It's been like this forever
No more
I hate my f*cking life
I don't give a f*ck about all of your problems
I could give a rats ass how you're feeling today
Take your worldly advice and shove it straight up your ass
Thanks for coming around to f*ck up my day
I try
Tolerate
Good-bye
Take me [Repeat x4]
Look at you, I can't
You don''t see the whole picture
Take my bed of dirt
Cold and empty I'll stay
What's the point of trying to stay above the surface
Take my life from me help me to ease my pain
I try
Tolerate
Good-bye
Empty
Try to see the way around you
I can't find it
Try to take the path behind me
Can't rewind it
Stick your finger in my face and
I will break it
Leave me with an after taste
I live for it
I try
Tolerate
Good-bye
Empty [Repeat x4]
Try to tolerate (I cannot tolerate, no tolerance my life) [Repeat x4]
I cannot tolerate, no tolerance my life [Repeat x4]

Come Again
Mutha F*cker
You push yourself on me
You force yourself on me
You free yourself through me
You'd better save yourself from me
Chorus
Every time you want me to be
Something I could never be
You'll just have to wait and see
Till the next time that you have to come again
Come again
This time you will come again
Come again
I hate myself for you
I break myself for you
I kill myself for you
I'd better save myself from you
Chorus
Like the ones before you
You will come again
Come again
This time you will come again
Come again
Go
If you have to walk my way
Have something to say
Get the f*ck away
Can't take one more day
I cannot conform (7x)
Come again, come again
This time you will come again
Come again
Just like the ones before you
You know you will come again
Come again
This time you will come again
Come again
Hate me
Burn me
Love me
Kill me
Hate me
Kill me
F*ck me
Save me
You push yourself on me
You force yourself on me
You free yourself through me
You'd better save yourself from me
Chorus
Every time you want me to be
Something I could never be
You'll just have to wait and see
Till the next time that you have to come again
Come again
This time you will come again
Come again
I hate myself for you
I break myself for you
I kill myself for you
I'd better save myself from you
Chorus
Like the ones before you
You will come again
Come again
This time you will come again
Come again

Break
I walk alone
I am alone
I think alone
I'll die alone
Don't think I can make it on my own
I think I need someone to save me!
Such is life
So sad but true
Kill everything
That's close to you
Try to decide what not to do
You know you cannot control me!
I don't see the point in
Going any further
Than we've gone already
Can't keep my hands steady
Sadness
Everyday for me
You can't
Take that away from me
All these f*ckin' thoughts inside my head
Are almost more than I can take
You push and pull on me
Your gonna keep pushin'
Till I break
You think you control me
Have no chains to hold me
Only thing that saves me
Voices just might kill me
Sadness
Everyday for me
You can't
Take that away from me
All these f*ckin' thoughts inside my head
Are almost more than I can take
You push and pull on me
Your gonna keep pushin'
Till I break
I am alone
I think alone
I'll die alone
Don't think I can make it on my own
I think I need someone to save me!
Such is life
So sad but true
Kill everything
That's close to you
Try to decide what not to do
You know you cannot control me!
I don't see the point in
Going any further

Can't keep my hands steady
Sadness
Everyday for me
You can't
Take that away from me
All these f*ckin' thoughts inside my head
Are almost more than I can take
You push and pull on me
Your gonna keep pushin'
Till I break
You think you control me
Have no chains to hold me
Only thing that saves me
Voices just might kill me
Sadness
Everyday for me
You can't
Take that away from me
All these f*ckin' thoughts inside my head
Are almost more than I can take
You push and pull on me
Your gonna keep pushin'
Till I break

Painful
I light another cigarette
Stop to think about it
Come to no conclusions
Take each step as it comes
Hold no prisioners except myself
Painful thoughts denied
Chorus
Try to explain
My thoughtful words
F*ck you, I piss upon you all
My head is a barricade
Filled with peaceful thoughts
With evil outcomes
No one understands
Try to break the barrier
I see no outlet
No ones there to catch me when I fall
Chorus
I
Piss
There
Chorus (altered)
Try to explain
My hostile words
F*ck you, I piss upon you all
I
Piss

You all
Piss

You all
I'm pissed
Stop to think about it
Come to no conclusions
Take each step as it comes
Hold no prisioners except myself
Painful thoughts denied

F*ck you, I piss upon you all

Nameless
Can't you see?, I f*cking hate me (5x)
Hate me
The walls around me caving in
Cracked and gray
Remind me of myself, I need some help
There's no one else
I'm empty, addicted, pissed off, and still afraid
Of what
Hou have left me
To live in
This mess you've made
Chorus
I feel,
Useless
Jaded
Nameless
The ride is over
I've come down
Hate to be
Can't rely on myself, for my own health
To just say no
I'm f*cked up, distorted, dysfunctional, and drained
All of my
Deep rooted
Fears seem to get the best of me
Chorus
I hate the way you f*cked with me
You can't rely on open eyes to see
You force these painful visions from my head
You won't be happy till I break down
Chorus
(Can't you see?)
Nameless (I f*cking hate me)
Nameless (Why can't you see?)
Nameless (I f*cking hate me)
Nameless (Why can't you see?)
Nameless (I f*cking hate me)
Nameless (I am sorry)
Nameless (I f*cking hate me)
Hate me
The walls around me caving in

