[Verse 1: Alexis Bassett]

Inconvenience by my own perception of, it's so

Afar, too rich to see what is hailin' in front of me

I'm robbin' my mind

Tryin' to remember how I was kind

[Interlude: Alexis Bassett & Corey Taylor]

But my father never knew what he said until I bled it

(From my mouth)

[Chorus: Alexis Bassett & Corey Taylor]

So you wanted to know me

Then watch me as I die (Shadowed)

Too many broken ones all asking precious (Shadowed)

Waited too long to lose my life


[Verse 2: Alexis Bassett]

Send farewell to my passion

That I awakened far too late

Then everyone wonders

What do I come for at this stage

[Chorus: Alexis Bassett & Corey Taylor]

So you wanted to know me

Then watch me as I die (Shadowed)

Too many broken ones all asking precious (Shadowed)

Waited too long to lose my life


[Bridge: Alexis Bassett]

And everyone wonders where do I belong

I'm the lonely one

Who has searched and rescued far too long

We are one


[Break: Alexis Bassett]

What do you ask from me, you fuck?

[Verse 3: Alexis Bassett with Corey Taylor]

Scan my mind and hit blind spot nailed to my forehead

I scream the words, but no one's heard

Hard to shield the doom

I hide and trash my room

[Interlude: Alexis Bassett with Corey Taylor]

But my father never knew what he said until I had bled it

(From my mouth)

[Chorus: Alexis Bassett & Corey Taylor]

So you wanted to know me, then watch me as I die (Shadowed)

Too many broken ones all asking precious (Shadowed)

Waited too long to lose my life
