[Repeat x2]
I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

Goodbye!

I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I can't control my shakes
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder over where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

Get outta my head 'cause I don't need this
Why I didn't I see this?
I'm a victim - Manchurian candidate
I have sinned by just
Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander over where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

Goodbye!

You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
My flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

And it waits for you!

    General Comment:I actually like this band, but I don't care for the song. OMG, shut up and stop whining, which is what I want to say back to those singing these types of songs. If you want company, get your cute little arse over here or shut the frig up! It's up to you. Ugh! And it's not about slitting wrists, etc. Some people are too strong, too experienced, and too bright to slit their wrists when they know they'll survive their temporary situation. Gotta love people too sad/down to be with someone, but not sad enough to stay away from their boyfriends and girlfriends, LOL. And with that sad song commentary, I am through for the night.

    General Comment:I think this is a song about the first time Goku turned Super Saiyan. It makes sense.

    General Comment:I saw Slipknot's bio at this page and I got depressed... Paul' name is still listed there, at the current band members. Noone has updated it. I had the chance to watch you guys live last year. Unfortunately, it was your first live concert without Paul...
    Rest in Peace Paul Gray (April 8, 1972 – May 24, 2010). Never happened to say it the past 2 years, I say it now.

    General Comment:This song (and all of slipknots songs for that matter) is satan screaming at me directly ...a prophet of god... with a placement 'missing link'


    I've felt the hate rise up in me (I pulled his demon into me at 15)
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves (this is for the good of humans)
    I wonder out where you can't see
    Inside my shell, I wait and bleed (I'm still in human flesh)

    Goodbye!

    I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time (I hear the light is burnt out this time... which was part of my huge prophecy)
    Everything is 3D blasphemy
    My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
    This is not the way I pictured me
    I can't control my shakes
    How the hell did I get here?
    Something about this, so very wrong (well yea a child of god needed satan to clean up the mess human made geeezz how scared am I why I got the placement I so ruined Id never make it in heaven they kick me out in a few months)
    I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this (It was painful and scary for both of us, he got his warning that this is to be for good, when we sat in hell as conjoined twins for about 5 seconds before he ripped off me and I burned my wound shut with my hands and added 2 red wings... We'd made a deal I was in, hed already given me horns I believe the words he used when he throw them up there were 'fuck, your evil')
    Is it a dream or a memory?

    I've felt the hate rise up in me
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
    I wonder over where you can't see
    Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

    Get outta my head 'cause I don't need this
    Why I didn't I see this?
    I'm a victim - Manchurian candidate
    I have sinned by just
    Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away (He couldnt take my breath away I had to fulfill my destiny but somedays I wish he could have. Its been nothing but pain for 12 years I went throw in 999)

    I've felt the hate rise up in me
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
    I wander over where you can't see
    Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

    Goodbye!

    You haven't learned a thing
    I haven't changed a thing
    My flesh was in my bones
    The pain was always free (thanks...lol...but he asked first...I said light it up.... he took me to hell the winter of 999 and kept me real close then dropped into the floor when I was back on solid ground)

    I've felt the hate rise up in me
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
    I wonder out where you can't see
    Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

    And it waits for you!
