Digesting deceit
I'm broken, faulted
And that just better for me (oh, oh)
This situation intrigues
I am assaulted
I don't know how I succeed
Bow down
Where am I now?
Somehow
A plaything at your discretion now
Pulling away this veil I see
Realize this path's not meant for me
Stripped away are all my needs
And now all that's left is forgotten
I want to be free
You won't allow it
It makes me drop to my knees (oh, oh)
What must I do to appease?
My effort's scalded
I guess I'll have to concede
Bow down
Where am I now?
Somehow
A plaything at your discretion now
Pulling away this veil I see
Realize this path's not meant for me
Stripped away are all my needs
And now all that's left is forgotten
One day I must decide if I'm worth it
Gave it life and I realized it took it
Don't feel bad for me
Don't feel sad for me
Don't feel bad for me
Don't feel sad for me
Bow down
Where am I now?
Somehow
A plaything at your discretion now
Pulling away this veil I see
Realize this path's not meant for me
Stripped away are all my needs
And now all that's left is forgotten

Let The Dark Do The Rest
I don't feel anything, do you?
The itch inside, I cannot find
A spark in the dark that will tear me up inside
It's not right
Had a hell of a time, I'm suffering
God my life was a mess
And I will never forget it haunting it
Let the dark do the rest
Sick
Sick
You make me sick
Sick
You make me sick
Hell sent its best to come for me
Nothing's left, there is no price
Portraits of black hang inside me
Quite divine, they pulse inside
Had a hell of a time, I'm suffering
God my life was a mess
And I will never forget it haunting it
Let the dark do the rest
On and on, this lucid darkness is filling up my soul
And how can I be all alone here?
Constant ridicule
I just wanna go
I just want to see what the future holds
Had a hell of a time, I'm suffering
God my life was a mess
And I will never forget it haunting it
Let the dark do the rest
You make me sick
Let the dark do the rest
You make me sick
Let the dark do the
You make me sick
The itch inside, I cannot find
A spark in the dark that will tear me up inside
It's not right
Had a hell of a time, I'm suffering
God my life was a mess
And I will never forget it haunting it
Let the dark do the rest
Sick
Sick
You make me sick
Sick
You make me sick
Hell sent its best to come for me
Nothing's left, there is no price
Portraits of black hang inside me
Quite divine, they pulse inside
Had a hell of a time, I'm suffering
God my life was a mess
And I will never forget it haunting it
Let the dark do the rest
On and on, this lucid darkness is filling up my soul
And how can I be all alone here?
Constant ridicule
I just wanna go
I just want to see what the future holds
Had a hell of a time, I'm suffering
God my life was a mess
And I will never forget it haunting it
Let the dark do the rest
You make me sick
Let the dark do the rest
You make me sick
Let the dark do the
You make me sick

Start The Healing
Do you really wanna come with me?
It's hard to see from the eyes of a stranger
Are you ready for the feeling to leave
So that you can breathe and not live with the danger?
But there's always something fighting its way back in
But there's always something pushing me to give in
Do you really wanna make believe
And try to achieve a little break from the anger?
I should've been good
I should've been down
I couldn't let go
What could I do?
I can take it all away, the feelings
Break apart the pain and start the healing
I should've withstood
I shouldn't bow down
I couldn't get through
What could I do?
I can take it all away, the feelings
Break apart the pain and start the healing
Do you really wanna prowl with me?
This travesty, it cuts sharp like a razor
Are you ready for your scars to bleed?
You will succeed pulling out the invaders
But there's always something fighting its way back in
But there's always something pushing me to give in
Do you really wanna make believe
And try to achieve a little break from the anger?
I should've been good
I should've been down
I couldn't let go
What could I do?
I can take it all away, the feelings
Break apart the pain and start the healing
I should've withstood
I shouldn't bow down
I couldn't get through
What could I do?
I can take it all away, the feelings
Break apart the pain and start the healing
Everything I'm feeling burst into flames
Looking at a soul that's broken and strained
Every night the wish is always the same
Keep on hoping that I don't go insane
The more you fall for it
The more it starts to stick
The more you fall for it
The more it starts to stick
The more you fall for it
The more it starts to stick
The more you fall for it
It's never gonna quit
I should've been good
I should've been down
I couldn't let go
What could I do?
I can take it all away, the feelings
Break apart the pain and start the healing
I should've withstood
I shouldn't bow down
I couldn't get through
What could I do?
I can take it all away, the feelings
Break apart the pain and start the healing
Break apart the pain and start the healing
Break apart the pain and start the healing
It's hard to see from the eyes of a stranger
Are you ready for the feeling to leave
So that you can breathe and not live with the danger?
But there's always something fighting its way back in
But there's always something pushing me to give in

