Relax, it's over
You belong to me, I fill your mouth with dirt...
Iowa
Slipknot
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Relax, it's over
You belong to me, I fill your mouth with dirt
Relax, it's over
You can never leave, I take your second digit with me, love
[Verse 2]
You are my first
I can barely breathe, I find you fascinating
You are my favorite
Lay you down to sleep, it's all that I can do to stop, love
[Verse 3]
So blue, so broken
Paper doll decays, I haven't left you yet
So cold, subversive
Your eyes are full of bleach, tomorrow I will go away again, love
[Bridge]
You are mine
You will always be mine
I can tear you apart
I can recombine you
All I want is to covet you all
You belong to me
I will kill you to love you (love you)
[Outro]
Do you see?
I can smell you
I fucking told you
You'll live forever
You will live forever

Longest song made by the band. In a Q&A with Corey Taylor, he describes the song about “being alone with a corpse.” Recording the song was a trip for Corey since he recorded his vocals while stripped naked, vomiting, and cutting himself with glass.

Slipknot WikiThere is a secret message in the song. After the verses finish and the guitars fade out, Corey can be heard screaming multiple things. One of the things he is screaming is something that sounds like “Gah makin' noises” repeatedly. This is actually a sample of Corey screaming played by Craig Jones. When the song is played backwards, it is actually “don't look at me”.
