Stone Sour - Stone Sour
GET INSIDE
Seed, gotta let it grow, why ya gotta watch when I let it feed? Better look into the mirror for the face you hide away, everyday But I don't give a fuck; I let it roll - I smoke the old Gotta run, gotta rend, gotta maim, gotta make it through another maze STAY AWAY!
Please… wring the blood from my hands Don't pretend that you understand me I don't even want you looking at me Motherfucker, GET INSIDE!
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Christ, have you seen this guy? Make ya sick, gonna peel away all the impurities Cuz all you wanna do is keep curin' me, but I don't give a fuck I kill everyone You'll be mopping up blood and guts and all the shit when I'm done Isn't this fun? Gimme a gun and I'll tell you all the secrets I hide BEFORE I RUN!
Please… wring the blood from my hands Don't pretend that you understand me I don't even want you looking at me Motherfucker, GET INSIDE!
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
(Solo: Josh)
Maybe if you look away, I can slip away, gotta get away (RUN, MOTHERFUCKER) Right now I stare at shit, I'm a heretic, but I'll never give you none of it Tied up in the back of the lab, laid on the slab, got the gift of gab, what'choo want from me? I don't even know I got a damn disease, but I KNOW YOU WANNA KILL ME!
Please… wring the blood from my hands Don't pretend that you understand me I don't even want you looking at me Motherfucker, GET INSIDE!
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
IDLE HANDS
Stuck to the dog, pissin' out both ends I got a hundred lethal weapons that I call my friends Ain't a person on Earth who could take my life I wish they would so a man could get some sleep at night But my design is a mixture of descent and decay I see a monster in the mirror fucking everyday Can a man ever wash his hands of blood? Perpetual deja vu, isn't that enough?
Peel back the layers… and see what I've become Satisfied? Now I feel nothing Stay away - I swear it wasn't me!
See if you can relish if you close both eyes Every time I make an issue of it, someone dies Carried out like a hit man, set in stone Don't know why I even bother to be left alone In my opinion, it's a self-serving fucked-up phase Got a picture in my wallet that I keep, in case I Gotta go, gotta split, gotta make it to a higher level than this But I could be wrong, what I say is wrong, what I really want to say is…
Peel back the layers… and see what I've become Satisfied? Now I feel nothing Stay away - I swear it wasn't me!
Run------ it doesn't matter, I need all the miracles that I can gather Run------ I can't pretend I put myself in idle hands again
Here's how it ends, just a bit too soon River deep in all the shit I let myself get into Doesn't anybody like it here? Blank looks, television drama and no fear Let another person fuck with your mind I bet you become the person who will fuck in time Man I just stopped caring, the music is blaring I feel you glaring, WHY WON'T YOU STOP STARING?
Peel back the layers… and see what I've become Satisfied? Now I feel nothing Stay away - I swear it wasn't me!
Run------ it doesn't matter I need all the miracles that I can gather Run------ I can't pretend I put myself in idle hands again
GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!!
INHALE
Come one and all and see the broken man, talking to himself He sits and waits for something better, he'll never find it here The people touch his hair and pinch his cheek; he can't even feel it
There it goes again, he's listening to someone He hears the bitter laughter And all he wants to know is…
Why------ does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore) You've gotta try------ the inhale that makes the exhale so much better
He wipes his hands on anything in reach, he never feels clean He shakes at night because his nerve is gone, every muscle hurts Come one and all and see what happened…that broken man is me
There it goes again, I can hear it louder It doesn't feel good anymore All I want to know is…
Why------ does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore) You've gotta try------ the inhale that makes the exhale so much better
NOW I KNOW I DISAPPEAR! I CAN'T FIND MY WAY FROM OUT OF HERE! EVERYTHING IS FADING ON ME! SOMEONE TELL ME… someone tell me… Someone - tell me
Why------ does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore) You've gotta try------ the inhale that makes the exhale so much better
WHY?! YOU'VE GOTTA TRY!!
CHOOSE
HEAR ME!!
Remember all the times you bent our truth and crossed our lines? All things considered, it was just our normal way of life But somewhere in the middle, we got caught and dragged away So my tribunal brings us here so I can fall today
All - you want is soulless All - you got to break us All - I have to do is Stop - your fucking nonsense
I CAN'T BETRAY! I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!
I stand before you as a victim, as the system rots I couldn't focus, so I staggered when I heard the shots There are no labels and no rehabilitation here You are surrounded by the very fucking thoughts you fear
All - you want is soulless All - you got to break us HEAR ME!!!
All - I have to do is Stop - your fucking nonsense
I CAN'T BETRAY! I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!
I watch the hope I had disintegrate before my eyes I take a minute and reflect on all your fucking lies Behind the door, you have two choices, but you don't get to choose You can survive or you can die - either way you lose
All - you want is soulless All - you got to break us All - I have to do is
Stop - your fucking nonsense
I CAN'T BETRAY! I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!
Choose!
COLD READER
I… can only hurt your case It's written on your face You always come to me I won't be used, but…
I - can't fight you anymore I know I'll open up the door, oh…
NO! I WON'T! I CAN'T! NOT ANYMORE! ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK I'LL FUCKING DIE! WHY? DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?
Stay… Away from who I am Cuz I know what you are I can't believe you're here Then again, you know that…

I - can't fight you anymore I know I'll open up my soul
NO! I WON'T! I CAN'T! NOT ANYMORE! ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK I'LL FUCKING DIE! WHY? DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?
MONOLITH
Is this wrong of me? I've come so far, so fast I'm in the dark about a lot of things Seems so real - TO ME! I'VE CONSECRATED! I WISH THAT I COULD HATE IT I SAW MY BLOODY HANDS COME CLEAN… BEFORE MY EYES!
