Liberate
Slipknot Lyrics

Liberate, my madness (one of me, all of you)
Emancipate myself from the madness that surrounds me (the madness that's in me is also in all of you)

Liberate, my madness
I need to break free from the madness within me

I just want to
All I want is to be free from the madness

Section off myself
Isolate myself from the outside world

Put a wall up/what the hell have I done
I'm trying to protect myself by building a wall around me, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do

Keep the dog at bay
Keep the demons within me under control

Survive by saving me
The only way for me to survive is to focus on my own needs

Values and the game
The rules and beliefs of society do not apply to me

Not a fuck-up, not a part of your lie
I refuse to be manipulated by societal norms and I won't be a failure in their eyes

I am one, I am all, I'm above and beyond!
I am my own being, and I am superior to those who follow the rules of society

Stand off of the shit
Stay away from the negativity that surrounds me

Back off or I'll spit
Stay away from me or I will lash out

So soft, you forgot
You've become weak and forgotten what's important

Your garbage in is garbage out
What you put in, is what you get out

You don't give a shit
You don't care about anything except yourself

I won't play the fit
I won't conform to society's expectations

Get off, get on this
Stop trying to manipulate me and join me instead

I am not ashamed
I am not embarrassed by who I am or what I stand for

What is vital, isn't always humane
What's important may not always be compassionate

You can break in vain
You can try to bring me down, but it's a pointless effort

But you can't break away
You're stuck in the same cycle of societal norms that I've freed myself from

Even in my face
Even when you're directly confronting me

Lotta bullshit, not a lotta the truth
There's a lot of deception in society and not enough honesty

I can't see from here
I can't see the truth from where I stand

But I can smell your fear
I can sense your fear and discomfort with my rejection of societal norms

Saved, you're such a slave, I don't expect a name
You're a slave to society and its norms, and I don't expect you to truly know yourself

you don't care, I wasn't witness
You don't care about me or my beliefs because you're too focused on yourself

I can't be a part of a system such as this
I refuse to be part of a corrupt societal system that disregards true individuality

Hard eyes, glow right, in my, darkness, again
When I'm in my darkest moments, my vision becomes clear

With the sickness, renegade sisters, blisters
With the madness I have within me, I don't conform to society's expectations and I suffer for it

Salivate, litigate, liberate, madness, sadness
I am consumed by madness and sadness, but I will fight for my liberation

Fuck this, how long have I had this?
I'm fed up with this way of life and I'm not sure how long I've been feeling this way

I don't need this, outta my business
I don't need your judgment, leave me alone

Insert, engage, betray, my god
I am faced with the challenge of staying true to myself or conforming to societal norms

Fraud
Society is fraudulent and corrupt

Liberate, my madness
I need to free myself from the madness within me

Liberate, my madness (one of me, all of you)
I need to be liberated from the madness that's in me and also in all of you

Liberate, my madness
I am pleading with myself to break free from the madness
