Snuff
Slipknot Lyrics

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Let me be your confidant, and I'll keep your secrets hidden away.

Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
I'm not the pure and innocent type, but I'll take your wrongdoing and the blame that comes with it.

The air around me still feels like a cage
Despite everything, I still feel trapped and confined in this situation.

And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
I can't shake off the anger and resentment that often come disguised as love.

So if you love me, let me go.
If you truly care for me, don't cling on to me. Let me be free and move on.

And run away before I know.
Don't wait for me to give you the signal to leave. Do it on your own accord.

My heart is just too dark to care.
I'm so consumed by darkness and negativity that I can't bring myself to care about anyone or anything.

I can't destroy what isn't there.
There's nothing left to ruin or damage, but it doesn't make me feel any better.

Deliver me into my fate, if I'm alone I cannot hate
Let me face the consequences of my actions unaccompanied, as I won't be able to direct hatred towards anyone if I'm alone.

I don't deserve to have you
I'm not worthy of your presence or your love.

My smile was taken long ago, if I can change I hope I never know
I don't recall the last time I was genuinely happy, and I'm afraid of experiencing it again and losing it once more.

I still press your letters to my lips
Your words still hold a special place in my heart, and I cherish them as if they were kisses.

And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I cling to every bit of affection you've shown me in the past, as I can't let go of the thought of us being together.

I couldn't face a life without your light
Your existence brings joy and hope into my life, and I don't know if I could go on without it.

But all of that was ripped apart, when you refused to fight
Our relationship fell apart when you gave up without even trying to salvage it.

So save your breath, I will not care.
Don't bother trying to convince or reason with me, as I don't care about anything anymore.

I think I made it very clear.
I've already expressed my thoughts and emotions clearly, and there's nothing left to say.

You couldn't hate enough to love.
You didn't have enough passion, zeal, or interest in our relationship to make it work.

Is that supposed to be enough?
Is it okay for us to simply pretend and fake our love, without truly feeling it?

I only wish you weren't my friend.
I regret the fact that we became friends and developed feelings for each other.

Then I could hurt you in the end.
I wish I could cause you pain and suffering to compensate for the hurt you caused me.

I never claimed to be a saint
I'm far from perfect, and I don't pretend to be an angel or a hero.

My own was banished long ago, it took the death of hope to let you go
I lost my own sense of goodness and purpose a while back, and it was only after giving up on us that I moved on.

So break yourself against my stones
Try to attack and harm me, and you'll only end up hurting yourself.

And spit your pity in my soul
You can try to feel sorry for me, but it won't change anything or make me feel any better.

You never needed any help
You never depended on me or asked for my assistance or advice.

You sold me out to save yourself
You betrayed my trust and my affection in order to protect yourself and your interests.

And I won't listen to your shame
I won't be guilt-tripped or ashamed into forgiving you or taking you back.

You ran away, you're all the same
You fled from the situation instead of facing it and fixing it, like everyone else I've known.

Angels lie to keep control
People in power or authority often deceive us to maintain their grip on us.

My love was punished long ago
I've been hurt and betrayed so many times that my ability to love has been damaged and restricted.

If you still care, don't ever let me know
If you still feel affection or concern for me, don't express it, as it will only upset and frustrate me.
