Unsainted
Slipknot Lyrics

Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul
I refuse to make self-destructive sacrifices in order to preserve my spiritual essence

I was gone, but how was I to know?
I was emotionally absent; how could I have somehow known better at that time?

I didn't come this far to sink so low
After having made it this far, such a drastic downturn isn't something I'm capable of tolerating

I'm finally holding on to letting go
I'm paradoxically becoming more secure in my ability to release my negative past experiences

Indecision overload
I'm having difficulty making choices

Keep a buckle on the devil and your eyes on the road
Rein in your evil impulses and maintain your focus

Reaching out for the hand of God
I'm searching for spiritual guidance

But did you think you'd shake your own?
Did you believe that you could genuinely escape your own harmful tendencies?

You've killed the saint in me
You dissipated and destroyed the virtuous aspects of me by your actions

How dare you martyr me?
I demand to know who gave you the right to make me a martyr?

Another villain with an itch to scratch
Once more, an antagonist with a compulsive need to do harm

Denial is the darkest when you live in a hole
When you're extremely cut-off from reality, it becomes extremely difficult to admit the truth

Why does the hell make you feel so cold?
The infernal seems to provoke an unexplainable sensation of frigidity

Make a move and you pay for it
There is a definite price to be paid for taking action

Pick a lord and you pray to it
You choose an authority figure and yourself to it accordingly

You're so demanding when you want the truth
When you desire the unvarnished truth, you become unyielding and unyielding

But your stories don't read for me
Your parables, anecdotes, and morals don't allow me to glean anything worthwhile

This killing field is all grown over
This battleground has now become incredibly overgrown

The motherfucker wants it wild
The violent adversary intends for everything to remain lawless and untamed

Go sow your oats in alphabetical order
Engage in promiscuous behavior in a particular, yet arbitrary, sequence

The anti-antagonist is back in style
The person who opposes the artist has become popular once more

(Myopic) cannot see straight
Lacking in foresight or judgment, I'm unable to perceive reality accurately

(Dystopic) one sin too late
I've begun living in a dystopian state due to one error

You gotta lie if you wanna believe
In order to convince yourself of something, you must lie to yourself

Did you think you could win? And fill me in?
Did you believe that you could be victorious? What's your justification here?

Did you think you could do it again? I'm not your sin
Did you truly believe that you could repeat your previous exploits with me? I'm not a tool for your misdeeds

I was all that you wanted and more, but you didn't want me
I was everything you could have asked for and more, but you didn't actually want me

I was more than you thought I could be
I surpassed your expectations of what I'm capable of doing or being

So I'm setting you free, I'm setting you free
Therefore, I'm doing what it takes to free you permanently

Your bibles don't work on me
The advice or philosophies that you live your life by won't have any effect on me
