifference and feel content

The agony of cynicism beckons me
I am attracted to the pain of distrust

It's everything
It is all-encompassing

Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Let us imagine that this is not the conclusion

Pretend, that we have nothing left
Imagine we have no more resources
