SlipKnot - The Negative One

Uh, fire you got faith, a lot of nicotine
I’m gonna burn so I better tell you everything
The competition, the superstition
Nevermind cause you’re never gonna get this
If acquired and that’s how you like it
The same drama and a different disguise
Bound to war with a shotgun on my back
At least I’m ready for another attack

The Lord of lies, the morning star
You had to be set free, opposing sides
Your choices are, the negative one in me

Circle and wail with the enemies
I never follow but I never make apologies
Your divisions, are gonna get you
Because you won’t disappoint each other
Center for the cynical, you’re so political
You’re getting ready cause the first move is critical
Reciprocity, somebody’s listening
Until we learn from our lies we can never die

The Lord of lies, the morning star
You had to be set free, opposing sides
Your choices are, the negative one in me
The negative one in me

I hope you live to see the day
When the world comes up in flames
And as you die you see my face
You’re the only one to blame (fuck)

The prescient, the nascent, the quotient (they all will fall)
The cystic, symbolic, condition (systemic)
Egregious, replete with these lesions (contaminate)
Succumb to the selfish creation (your failure)

Know I got ability, divisibility
I point a finger but it’s always looking back at me
The centerpiece pulling on the mechanism
Unearthing the skies of cataclysm
When the innocent begin to circumvent
The color fades, but the picture is vibrant
What do you believe, doesn’t matter now
Turn away, the killer is that of now

The negative one
The negative one
The negative one
The negative one in me
The negative one in me
The negative one in me
In me
