Slipknot's "All Hope is Gone" album cover. [Formatted]

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage—again

If you love me let me go, and run away before I know
My heart is too dark to care
I can’t destroy what isn’t there
Deliver me unto my fate
If I’m alone I cannot hate
I don’t deserve to have you
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change, I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips and cherish them in the parts of me that savored every kiss
I couldn’t face a life without your light, but all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

Save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn’t hate enough for love—is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren’t my friend then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
My own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

Break yourself against my stones and spit pity into my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won’t listen to your shame
You ran away—you’re all the same
Angels lie to keep control
My love was punished long ago
If you still care, don’t ever let me know
