SLIPKNOT LYRICS - Don't Get Close

"Don't Get Close"



Somebody give me some light

And not punch in the dark

Somebody show me the end

And I try to push a start

I'm trying to figure out

A better way, a better answer

But I keep finding all the problems

I've been looking after



You can't wander through the world

With nothing but a smile

I'll take your tongue for words

And use it to instill denial

Don't get close

You don't know me

And you'll never know

Chivalry, will get you somewhere

Rivalry, will take you there



Don't get close

You don't know me

And you'll never know

Chivalry, will get you somewhere

Rivalry, will take you there

Maybe I should look away

Before I really miss

Maybe I should pick the time

Before I pick the place

I bet you all the things

That you emulate, you penalize

But I don't wanna go

Before you learn to finalize



Don't get close

You don't know me

And you'll never know

Chivalry, will get you somewhere

Rivalry, will take you there

Don't get close

You don't know me

And you'll never know

Chivalry, will get you somewhere

Rivalry



You assist the plot

My vision's overshot

I have the best confection

I was gone for all the lessons

Who coined these words I use

Stay out and be abused

I didn't want to be

The undeniable source of everything



Don't get close

Don't get close

Don't get close

Don't get close

Don't get close

You'd better stay away

Don't get close

You'd better stay away

Don't get close

You'd better stay away

Don't get close

You'd better stay away



Need change, watching all the conflicts

Constrict, push the fist in, squeeze it

I can not resist, claws and fist

Remember, remember

You take the rivalries

And never make much sense

I have the worst possession

What I want is so insensitive

Stay out and be abused

Cause this is so confused

I only want to be

Left alone, and rot away



Don't get close

Don't get close

Don't get close

Don't get close

Don't get close

You'd better stay away

Don't get close

You'd better stay away

Don't get close

You'd better stay away
