[Intro: Corey Taylor] Ooh, yeah [Verse 1: Corey Taylor] I did my time, and I want out So effusive, fade, it doesn't cut, the soul is not so vibrant The reckoning, the sickening Packaging subversion, pseudo-sacrosanct perversion Go drill your deserts, go dig your graves Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save Sinking in, getting smaller again I'm done, it has begun, I'm not the only one [Chorus: Corey Taylor] And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me [Post-Chorus: Clown, Chris Fehn, & Paul Gray] Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial [Verse 2: Corey Taylor] There are cracks in the road we laid But where the temple fell, the secrets have gone mad This is nothing new, but when we killed it all The hate was all we had Who needs another mess? We could start over Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong Now there's only emptiness, venomous, insipid I think we're done, I'm not the only one [Chorus: Corey Taylor] And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me [Post-Chorus: Clown, Chris Fehn, & Paul Gray] Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial [Guitar Solo: Mick Thomson] [Bridge: Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn, & Paul Gray] The limits of the dead The limits of the dead The limits of the dead The limits of the dead [Verse 3: Corey Taylor] Fake anti-fascist lie (Psychosocial) I tried to tell you, but (Psychosocial) Your purple hearts are giving out! (Psychosocial) Can't stop a killing idea (Psychosocial) If it's hunting season (Psychosocial) Is this what you want? (Psychosocial) I'm not the only one [Chorus: Corey Taylor] And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me [Chorus: Corey Taylor] And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me [Outro: Corey Taylor] The limits of the dead The limits of the dead
