The Negative One Lyrics - .5: The Gray Chapter - Slipknot

Fire and caffeine - a lot of nicotine 

I'm going to burn so I better tell you everything 

The competition - the superstition 

Never mind 'cause you're never going to give in 

It's a crisis, just how you like it 

The same drama in a different disguise 

I'm bound to walk with a target 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 and me 

Svengali - why are we the enemies?

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

I never follow and I never make apologies 

Your dementias are gonna getcha 

Because your walls can't support each other 

Settle for the cynical - you're so political 

You're getting ready 'cause the first move is critical 

Reciprocity - somebody's listening 

What did we learn from our time in captivity? 

The Lord of lies 

The morning star 

You had to be set free 

Opposing sides 

Your choices are 

The negative one and me 

The negative one and me 

I hope you live 

To see the day 

Photos 

When your world goes 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) 

No accountability - divisibility 

I point a finger but it's always looking back at me 

The centipede's pulling on the mechanism 

Unearthing scars of the cataclysm 

When the innocent begin to circumvent 

The color fades, but the picture is vibrant 

What do you believe? Does it matter now? 

Turn away - the killer is disavowed 

The lord of lies 

The morning star 

You had to be set free 

Opposing sides 

Your choices are 

The negative one and me 

The negative one and me 

I hope you live 

To see the day 

When your world goes up in flames 

And as you die 

You see my face 

You're the only one to blame 

The Lord of lies (The Lord of lies) 

The morning star (The morning star) 

You had to be set free 

Opposing sides (Opposing sides) 

Your choices are (Your choices are) 

The negative one (The negative one) 

The negative one (The negative one) 

The negative one (The negative one) 

The negative one and me 

The negative one and me 

The negative one and me 

And me
