According to lead singer Corey Taylor, this song is about “losing yourself and finding yourself all in one breath.” It was written in a car on the way back home to the state of Iowa.
[Verse 1]
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
[Chorus]
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds
[Verse 2]
Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
My flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying
[Chorus]
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds
[Verse 3]
Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
With its memories
Diaries left
With cryptic entries
[Chorus]
And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be, yeah
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I'll never live down my deceit
