I feel nothing longing for something
Relax a minute to take your clothes off
Show me what you're made of
Drugs, to soothe me
Chorus
All alone
Leave me here I'm dying
All alone
Just kicked me in my face
All alone
All alone and crying
All alone
I suffocate
I'm not gifted, slightly twisted
Try hard, try hard to see if I can push you any further
Drugs, to soothe me
Chorus
Please believe
You'll save me, rearrange me
I can feel
Your feelings running through me
Take away
My sorrow, my tomorrow
Cradle me
Chorus
I'm suffocating
Suffocate, come suffocate (4x)

Just Go
I'm kinda numb
It's so distorted
You left me here with this damage that you've caused
My tortured faces
I've f*cked up places
In my memories none of them I've lost but
I haven't been here long enough to know
Every time I feel this I just lose control
Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful
I wish that this would just go go.
It's kinda sick
I feel so dirty
I'm kinda tragic kinda insecure
But I know that I'm the only
One that can fix whatever's wrong I'm sure, but
I haven't been here long enough to know
Every time I feel this I just lose control
Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful
I wish that this would just go, go.
I feel so alone
From all I've become
I'll take you down
I'll feel so down
I'm water while you drown
You're lifted while I'm down
I'm cancer in your womb
I'm the needle in your spoon, but
I haven't been here long enough to know
Every time I feel this I just lose control
Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful
I wish that this would just go, go.
Just [Repeat x2]
Just go
Go
All these f*cking (lies)[Repeat x3]
All your f*cking (lies) [Repeat x3]
It's so distorted
You left me here with this damage that you've caused
My tortured faces
I've f*cked up places
In my memories none of them I've lost but
I haven't been here long enough to know
Every time I feel this I just lose control
Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful
I wish that this would just go go.
It's kinda sick
I feel so dirty
I'm kinda tragic kinda insecure
But I know that I'm the only
One that can fix whatever's wrong I'm sure, but
I haven't been here long enough to know
Every time I feel this I just lose control
Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful
I wish that this would just go, go.
I feel so alone
From all I've become
I'll take you down
I'll feel so down
I'm water while you drown
You're lifted while I'm down
I'm cancer in your womb
I'm the needle in your spoon, but
I haven't been here long enough to know
Every time I feel this I just lose control
Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful

Me
I hear you talk about your family life
I wish I knew just what that means
I guess my mother never loved my dad
And now I wear it on my sleeve
My sister called me just the other day
It felt so good to hear her voice
My problem is I don't have much to say
I guess she doesn't have a choice
And I'm sorry
Chorus
Look at me I'm so pathetic
I can't believe I'm just an addict
I've never needed anyone to help me
I'm begging you
To please come save me from myself
Save me from my...
My mothers always tried to change herself
She never learned to let things be
She doesn't know how bad she messed me up
'Cause now she seems so fake to me
But I love her
Chorus (altered 1)
Look at me I'm so pathetic
I can't believe I'm just an addict
I've never needed anyone to help me
I'm begging you
To please come save me from myself
Save me from myself
If you push me then I won't fall
I've been programmed to take it all
And shove it way down inside
Like my father, Like my father
Chorus (altered 2)
I'm so pathetic
I can't believe I'm just an addict
I try to be (I've never needed anyone to help me)
I'm failing at it (I'm begging you)
Life to me (To please come save me from myself)
Is just a habit (Save me from my...)
I hear you talk about your family life
I wish I knew just what that means
I wish I knew just what that means
I guess my mother never loved my dad
And now I wear it on my sleeve
My sister called me just the other day
It felt so good to hear her voice
My problem is I don't have much to say
I guess she doesn't have a choice
And I'm sorry
Chorus
Look at me I'm so pathetic
I can't believe I'm just an addict
I've never needed anyone to help me
I'm begging you
To please come save me from myself
Save me from my...
My mothers always tried to change herself
She never learned to let things be
She doesn't know how bad she messed me up
'Cause now she seems so fake to me

Chorus (altered 1)
Look at me I'm so pathetic

Mudshovel
You take away
I feel the same
You take away
I feel the same
All the promises you made to me
You made in vain
I lost myself inside
Your tainted smile again
'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings
They will bring you pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again
I feel betrayed
Stuck in your ways
And you rip me apart with the
Brutal things you say
I can't deal with this shit anymore
I just look away
'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane

You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings
They will bring me pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

I force myself through another day
I can't explain the way today just fell apart like everything
Right in my face
And I try to be the one
I can't accept this all because of you I've had to walk away
From everything and...
Chorus
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
Another sleepless night again
Hotel rooms my only friend and friends like that just don't add up
To anything
And I try so hard to be
Everything that I should never take away from you again
'Cause I heard you say that...

