Tech N9ne - Wither

[Intro: Tech N9ne]

I don't care, they say my angel glow is subsiding

I'm sliding outside of these high beams and I won't dare

Try to mend this tear, I love I'm fading

The good once there is just dying

So I'm withering away and I'ma trigger when I spray

And I'm attacking everybody till the feeling's gone!

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]

All my life I loved with people, so passive back then

I thought I'd be above this evil, my tolerance level

Then was up with doves and eagles

Currently I've hit ground zero under bugs and beetles

I'm tilted, inside my head's a lettuce but wilted

Serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine I spilt it

Could it be how many times I've been ran over and jilted?

That makes me wanna totally detach from light and just kill shit

[Chorus 1: Corey Taylor]

I'll know when the pain is gone

It's just a matter of time before my impulses win

And I can feel the wrong

Coming up through the cracks of my heart again

I'm holding on, I'm going

Straight into the mouths of makers

Everything that keeps me calm was taken

I'm letting go, I'm burning through, reserves are low

Just pushing on these old restraints

My time is up cause it's too late

[Bridge: Tech N9ne]

I'm about to blow up on anyone in my way

My anger's set to show up, at any time today

I'm about to blow up on anyone in my way

My anger's set to show up, at any time today

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]

I am lookin' for some fire, yeah, putting on my gang attire

Drooling and blood I can taste, so get the fuck outta my face

I'm a killer with a quick switch, yeah, all I ever really wanted was bliss

Look at me wither to waste, so get the fuck outta my face

Find another one to get bent, yeah, and it ain't no stoppin' this

Lovin' the thrill of the chase, so get the fuck outta my face

N9ne's a nigga with the sick-ness, yeah, and it ain't no blockin' this

It doesn't matter the race, just get the fuck out my face

Going, withering away

Going, withering away

Going, withering away

GONE

I gotta say, when my mother died, I really did inside

And that's the other thing that did it

Turning my crazy on a hundred babies gonna plummet

Maybe I should be committed

[Chorus 2: Corey Taylor]

What am I supposed to do?

Do I just keep faking? Fucking forsaking everything I am?

Another pissed mother fucker with a fist and a plan

Oh but you're making me do this

I can scream while you stand there clueless

If you're listening I've made up my mind

Take another step but I'm fed up this time!

[Tech N9ne]

Something please save me, I'm losing myself

[Verse 3: Tech N9ne]

I don't think I wanna stop it, but the feeling inside is nauseous

I get really exhausted off it, gotta find a way to wash it lock it

Profit nada so I got to drop it, ain't nobody in the cockpit

Toss this lostness, people from the office boxes

If you cross this boss live cautious

Don't make me, don't make me repeat myself

For your safety, because a pilly is beneath my belt

But I don't wanna do anything bad to anybody

But I'll never be perfect

So I'mma say to the people that got a little evil comin' at you from me I think they deserve it

Going, withering away

Going, withering away

Going, withering away

GONE

Straight, literally snappin' out

My lady backin' out cause I'm becoming really mean and vicious

Watching me wither, how can I give her

Love when I been so tainted by these bitches

[Chorus 3: Corey Taylor]

We are the arsenal

Chemically imbalanced, completely disposable

So butter my knuckles and taste it

Another sick delinquent is wasted

I don't forgive, I don't forget

I haven't got time to regret

Everybody else in the world can hate me

Nobody but me can save me!

[Outro: Tech N9ne]

Shit, Yates, hates, this, place

If you're close enough to me to hit the switch

You better never turn it on

I get the feelin' I'm gonna be craving a

Killin I gotta be real and the evil'll

Fill up and sucker the middle man 'till he be

GONE!
