[Intro]
This song is called, "Duality."

[Intro Chorus]
I push my fingers into my eyes…
It's the only thing slowly stops the ache…
Oh, fuck yeah! Come on!
Aye!
Jesus, it never end, works its way inside…
If the pain goes on…
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my time's elapsed
And, now I do is live with so much fate
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

[Chorus 1]
Come on!
I push my fingers into my eye
It's the only thing slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!

[Verse 2]
Put me back together
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 seem!

[Chorus 2]
I push my fingers into my eye
It's the only thing slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all things I have to take
Jesus, it never end, works its way inside
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!

[Bridge]
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!
Let me hear you!

[Chorus 3]
I push my fingers into my…
Eye
It's the only thing slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works its way inside
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!

[Outro]
All I've got… all I've got is insane…
All you've got… all you've got is insane!
All I've got… all I've got is insane!
All I've got… all I've got is insane!

[Outro]
Oh, fuckin' fuck yes, man!
I tell you what…
Just for that
I got three things that I wanna share with your right now
Turn up the lights on all my friends and family here
Cause whether you are from fuckin' New York, New Jersey, Philly, you're here from fuckin' Hartford, I want you to see this because you helped us do this! This!
Two years ago, the fuckin' so-called "rock media" in this country wrote this band off! I give you Subliminal Verses, platinum fuckin' album! It didn't fuckin' stop there, dude! I want you to look right here! This is triple platinum Disasterpieces right here! And the one I am most fuckin' proud of… Ozzfest '99, that was a long time ago, but this is a double platinum self-titled Slipknot album right here! And nobody, nobody believed in us, but you! every fuckin' one of you here believed in us! You did this for us! Thank you very much!
