[Chorus]
I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited last, my time's elapsed
Now, all I do is live with so much fate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

Pull me back together
Or separate the skin from the bone
Leave me all the pieces, and then you can leave me alone
Tell me the reality is better than dream
But I found out the hard way,
Nothing is what it seems!

[Chorus]

All I've got, all I've got is insane [Repeat x4]

[Chorus]

    My Interpretation:Paul Gray had said that this song is about how some fans broke into a house and caused $40,000 in damage which they ended up paying for

    Song Meaning:I am not 100 % sure on all of the meanings but i'm pretty sure "you cannot kill what you did not create" means that music industry's cannot kill slipknot because they created themselves and "I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise" is also directed at music company's as they probably wont like the sound of slipknot.

    General Comment:I think this song is about the duality between doing what you think and what your instincts said. Our ideas sometimes make us do things that can result painful ("I push my fingers into my eyes") but our instincts says that we can't do that ("I'm not gonna make it!"). And how some people thinks you are insane when you do what you think when it hurts you ("All I've got is insane")
