Blame

[Intro]

We could've had it so good, I tried

I'm still sittin' here

Looking into your eyes

And I blame myself for blaming you

We coulda had it so good, I tried

I’m still sitting here

Looking into your eyes

And I blame myself

For blaming you

[Verse 1: Kid Bookie]

Tired of being the blame

Tired of not ever seeing the same

I don’t want us to be enemies

But what you meant to me

Everything, never think

This is so easy for you it could be?

Cause you like seeing me broken

You’re ruining me

Something similar to sewers and streets

Disgusting, ugly, everythings fucked

I’m hideous hating myself

Self pity what a fucking mess

You are well silly you got nothing left

All because you put your heart in someones fucking chest

And now its time to pick myself from the dirt

And dust the mud from your shoulders

Your worth is something you owe us

The strength that you carry is moving some boulders

[Chorus]

Oh my god

It's like it won't just stop

You're always blaming me for always blaming you

Oh my god

It's like I just can't stop

I'm always blaming me for blaming you

[Verse 2: Corey Taylor]

I never mean to offend

Ever the victim again

Where does it end?

Telling the vultures and the soldiers

To abandon their own cultures

I wasn't right

Saving the blame for the night

Talking alone

Pity the bitter and bone

I can be sad on my own

But, I know that I can't see past this mask

On mask, on mask, on mask, when we conceal

Which one is real?

I want a face I can feel

Depression isn’t despair

I accept the blame

Because I'm the one that put it there

Digging my gizzards with dirty fingers

And prying these staples and rusty knives from inside

I am the hero who lied, oh

Confused and abused

Telling the truth

You wouldn't understand

I killed the better man

[Chorus]

Oh my god

It's like it won't just stop

You're always blaming me for always blaming you

Oh my god

It's like I won't just stop

It's like I just can't stop

I'm always blaming me for blaming you

[Verse 3: Kid Bookie & Corey Taylor]

All of these choices lingering

Thinking i’ll limit this noise to minimum

Filling the void with women

Then feeling destroyed so imminent

Over and over

I’m starting to wonder

If I can recover from what I have done

Beautiful mannequin make me a man again

Walking away when I know I should run

I know I should run

But holding a gun to my head

Is like Russian roulette and just blowing it once

I was so in the slums

Until I travelled the path

Carried on walking these

Uncanny valleys and horrible malady

All of my defects are spiritual now

Coming together and staying in character

Part of me playing the part I'm allowed

Holy shit

I feel like I'm losing my home and its

Just killing me how nobody chooses

To see the real in me

Give me the axe

And I'll take it too far

'Til I'm self-harming

And no time to choke

'Cause I'm not laughing in this funny farm

Motherfucker, give me cover

I discover

You can never tell me never

Independent, coexistent

Coproduction, self-destructive

Contemplating

Tell me again who I am

[Chorus]

Oh my god

It's like it won't just stop

You're always blaming me for always blaming you

Oh my god

It's like I just can't stop

I'm always blaming me for blaming you

[Outro]

Oh my god

It's like I just can't stop

I'm always blaming me for blaming you

Oh my god

It's like I just can't stop

I'm always blaming me for blaming you
