Send "Snuff" Ringtone to your Cell
Snuff by Slipknot, Music Video and Lyrics
Snuff is the fifth single by American heavy metal band Slipknot, from their fourth album “All Hope Is Gone”. The song was released as a radio single on September 28, 2009.
The track is led by acoustic guitars and has been dubbed as Slipknot’s attempt at a “power ballad”, though it remains “dark and ominous”. In an interview with Artistdirect, Shawn Crahan stated, “Everyone can feel the pain that’s in there. It’s not forced upon you. You have it in there innately.”
Here is the official video for the song, listen and enjoy.
Slipknot - Snuff Lyrics
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can’t destroy what isn’t there
Deliver me into my fate
If I’m alone I cannot hate
I don’t deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn’t face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn’t hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren’t my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go
So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won’t listen to your shame
You ran away, you’re all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don’t ever let me know
If you still care don’t ever let me know