Lost In The Grandeur
Hey you, what are you doing?
Laugh as you tear out my heart
The pain is so stimulating
I've been too numb from the start
And why can't I defend?
Tear all these demons apart
Who knows if it's really better
I threw it out for some parts
(So lost in the grandeur)
Help me find my way
I know this all sounds so cliche
But I've done
Everything you say
I'm so fed up with who I portray
So lost in the grandeur
Sad things fly all around me
Welcoming sight from the past
Somehow they make me feel something
Even if it doesn't last
So I do anything to be able to get away
Bad things always flock to me
It seems to be that way
(So lost in the grandeur)
Help me find my way
I know this all sounds so cliche
But I've done
Everything you say
I'm so fed up with who I portray
So lost in the grandeur
Oh, there's that sound
It's constant and profound
What's it gonna do today
What kind of joy will it steal away?
Oh no, then I'm going down
And I'm losing my grip
Always caught up in it
That the truth is all lies
It builds up inside
I f*cking hate this every day
Something painful, something grave
Can't go on living this way
I won't let you take this
Keep on trying, motherf*cker
Help me find my way
I know this all sounds so cliche
But I've done
Everything you say
I'm so fed up with who I portray
So lost in the grandeur
(So lost in the grandeur)
(So lost in the grandeur)
Laugh as you tear out my heart
The pain is so stimulating
I've been too numb from the start
And why can't I defend?
Tear all these demons apart
Who knows if it's really better

Disconnect
I cannot simply convey
The things I keep hearing inside
It wants to make me beg
To let loose lesson prescribed
Lies are truth refined
Darkest lights, hidden from the eye
The pain I have I can't conceal
The hurt inside is dark, so real
The feeling is divine
This duality aligns
I could never let go
The concept of dark and light
One tries to pull me in
One gives me strength to fight
Lies are truth refined
Darkest lights hidden from the eye
The pain I have I can't conceal
The hurt inside is dark, so real
The feeling is divine
This duality aligns
Selfishness interjects
It's a start, Forgiveness
Common sense still awaits
What we feel is all disconnect

Hopeless And Beaten
Help me, I can't put it away
And you can't make me so I disobey
Help me, this thing is feeding
Hopeless and f*cking beaten
I tried all along (help me, please)
And it did things to me (it's too real)
Had to take prestige (it's not me)
I can't feel a thing (suffering)
I feel sympathy
My hurt on display
And I see it boiling up
So hard to disobey
Hold me
It's coming, I can't see
Hopeless and f*cking beaten
Hopeless and f*cking beaten
I tried all along (help me, please)
And it did things to me (it's too real)
Had to take prestige (it's not me)
I can't feel a thing (suffering)
I can't remember a thing
You had me strung up by a string
Oh, the things I wish I could convey
A better version, me without destain
And nothing feeds the heartbreak left behind
And nothing soothes the hurting, only time
Nothing, only time
Nothing, only time
Nothing, only time
Beats me up inside
Hopeless and f*cking beaten
Hopeless and f*cking beaten
I tried all along (help me, please)
And it did things to me (it's too real)
Had to take prestige (it's not me)
I can't feel a thing (suffering)
I tried all along
And it did things to me
And you can't make me so I disobey
Help me, this thing is feeding

Penance To Sorrow
Outside, I'm looking for an answer
'Cause inside is gone
Each step the ground beneath me starts to break
I can't hold on
Hey you
Been hurting for a lifeline
Hey you
What for?
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit into one
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow
Look out, the feeling's rushing back again
Too much, too numb
It's ripped the seam, I stitch it up again
Somehow it stays on
Hey you
Been hurting for a lifeline
Hey you
What for?
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit into one
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow
Staring back at me
I won't ever be free
Go, go, go
Never be free
Go, go, go
Never be free
I can't break it
I can't fix it
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit into one
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit into one
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow
Go, go, go
'Cause inside is gone
Each step the ground beneath me starts to break
I can't hold on
Hey you
Been hurting for a lifeline
Hey you
What for?
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit into one
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow
Look out, the feeling's rushing back again
Too much, too numb
It's ripped the seam, I stitch it up again

