Bother [Corey Taylor]

Spider-Man: Music from and Inspired By Soundtrack · Spider-Man: Music from and Inspired By [OST] [2002]

Wish I was too dead to cry

A self affliction face

Stones to throw at my creator

Masochist to which I cater

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 'till it bleeds

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 thoughts are open season

For this I gave up trying

One good time deserves my dying

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 'till it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived

A zombie hides my face

Shelf forgotten with it's memories

Diaries left with cryptic entries

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 'till 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, once I hold on

I'll never live down my disease
