"Negative 3" is the first track on the 1991 release After School Special, and is the fifth track off the Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids compilation album “Lunch Boxes & Choklit Cows”, where it was remastered and mixed properly. The songs lyrics reflect a toxic relationship, with lines like “Don’t know what you see in my negativity, I know you know it’s one part you, three parts me” and “Show me your scars, show me your broken mirrors” reflecting that maybe something physical happened in said relationship. The song has an eerie and slow sound, reminiscent of early songs in his catalog such as “Wrapped in Plastic” off his debut album Portrait of an American Family, and “Sweet Tooth”, also from the debut.

Lyrics
give me your blood, your teeth
your highschool pictures
your words can't begin to
satisfy my needs
give me your hand I'll never give
you flowers
your touch can't begin to
satisfy my
I can't save you from me this time
you can't save you nothing comes
between you and I
Don't know what you see
in my negativity
I know, you know it's one part
you and three parts me
show me your scars
show me your broken mirrors
your dreams can't begin to
satisfy my
I can't save you from me this time
you can't hide from, hide what's
inside, in your mind...
Always has and always will be,
three parts me