Of what

To live in

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
I can't fight these feelings
They bring only pain

Make me whole again

And leave me with nothing 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 me pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

You will feel my pain

See Thru
"What is your f*cking problem!?"
You want to know what my problem is?
Alone, I walk beside myself
Alone, you put me on your shelf
Alone, with my insanity
Alone, no one to blame but me
But if you had told me when I was much younger
That life has a way of pulling you right under
I wouldn't be standing here preaching my hate
I stand at the edge staring into my fate
[Chorus]
I see through you
What makes you think that you're god
Pick up the pieces as I fall apart
Why must you f*ck with me
Betrayed, you left me here for dead
Betrayed, by the voices in my head
Betrayed, left my out in the rain
Betrayed, nothing left but pain
I'm sick of the answers
Your cannibal instincts and false dedications
You leave me here cold, nothing left but my shell
To die while I'm living and burn in my hell
[Chorus]
I pick you apart little by little
Till nothing is left but the look on your face
Once inside our I can get at what's inside
Beneath your facade I can see your disgrace
The walls that you build up will crumble around you
The pain you will feel as you wither away
The sun though it comes up will warm you
No longer
You want to know what my problem is?

Pain, I wallow

Come crashing back

No Ones Kind
What the f*ck's the purpose
I didn't scratch the surface
Immune to what you're saying
All along decaying
Can't see thru the fire
Darkness, lone desire
Quiet in my corner
Building up the border
Chorus
Can't stand the way you make me feel today
I'll kill you
No one's kind is all you'll ever be
Can't see through the rain
Too much pain
Am I insane
Too much time
So sublime
Loss of energy
No symmentry
F*ck soceity
Lost in naivety
Chorus
Bridge
Can't stand the way you make me feel (Feel)
Can't take the pain you break me (Down)
Can't bite the hand that feeds me (Pain)
Can't take away what's in me
Chorus
Bridge
Addicted to the feelings
Lose touch with all I've know
The cobwebs on the ceiling
Makes me aware that I'm all alone
The endless rain washes all away (5x)
Makes clean the mess I have made
The endless rain washes all away
Makes clean the mess I have made
I didn't scratch the surface
Immune to what you're saying
All along decaying
Can't see thru the fire
Darkness, lone desire
Quiet in my corner
Building up the border
Chorus
Can't stand the way you make me feel today
I'll kill you
No one's kind is all you'll ever be
Can't see through the rain

Self Destruct
Watch me suffer
You'll feel better
Stick the needle in my veins
Lost my feelings with my dealings
Thoughts of only you remains
F*CK (8x)

This riot that I've sited
Came to you uninvited
Truth hurts when it's in your face
Are you afraid of it?
F*CK (I will self destruct) (4x)

Four Walls
The thoughts from my mind
Command my lips say I hate you
The thoughts from my mind
Command my hands to cut your silken flesh
The thoughts from my mind
Command my feet to stomp your head
The thoughts from my mind have one question...
When will this ever end?
[CHORUS:]
Not much to the life I live
Same 4 Walls
I have nothing left to give
Please take it all away....
Same 4 Walls
The thoughts from my mind
Feel the pain as rats claw at my flesh
The thoughts from my mind
Feels the joy as the needls hits my vein
The thoughts from my mind
Smells the stench as shit runs down my leg
The thoughts from my mind ask for sanity
Now for this I beg
[CHORUS]
The thoughts from my mind
Command my lips say I hate you
The thoughts from my mind
Command my hands to cut your silken flesh
The thoughts from my mind
Command my feet to stomp your head
The thoughts from my mind have one question...
WHEN WILL I BE DEAD?

Command my lips say I hate you
The thoughts from my mind

Tormented is the debut studio album by the American rock band Staind, self-released in 1996. In 1993, Staind vocalist Aaron Lewis and Staind guitarist Mike Mushok met each other at a Christmas party in the New England area. Mushok brought drummer Jon Wysocki into the fold and Lewis had a connection with a bass guitarist who later left, starting the early lineup. Shortly after bassist Johnny April joined, Staind officially formed in Springfield, Massachusetts on November 24, 1995. Touring in the Northeast United States helped Staind achieve a cult following.
Tormented was self-released on November 29, 1996. Promoting Tormented, Staind played gigs throughout New England with bands such as God Lives Underwater, Gwar, and Kilgore. The album helped get Staind a record deal with Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst and the record label Flip Records. Durst was initially appalled by the album artwork, but changed his mind and signed Staind after being impressed with the band's performance.
Tormented received minor attention after its release, selling at least a few thousand copies. Critical reception was positive towards the heaviness and aggression of Tormented, but was negative towards the album's production. Described as a grunge-influenced metal album by critics, Tormented is somewhat of a concept album that tells the story of a depressed person who eventually commits suicide, inspired by Lewis's past struggles with depression, a relationship break-up and suicidal thoughts.
