[Intro]
Destroy

[Verse 1]
Too tragic to stay with you
Too static to try for you
These scars, they swallow hard
The part of the past that's hollow and dark
Too horrid to kill for you
Too sordid to die with you
Unstable as always, come down
Everything else is just dust and sound

[Chorus]
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
See the shape, broken and thrown away

[Verse 2]
I'd give it all away
Come take it all away
You can't resent the fear
Somebody, tell me how I got here
I'd give it all to you
Come take it, it's all for you
The noise is so damn loud, but
Everything else is just dust and sound

[Chorus]
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
See the shape, broken and thrown away

[Bridge]
I don't wanna do this anymore
Everything's shit, everything's been taken, forsaken
Gotta start it over 'cause I'm hearing it backwards
Don't make sense, don't feel better
Who's better? It's not that simple
You gotta figure it out before you make things difficult
It's not a word, it's a problem, the problem was easy
Draw your conclusions, solutions?
Everybody else wanna run?
Contorting, distorting, I am undone
One less propaganda nightmare fixture
Are you getting the picture?

[Chorus]
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
See the shape, broken and thrown away
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
See the shape, broken and thrown away

[Outro]
I'm broken and thrown away
Yeah

Slipknot

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.
