[Intro: Clown]
Kill me!

[Verse 1: Corey Taylor & Clown]
Tattered and torn
Something aches
Tattered and torn
Bad things slither
Tattered and torn
My floors are burning down
Tattered and torn
And I can't find a window

[Verse 2: Corey Taylor & Clown]
Tattered and torn
This is medieval
Tattered and torn
This is cerebral
Tattered and torn
Suffocated
Tattered and torn
Melodramatic

[Verse 3: Corey Taylor & Clown]
Tattered and torn
Driven to the verge of
Tattered and torn
I make you my enemy
Tattered and torn
The nerves you sever
Tattered and torn
Can serve you better

[Verse 4: Corey Taylor & Clown]
Tattered and torn
In the blink of an eye
Tattered and torn
In the space of a second
Tattered and torn
Open my wrists
Tattered and torn
Give me my lessons

[Outro: Corey Taylor & Clown]
(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me hurt!
(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me hurt!
(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me hurt!
(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me…
(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me hurt!
(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me hurt!
(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me hurt!
(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me hurt!

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).
