Bother Lyrics by Corey Taylor

Live in London

2018

[Verse 1]
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

[Chorus]
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 'til it bleeds

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
I wish I had a reason
My flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

[Chorus]
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 'til it bleeds

[Verse 3]
Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with its memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries

[Chorus]
And you don't need to bother
I don't need to be (I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be, yeah (I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on (Once I hold on)
I'll never live down my deceit
