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 as my time's elapsed
Now, all I do is live with so much hate
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

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

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'm not gonna make it

All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane

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'm not gonna make it

All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane

    A (SIC) Maggot and fab666, what are you complaining about? Everyone has to get into Slipknot somehow, saying that anyone who didn't listen to them before the subliminal verses is stupid. A (SIC) Maggot, you even said yourself that you only got into listening to them after hearing IOWA, what is the difference?

    I started listening to Slipknot from the first album, so by your logic, I should be able to look down on you and by the same token, my mate, who has a copy of Mate, feed, kill, repeat should be able to call me a posser. It is really dumb.

    I think it is pathetic to try and prove how much of a fan you are, by pissing on people who haven't been into a band as long as you have. In my eyes, that makes you less of a fan, because a true fan wouldn't care how long other fans have been into the band, they would just be stoked, that other people are getting into them and have started to appreciate the music aswell.

    So what if a lot of "preps" are getting into Slipknot because of 'Duality'? Can you honeslty tell me that you have never got interested in a band, based on one song? I know I can't. I started listening to them after hearing 'Wait and Bleed' If 'Duality' is the starting point for a bunch of "preps" to broaden their musical horizons, to incorporate Slipknot and rock music in general, then cool.