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me? And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy? And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
Visions plague my dreams - oh God, what beast did this? I couldn't have… oh Jesus, I just don't know What's inside - OF ME? I'VE DESECRATED! MY GOD, I LOVE TO HATE IT! MY HANDS ARE BLOODY AGAIN, THERE'S NO REASON WHY!
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me? And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy? And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
(Solo: Josh)
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me? And I hear a different kind again, can you stop me And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy? And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
WITHIN!
BLOTTER
I only wanted, only wanted just to touch you I couldn't bear it, couldn't bear it if you leave It doesn't matter, doesn't matter if I scare you I only wanted, only wanted someone else's skin To feel you there Touch my face Keep me whole Help me see------ my life Give me your life
I didn't wanna, didn't wanna be the first one I haven't ever, haven't ever been discreet It isn't over, isn't over by a long shot I didn't wanna, didn't wanna be the only one To feel you there Touch your face Keep you whole Help you see------ my life Give me your life
INCREDIBLE… AND CHEMICAL
Before I show you where the secret is I want to turn you into this I want to give you all my nothingness I want to cover you with this
See my life… give me your life Let me see… my life Give me - your life INCREDIBLE… AND CHEMICAL
BLUE STUDY
Somewhere between my tongue and cheek I can feel the hands on me Pulls me in so we are face to face I don't wanna see it…I don't wanna see
Hold my head up, can't avert my eyes Spots and rats on me, I don't wanna see Claw the ground up, get me out of this Never wanted this - NEVER NEEDED THIS!
And you left me / and I left you And you left me / and I left you, too
Chair is stained and I can't stay awake Bring forth evidence to keep me sane I can't keep this riddle locked inside Seven ways to keep my secrets tied
Can't believe this, I belong in chains Separated, it was me and something else Now I'm numbing, get me out of this Never wanted this - NEVER NEEDED THIS!
And you left me / and I left you And you left me / oh, but then I left you and… And you left me / and I left you And you left me / and I left you, too
(Solo: Jim)
Arms stretched out, giving thanks to pain Spotlight looking down, I'm ashamed Kneeling with my forehead to the ground I can't help but flinch before I'm found
I DON'T NEED YOU! Can't you see behind? Doesn't matter now - DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE! Maybe made me, get me out of this Never wanted this - NEVER NEEDED THIS!
And you left me / and I left you And you left me / and motherfucker, then I left you and… And you left me / and I left you And you left me / and I left you, too
SAFE! I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE! SAFE! I JUST - WANT TO - BE SAFE! SAFE! DON'T YOU WANT TO BE SAFE? SAFE! WHY CAN'T YOU LET ME BE - SAFE?
ORCHIDS
You hold me inside your iris like a terminal stain on life You condescend to my primal brain and twist me around like a knife
Can't begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Don't ask me how I am Because you're too busy planning your epitaph Let me tell you
DON'T - try to be the ONE - person Who has STAYED - just to say They never left me! Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn…
You keep me hidden behind a curtain, an audible human display You feed me orchids to give me courage and keep me in line with disdain
Can't begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Don't ask me how I am Because you're too busy planning your epitaph Let me tell you
DON'T - try to be the ONE - person Who has STAYED - just to say They never left me! Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn…
I have nothing left for you… you left me with nothing
I live at arm's length and die a little, between your constants by day I want my soul back before it's over, I can't even wish you away
Can't begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Don't ask me how I am Because you're too busy planning your epitaph Let me tell you
DON'T - try to be the ONE - person Who has STAYED - just to say They never left me! Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn…
I NEVER LEARN!!
TUMULT
GODDAMN YOU!!
Haven't let you in 'cause I'm in you Haven't let you in 'cause I'm in you Must have been a bitch, must have been a pain Take me off the "innocent" Put me in your vein!
IT'S IMPROBABLE IT'S IMPROBABLE
Haven't said a word 'cause you're still on Haven't said a word 'cause you're still on Mustn't take offense, mustn't take a bow Used to be a derelict Now I have to live with it!
IT'S IMPROBABLE IT'S IMPROBABLE IT'S IMPROBABLE YOU CAME BACK, BUT I KNOW BETTER, BOY
Trip my light fantastic Rub me in your wound I'm not broken, I'm not plastic I'm no whore… Used against me - use me up again
IT'S IMPROBABLE IT'S IMPROBABLE IT'S IMPROBABLE YOU CAME BACK BUT I KNOW BETTER, BOY
(sometimes I think I'm crazy; other times I know I'm not)
Got no time to time to time (once again)
You don't want me, you don't need me!
TAKE A NUMBER
Never even knew what you meant to convey You handed us a retrospect 'til you didn't have a thing to say No one questions you Even someone set out to do Now it'snothing… but dead and gone
LET'S GO
Better with a lie than the world's ever seen You wanted all the recognition until you lost the means No one talks to you Even someone set out to do Take a number… your time has come
CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE! YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED TO THE MAN'S MACHINE!
My excuses lay me down My emotions make me drown My endeavor takes blame At least I have a name
CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE! YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED TO THE MAN'S MACHINE!
(Solo: Jim)
BOTHER
Wish I was too dead to cry My self-affliction fades Stones to throw at my creator Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds
Wish I was too dead to care If indeed I cared at all Never had a voice to protest So you fed me shit to digest I wish I had a reason; my flaws are open season For this, I gave up trying One good turn deserves my dying
You don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds
(Solo: Corey)
Wish I'd died instead of lived A zombie hides my face Shell forgotten with its memories Diaries left with cryptic entries
And you don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds
You don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on… I'll never live down my deceit
