Slipknot - Solway Firth

Lyrics to Solway Firth by Slipknot 

[Intro] Today, up on this hill, I'm counting all the killers They sway as they swarm, a look of gluttons in their eyes They mutter as the body loses warmth They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb And take great care to not take care of you Here's an unexplainable one Here's an unexplainable one [Verse 1] While I was learning to live, we all were living a lie I guess you got what you wanted So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal It's always somebody else, somebody else was me You want the real smile? Or the one I used to practice not to feel like a failure? [Chorus] I don't need you to do it for me I don't need you to understand I don't need you to hide it from me I just wanna feel like any other man I won't show you the whole story I won't show you the aftermath I won't show you my allegory Don't look away, here's an unexplainable one [Post-Chorus] Here's an unexplainable one Here's an unexplainable one [Verse 2] I'm not ahead of my time, I just drew the first breath If I'm alive tomorrow I will alleviate the pressure by cutting you out of me I found my bottom line dead on the front lines I know I'll never go home So set fire to your ships and past regrets and be free [Chorus] I don't need you to do it for me I don't need you to understand I don't need you to hide it from me I just wanna feel like any other man I won't show you my whole story I won't show you the aftermath I won't show you my allegory Don't look away, here's an unexplainable one [Post-Chorus] What have you done? What have you done? Yeah [Outro] Oh, while I was learning to live, you taught me how to die I guess I got what I wanted Another needle in the back through purified scarification It wasn't somebody else, you fucking did it to me You want a real smile? I haven't smiled in years