I live with regret

I live through this
I can't see through this
I can't do this anymore

A Flat
Trust In me can't trust
I know, I don't believe it
All my life so scarred
What for, you can't conceive it
Everything you fear
I'll be here, you couldn't live it
I whisper in your ear
So loud, why can't you hear it
I'm OK (4x)
All my faith is gone
You think, I couldn't find it
Pieces falling down
Shattered, nothing behind it
In my mind alone
Lost in here, I'm separated
Crawl deeper in my hole
Safe in here, from what I hated
Chorus
All the demons in my head won't leave me
I know, I can hear them
All the sacrifices made for nothing
Don't show, can't believe in
Want to show you that I'm good for something
I can't, you won't let me
All your artificial words won't heal me
Because you can't accept me
And I hate myself
And I hate my face
And I hate my world
And I hate my ways
And I (4x)
I'm not OK (3x)
I'm OK (4x)
Trust In me can't trust
I know, I don't believe it
All my life so scarred
What for, you can't conceive it
Everything you fear
I'll be here, you couldn't live it
I whisper in your ear
F*ck it, why can't you feel it?
Chorus
I don't believe it (2x)
I know, I don't believe it
All my life so scarred
What for, you can't conceive it

Crawl
I'm so lonely
You're so beautiful
Not the only
One who's pitiful
Stretched and torn I lay here in Pieces
Craving all of your deadly vices
Like to think I'm not addicted
But I guess I wear it well
[Chorus]
And I crawl, while you spit
And I crawl, through your shit
Here I am now
Not a lot has changed
Nothing better
Everything's the same
Late at night I can hear your voices
Talking shit about my choices
You would think that you've known me forever
just because you know my name
[Chorus]
And I crawl, while you spit
And I crawl, through your shit
[Bridge]
Everything falls apart [repeat]
[Chorus]
And I crawl, while you spit
And I crawl, through your shit
You're so beautiful
Not the only
One who's pitiful
Stretched and torn I lay here in Pieces
Craving all of your deadly vices
Like to think I'm not addicted
But I guess I wear it well
[Chorus]
And I crawl, while you spit
And I crawl, through your shit
Here I am now
Not a lot has changed
Nothing better
Everything's the same
Late at night I can hear your voices
Talking shit about my choices
You would think that you've known me forever
just because you know my name
[Chorus]
And I crawl, while you spit
And I crawl, through your shit

Dysfunction is the second studio album by American rock band Staind, released on April 13, 1999, by Flip Records and Elektra Records. It is the band's first studio album released on a record label.
Staind self-released Tormented in 1996. On October 23, 1997, the band met Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst. Durst was initially appalled by Tormented's graphic artwork, and refused to sign Staind, but changed his mind after being impressed with the band's performance. Durst signed the band to Flip/Elektra and helped the band record Dysfunction. Staind promoted Dysfunction through touring and sampler cassettes.
Continuing the dark alternative metal and nu metal sound displayed on Tormented, Dysfunction features singing and some occasional screaming along with angry or depressing lyrics inspired by singer Aaron Lewis' life, with a noticeable increase of melodic sections. Although still similar to Tormented, Dysfunction is more melodic, has an absence of lo-fi production, and, despite having occasional screaming, features more clean singing than Tormented. Critics compared Dysfunction to various bands, including Korn, Coal Chamber, Spineshank, Nothingface, Deftones, Tool, and Alice in Chains.
Dysfunction received mostly mixed reviews; some critics praising the vocals and the guitar riffs, while some criticized the album for being repetitive in terms of song structure. Despite little success upon release, the album grew into mainstream popularity at the end of 1999 with the success of the singles "Just Go", "Mudshovel" and "Home", eventually peaking at number 74 on the Billboard 200 chart in November of that year. After the release of Staind's next album Break the Cycle (2001), Dysfunction experienced a resurgence in popularity and reached number 1 on Billboard's Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. In February 2004, the album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), signifying the shipment of two million copies in the United States.
