[Intro]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Pathetic (benign)
Accept it (undermine)
Your opinion (my justification)
Happy (safe)
Servant (caged)
Malice (utter weakness)
No toleration – invade (committed)
Enraged (admit it)
Don't condescend (don't even disagree)
Desire (decay)
Disappoint (delay)
You suffered then (now suffer unto me)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Obsession – take another look
Remember – every chance you took
Decide – either live with me
Or give up – any thought you had of being free

[Chorus 1]
(Don't go) I never wanted anybody more than I wanted you…
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved was hate…

[Verse 2]
Anyone (no) anything (yes) anyway (fall)
Anybody (mine) anybody (tell me)
I want (you) I need (you) I'll have (you)
I won't let anybody have you
Obey (me) believe (me) just trust (me) worship (me) live for (me)
Be grateful (now) be honest (now) be precious (now) be mine (just love me)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Possession – feed my only vice
Confession – I won't tell you twice
Decide – either die for me
Or give up – any thought you had of being free

[Chorus 2]
(Don’t go) I never wanted anybody more than I wanted you…
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved was hurting you…
(Don’t go) I never wanted anybody more than I wanted you…
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved was hate…

[Break]
Yeah!
Oh...

[Bridge]
Stay inside the hole – let me take control
Dominate
You are nothing more – you are something less
Innocent
Something has to give – something has to break
Omnipresent
Fingers on your skin – let my savage in
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it
You deserve it, oh...

[Chorus 3]
(Don’t go) I never wanted anybody more than I wanted you… (I wanted you)
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved was hurting you… (was hurting you)
(Don’t go) I never wanted anybody more than I wanted you… (I wanted you)
(I know) the only thing I ever really loved was hate…

[Outro]
You're mine (I know who you are)
You're mine (I know who you are)
You're mine (I know who you are)
Yeah!

Thank you so much. Last night we did a song off of Iowa that we've never played before in Vegas before. And that got us to thinking, we're doing two nights why not play a song of the Iowa that we've never played live before ever. Now this, this could be a fucking train wreck. I'm warning you right now, alright? So without further to do my family and friends from fucking Las Vegas, Nevada

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).

The band released their demo album Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat on October 31st, 1996. Slipknot went through several lineup changes before settling with their most known Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Mick Thompson, and Corey Taylor.

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). The band has sold millions of records worldwide.
