LYRICS
Coming Soon

[gammainc]

Paul Gray's bass is fucking fantastic in this song.

[trevorhill]

this is one of those "underrated" slipknot songs which is sad because it is one of my favorite songs from this album

[ChronicBreakdown]

Iowa is a legendary album. One of the metal greats.

[kboyd]

2:14 - 2:40 I died. The best part of any Slipknot song ever.

[wowbrandonyoudidgreat]

This song is so unappreciated and i have no idea why. Easily one of the best songs on iowa imo

[JohnnyScK]

0:56 I love that voice change, is SO sic
This song is so underrated, but is a masterpiece.

[CamCorleone]

Joey Jordison you will never be forgotten, thanks for be my hero

[kristofcsizmar]

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

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)

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

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)

I don't want to 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?
Anybody else want to run?
Contorting, distorting, I am undone
One less propaganda nightmare fixture
Are you getting the picture?

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)
Broken and thrown away

[alfredgarcia]

One of the best opening riffs I've ever heard.

[auto_]

This is one of THE angriest and most intense albums of all time, IMO. Shit is just raw.

[CartoonKidOLLY]

I was severely shaking from an anxiety attack and all I wanted to hear was this song. It really helped and made the shaking go away. Thank you slipknot.

[PiscesSenpai]

Probably the most neglected song on the record. Probably never played live, has less views than the other songs, less discussed but it's absolute pure dark emotion, so fucking good

[slipknotforever]

2:12 Wow.. The emotion Corey put into that is just insane. Such a powerful song and extremely underrated imo.

[Meliertessa]

I gotta say, this song made me fall in love with corey's vocals. I've never heard such a raw and stunningly beautiful voice.

[marcinnajman]

I get chills everytime he sings"I've lost my only way" It just sounds so dark

[blownmoon]

2:14 - 2:40 I don’t think you guys realize the absolute true potential fucking strength and weight of this part. Possibly one of the heaviest parts in Slipknot history.

[aw]

The high screech he delivers "picture" with, at 2:40. OMFG

[wingsofthephantomghost]

this song is heavy in a very high level. Its such a neckbreaker.

[neonvoiid]

When you're listening to the entire album at 3am cause you can't sleep

[filteredvitaminsubstance]

3:03 i like how instead of single bassdrum hits, they turn into double bass drum hits. Always was my favorite thing from this song