My Confession
Hey there
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
You are lost in your ego
Human
Are deceitful and quite evil
Your desire has robbed you
Too late you can run from
What it is that
You have become, trivial
What's wrong?
You don't like this?
You deny it
And run back to your black hole
And so what is this?
The way to commit
You just run and hide
You can't, I'm inside
This dark deed displayed
Lying here afraid
I didn't really want to break it
All I want is things to turn around
As I waste away
In this hell I made
I sit and contemplate my actions
Helpless thoughts, infection's taking hold
This infection's taking hold
My confessions
Too bad you are in it
You can't accept that you are absurdity
Go on with your conflicts
You're impoverished
Lacking any kind of honor
Be gone with your sulking
As your molting
Into a parasitic creature
Nothing will control this
What you cherish
Ultimately will consume you
And so what is this?
The way to commit
You just run and hide
You can't, I'm inside
This dark is displayed
Lying here afraid
I didn't really want to break it
All I want is things to turn around
As I waste away
In this hell I made
I sit and contemplate my actions
Helpless thoughts, infection's taking hold
Lonesome
Your bed is made
The outcome
A useless masquerade
This dark displayed
Lying here afraid
I didn't really want to break it
All I want is things to turn around
As I waste away
In this hell I made
I sit and contemplate my actions
Helpless thoughts, infection's taking hold
This infection's taking hold

Worst Is On Its Way
Calling me
I feel it coursing through the inside
And I can't get away
(Somewhere inside)
I feel it breathing and I realize
The worst is on it's way
Trapped in my mind, headspace like a prison cell
Heart broken, no chains but I wish it well
Severed hell, my summer times was Winterfall
Citadels we stuck together, tooth and nail
Hot head, cold blooded, ain't nothing
We lucky if we make it to be something
Trust issues, what's with you? Can't understand
Mechanisms I'm coping with and you to blame
Keep calling but I don't want to listen
Don't wanna go back but I still pay a visit
Nothing ever change, everything remain the same
Got my head in the clouds, getting dark when it rains
Lost in the fog, feeling no hope at all
With no one to call, when I'm 'bout to lose it all
Lost in the fog, feeling no hope at all
With no one to call when I'm 'bout to lose it all
Calling me
I feel it coursing through the inside
And I can't get away
(Somewhere inside)
I feel it breathing and I realize
The worst is on it's way
Pleasure and pain come from the same part of the brain
Enemies, friends, different label, same thing
Unstable my mental, my brain and my spirit is shattered in pieces
What I'm sayin' (what I'm sayin')
Child of the corn, scorned, grew up as screw ups
Since negative one, lost cause but never falling off
There is no light without dark, know the formula
Love blood shed, in war we trust
Ring-ring, call my bluff
Karma's a bitch, I love her, she's a good slut
Since they dug me up, it's been the opposite of luck
Misfortune
I was nine bumpin' Korn in my Sony Walkman
I was born under blood moon, red roses
Man destroys and rebuilds, if you ain't notice
(If you ain't notice, if you ain't notice)
Calling me
I feel it coursing through the inside
And I can't get away
Somewhere inside
I feel it breathing and I realize
The worst is on it's way
It makes me sick
But I deal with it
Set it all aside
My confidence overrides
(Calling me)
(I feel it coursing through the inside)
(And I can't get away)
(Somewhere inside)
(I feel it breathing and I realize)
(The worst is on it's way)
I feel it coursing through the inside
And I can't get away
(Somewhere inside)
I feel it breathing and I realize

Requiem is the fourteenth studio album by American nu metal band Korn. The album was released on February 4, 2022, through Loma Vista and Concord. It was produced by the band and Chris Collier.
The first hint at the release of a fourteenth studio album arose from a since-deleted interview with Kerrang!, in which it was stated that the album was fully written as of April 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic allowed for a surplus of time in which the album could be arranged, alleviating the harsh time constraints which would usually have been imposed. According to a press release:
"It is an album born of time and the ability to create without pressure. Energized by a new creative process free of time constraints, the band was able to do things with Requiem that the past two decades haven't always afforded them, such as taking additional time to experiment together or diligently recording to analog tape - processes which unearthed newfound sonic dimension and texture in their music."
