[Verse 1]
I'm livin' in a dead man's shoes
Stolen coat, not much hope with these cardiac blues
And I keep forgettin' I'm not a god like you
Trivialize a mirror image alive
I won't trouble you, I'm just trouble
Now, now, now, now, now
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't have to leave it alone
We don't even have to be alone
We just have to think we're alone
So everybody leaves us alone
[Chorus]
I don't serve my time
'Cause time don't tell
The grim is bеhind me
I'm always aligned with my selvеs
Come and lead me on
Come and see me on
Come and feed me on
The shit we all be on
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I'm not a god like you
I'm not a god like you
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
I'm runnin' in a dead man's shoes
Sacrilege, broken cartilage
I'm beaten and bruised
And I keep forgettin' to forget
[Chorus]
The back is always front
The way is always shut
The one is always two
I'm not a god
The back is always front
The way is always shut
The one is always two
I'm not a god like you
[Refrain]
Ooh
Ooh
[Outro]
I'm livin' in a dead man's shoes
I'm livin' in a dead man's shoes
Dead man's shoes
Acidic was written by Corey Taylor & Mick Thomson & Jim Root & Shawn Crahan & Sid Wilson & Craig Jones & Jay Weinberg & Alessandro Venturella & Michael Pfaff.
Acidic was produced by Joe Barresi & Slipknot.
Corey Taylor:
“Acidic” is my tip of the hat to one of my biggest influences, which is Acid Bath. This is the ‘blues’ song that Jay was talking about in certain interviews, but to me it has more of that Southern sludge vibe. The demo really made me feel like I was listening to something off [1994’s]...
