Prelude 3.0
Slipknot · Vol 3: (The Subliminal Verses) [2004]
I don't know why I never tried
Why we shed these bitter skins again (Skins again)
All the reasons come to life
But now its over
Now its over
Now its over
Now its over
I don't know why you never asked me
I don't know why you never cared
When we hide these little sins again (Sins again)
All the reasons have to die
But now its over
Now its over
Now its over
Now its over
Now its over!
Now its over!
Now its over!
Now its over!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
