Three Nil/Live
Slipknot Lyrics

Chaos, it's just the beginning
The chaos and disorder are just starting and will continue to escalate.

Every promise I made I'm rescinding
I'm breaking all my promises and taking back everything I've said.

Center mass in the middle of the monster
I'm at the heart of the problem surrounded by terrifying and threatening things.

I'm getting tired of drowning the constant
I'm exhausted from fighting the persistent and unending struggle.

Cry for help it's debatable
It's not certain whether crying for help will actually make a difference or not.

The only reason that you love me is I'm hated by all
The only thing that makes me appealing to you is that everyone else despises me.

Come on, come see dysfunction
Come see the dysfunction and chaos that surrounds me.

I guess we're gonna leave it open for discussion
Let's leave it up for debate and conversation.

Who am I?
I'm questioning my identity and purpose.

And where am I going?
I'm lost and uncertain about what direction to take in life.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction
Perhaps I'm searching for answers in the wrong places.

Maybe I'm looking for any direction
Maybe I'm just trying to find any clear path to take.

This is not my war
I'm not interested in participating in or being a part of this conflict.

This is not my fight
I'm not interested in engaging in this battle.

This is something more
This is not just a simple fight, there is something deeper and more intense at play.

This is not my life
This is not the life I want to lead or be a part of.

(This is not my) Revolution
I'm not interested in participating in a revolution or upheaval.

(This is not my) Convolution
I'm not interested in being a part of this complex and intricate situation.

(This is not my) Expectation
These are not the outcomes or results I was looking for.

(This is not my) Desperation
This is not what I would do in a state of desperation.

Holed up, scarred and tamed for the hell of it
I'm trapped, wounded, and controlled for no good reason.

Look at me, I am the glorified malcontent
I'm celebrated and recognized for being a discontent and troublemaker.

Save me? Save this!
Don't try to save me, there is nothing worth saving here.

All I gotta do is give up and all is forgiven
If I just surrender and give up, all my mistakes and wrongdoings will be forgiven.

I'm sick! Of being the butt of the cosmic joke
I'm tired of being the punchline of this universal joke or prank.

And I don't get the punch line
I don't understand or find the humor in this joke.

A million people lined up for miles
A countless number of individuals are waiting and eager to see me fail or apologize.

To see the great big mouth shut up and apologize!
They want to witness me, someone who speaks and acts confidently, humbled and admitting their wrongdoing.

(One) One

Nil!
Zero, none

I'm the pariah (Break me)
I'm an outcast and reject that should be destroyed.

I am the liar (Save me)
I'm someone who consistently deceives and needs to be saved or rescued.

I can take anything (Make me)
I'm strong enough to endure any challenge, test or adversity.

Accuse me of everything (Take me)
Take me on and accuse me of anything you want, I'll still persevere and try to succeed.

Cut off the system (Shape me)
Withdraw me from society and conventions, so I can be transformed into something new.

Deny my existence (Waste me)
Reject my being and my purpose so I can be used for a meaningless task.

I won't be afraid (Try me)
I won't be scared or intimidated, test me and I'll prove you wrong.

I won't be unmade (Deny me)
I won't be destroyed, denied or abolished no matter how hard you try.

So come on, break it off
Come on and sever all ties, connections and associations.

Come on, buy the lie
Believe the falseness and deception I am presenting.

Come on, say it, say it!
Come on and voice what needs to be said.

Say goodbye!
Bid farewell and move on.
