Slipknot - Snuff Lyrics

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there

Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself

And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don't ever let me know
If you still care don't ever let me know

  i grew up listening to slipknot and they never wrote a good song like this before. it hit me with everything it got and everything i had to give. slipknot reminded me of who i really am and what im suppose to be in life. they inspire me now to become a writer and follow my dreams. thanks a lot, u saved me from myself.

  Snuff is such an amazing song this song litterally pulled me out of a depression... Me and my girlfriend of two years split up and I just didn't know what to do with my life dwelling on what used to be then one night I walked out to the bleachers where I first kissed her played the song and watched the sun come up and now I have a whole new outlook on life... No matter how dark and long the night... The sun will always rise again
  it's just horrible that their bassist died R.I.P

  Sooner or later they all sell out...Metallica, Weezer, Sublime, now slipknot. Don't get me wrong, it's a great song,but it follows the 80's power ballad formula to a 't'.This almost sounds like Queensryche.I guess at some point in every artist has to think of retirement.

  this song pretty much sums up what is left of my life. it's been very dark in my world for the past month. i can see light again... and can listen to this song and know that i was believing in a lie... i believed in forever. nothing has ever made me want to die until a couple of weeks ago... my cold-hearted cheating husband did not deserve me... and was not good enough for me... there's nothing wrong with me... he's an idiot!!!!

  Just like the person below me did..I heard this song play for the first time and thought, did they get this right? Slipknot or Stone Sour..either way they are remarkable musicians. If a 4.36 sec song can reach inside and punch you in the gut like it did me, than it's one of a kind. Emotionally, I cried as it explained my entire love life..
