Ladies and gentlemen, due to unforeseen circumstances, Slipknot will not be performing this evening. We are as we speak trying to rectify this situation. We'll be right back with you

[Intro]
1-2-3!
Yeah!
Drop it!

[Verse 1]
Bones in the water and dust in my lungs
Absorbing archaic like a sponge
The ultimate way is the way you control
But can you stay if you detach your soul?
Bury the present and squeeze out the past
The ones you endear to never last
Chemical burns and the animalistic
I'm just another headline pseudo-statistic

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel this?
I'm dyin' to feel this
Can you feel this?

[Verse 2]
Blood on the paper and skin on my teeth
Tryin' to commit to what's beneath
To find the time is to lose the momentum
You learn the lessons and immediately forget them
Automatic and out of my reach
Consult all the waste to find the key
Minimal life and the polysyllabic
I'm just another blank page, push the button, pull the rage

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel this?
I'm dyin' to feel this
Can you feel this?

[Chorus]
I am all, but what am I?
Another number that isn't equal to any of you
I control but I comply
Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces
I'm uneven

[Bridge]
I am the damaged one
All my life and the damage done
I am the damaged one
All my life and the damage done
I am the damaged one
All my life and the damage done
I am the damaged one
All my life and the damage done

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel this?
I'm dyin' to feel this
Can you feel this?
I'm dyin' to feel this
Can you feel this?
I'm dyin' to feel this
Can you feel this?

[Chorus]
I am all but what am I?
Another number that isn't equal to any of you
I control but I comply
Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces
I'm uneven
I am all but what am I?
Another number that isn't equal to any of you
I control but I comply
Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces
I'm uneven

Slipknot is a metal group based in Des Moines, Iowa. They were formed in 1995, and are well known for their live shows and their image of nine masked performers. They are one of the most important bands of the NWOAHM (New Wave of American Heavy Metal).

This core line-up rose to the spotlight after their self-titled debut in 1999 which contained the breakout singles “Wait and Bleed” and “Spit it Out.” They would go on to release Iowa (2001), The Subliminal Verses (2004), and All Hope Is Gone (2008), and .5: The Gray Chapter (2014) and We Are Not Your Kind (2019).
