I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone and leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone and leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed
Goodbye
I wipe it off on a tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is turning blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I picture me
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone and leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed
Get outta my head 'cause I don't need this
Why didn't I see this?
Well, I'm a victim Manchurian candidate
I have sinned by just makin' my mind up
And taking your breath away
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone and leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone and leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed
Goodbye
You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
The flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free
You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
The flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone and leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed
I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone and leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed
And it waits for you
And it waits for you

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.
