Lyrics by AZlyrics
And a video of Corey Taylor reading it as a poem. I beleive its on youtube.
This is an acoustic version that I worked out one afternoon.
It's fairly straight forward, I can play along with the recorded version and it sounds pretty tight.
Any correction feel free to comment. Listen to the song for the rythem, I tried matching the chord change
with the words but I'm only human.
Solo in C#min. Though if played live acousticly it really needs a second guitar
to fill in the gaps while soloing.
My eyes started going crosseyed near the end of this
so if I made a mistake please comment and I will correct it ASAP.
Keep Rocking,

After playing this song I have changed some chords. The riff is the same notes
I just made it so its easier to play while barring the C#m
Riff 1

Easy riff, played through various parts of the song, I usually play it in between the versus.
Those of you might have noticed the riff has a G note in it. But Dusty, its in C#m, it shouldn't
have a G note. Think of it as a C#m blues scale. Kind of like how Enter Sandman is in E minor
but they play an A#/Bb in the main riff, same deal.

C#m B (slide back up to with G#4 as a transition to C#m)
The bloody angle, the symmetry
C#mYour cheap adhesive isn't holding meB
C#mMy mouth is a gun I can shoot, I can show you the Btruth
C#And I don't need a reason to lie to youA
C#mNo pun intended, no punishmentB
C#mIf I offended you, you needed iBt
C#mIdeas are the bombs in your mind, a fissure in Btime
C#mIf you don't have a weapon you can't have mineA
(Breakdown, heavily muted, I softly strum the first two lines then open my lungs up
while semi-growling and jam harder on the last two lines)
C#mI can bleed if I want to bleed
G#mI can fail if I feel the need
F#mThis face is my last confession
EThis life, it feels like a prison
C#mOh ho, I'm not Bafraid
AI'm giving into gBrievances again
C#mYou're looking at an aBbsolute zero
AI'm not the devil but I wBon't be your hero
(Break)
C#mThe catatonic, the sacrilege B
C#mYour primadonnas are a privilegeB
C#mMy God has a need to react, it's as Bsimple as that
C#mIt's better just to settle and Aface the facts
C#mI can bleed if I want to bleed
G#mI can feel if I feel the need
F#mThis face is my last confession
EThis life, it feels like a prison
C#mOh ho, I'm not Bafraid
AI'm giving into grievances Bagain
C#mYou're looking at an aBbsolute zero
AI'm not the devil but I Bwon't be your hero
(Solo in C#m)
C#mOne thing that IB can't stand
G#mIs when the minutes Afight the second hand
C#mI'll waste a lifetime'Bs worth
G#mJust to play to one morAe day
C#mNo fucking quota, no premiumsB
C#mThe world is stuck in deliriumB
C#mMan is a four-letter word, it's Breally absurd
C#mThe hate isn't fake, it's just iAnferred
C#mOh ho, I'm not afraiBd
AI'm giving into grievancBes again
AI'm down to absolute zBero
C#mAnother zealot with the weight of the Bfucking world
C#mOh, I'm not afraiBd
AAnd I will let you down aBs I hold you in
C#mYou're looking at an absolBute zero
AI'm not the devil but I won't be yBour hero
End solo, with riff. I noodle around in the C#m.
