Steemit Open Mic Week 51: Snuff - Slipknot (Cover)

Hey there guys!

Here's my cover of Snuff by Slipknot accompanied by my electric Ukulele. This song is one of my all-time favourites. I may have messed up a few times, but it IS a live recording after all :) (I'm still stuck in the stoneage that is South Africa's Internet, hence the 480p quality. It took about thirty minutes to upload an 80MB video).

I really don't know what else to say here, except that I hope I did some justice to this masterpiece of a song. If you would like to hear more of my music (I'm in the process of writing some originals), then please take a look at my SoundCloud here:

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...
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 light
But all of that was ripped apart... when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not hear
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...
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
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
