BAmury all your secrets iEmn my FskinC  
CAmome away with innocence, aEmnd lFeave me with my sinsC  
TAmhe air around me still feelEms like a FcageC  
AAmnd love is just a camouflage Emfor wFhat resembles rage againC…
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em F C Am Em F
[Chorus]
So if you love me, let mGe go. And run away beforAme I know.
My heart is just too dark to Gcare. I can't destroy what isn't Amthere.
Deliver me into my fGate - if I'm alone I cannot hAmate
I don't deserve to have Gyou…
My sFmile was taken long ago / If I can change I hope I nevAmer know

I stAmill press your letterEms to my FlipsC  
And cAmherish them in parts of me Emthat sFavor every kissC  
I cAmouldn't face a life without Emyour FlightC  
But Amall of that was ripped apart… Em   Fwhen you refused to fight
[Chorus]
So save your breath, I will not Ghear. I think I made it very clAmear.
You couldn't hate enough tGo love. Is that supposed to be enoAmugh?
I only wish you weren't my fGriend. Then I could hurt you in the Amend.
I never claimed to be a SaGint…
My oFwn was banished long ago, it took the Death of Hope to let yoAmu go

So Break Yourself Against My SGtones
And Spit Your Pity In My AmSoul
You Never Needed Any GHelp
You Sold Me Out To Save YAmourself
And I Won't Listen To YGour Shame
You Ran Away - You're All ThAme Same
Angels Lie To Keep GControl…

The story behind the song

This ballad from Slipknot's album All Hope Is Gone was brought to the band by Corey Taylor, who doesn't typically write music for the group. When he shared the song, drummer Joey Jordison secretly added drums to it, and upon hearing the result, Taylor reportedly cried, calling it his masterpiece. The song holds a special place, as Taylor later performed acoustic versions as a tribute to original bassist Paul Gray. It feels like a deeply personal expression, a raw emotional core brought to life within a heavy metal context.
