Slipknot
Vermilion (Full Song Parts 1 & 2)
[Part 1]
[Verse 1]
She seems dressed in all the rings of past fatalities
So fragile yet so devious, she continues to see
Climatic hands that press her temples and my chest
Enter the night that she came home, forever
Oh, she's the only one that makes me sad!
[Verse 2]
She is everything and more, the solemn hypnotic
My Dahlia bathed in possession, she is home to me
I get nervous, perverse, when I see her, it's worse, but the stress is astounding
It's now or never she is coming home, forever
Oh, she's the only one that makes me sad!
(What am I doing here?
She's my imagination come alive
What am I doing? What am I doing here?
She's my imagination come alive
My imagination come alive, come alive)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Hard to say what caught my attention
Fixed and crazy, aphid attraction
Carve my name in my face (carve my name) to recognize
Such a pheromone cult to terrorize (terrorize)
[Chorus]
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me!
Yeah!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm a slave, and I am a master
No restraints and unchecked collectors
I exist through my need (I exist) to self-oblige
She is something in me (I despise) that I despise
[Chorus]
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me (I won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
Won't let this build up inside of me
Won't let this build up inside of me
Won't let this build up inside of me!
[Outro]
She isn't real!
I can't make her real!
She isn't real!
I can't make her real!
She isn't real (She isn't real)
I can't make her real (I can't make her real)
She isn't real (She isn't real)
I can't make her real (I can't make her real)
[Part 2]
[Verse 1]
She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now, I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do when she makes me sad
[Verse 2]
She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do when she makes me sad
[Chorus]
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
[Bridge]
A catch in my throat, choke
Torn into pieces
I won't, no
I don't wanna be this
[Chorus]
But I won't let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
[Outro]
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
(I won't let this build up inside of me)
(I won't let this build up inside of me) She isn't real
(I won't let this build up inside of me) I can't make her real
(I won't let this build up inside of me) She isn't real
(I won't let this build up inside of me) I can't make her real
