Lyrics

Tattered & Torn (Original Version)

[Intro: Clown]

Kill me!

[Verse 1: Anders Colsefni & Clown]

(Tattered and torn)

That’s where my soul is worn

(Tattered and torn)

That’s when I was born

(Tattered and torn)

I broke away from me

(Tattered and torn)

I knocked me to my knees

[Verse 2: Anders Colsefni & Clown]

(Tattered and torn)

I drink my own cell

(Tattered and torn)

A decomposing well

(Tattered and torn)

Roaches in my head

(Tattered and torn)

I become the living dead

Aah!

[Bridge: Anders Colsefni, Clown, & both]

(Tattered and torn) And torn

(Tattered and torn) And torn

(Tattered and torn) And torn

(Tattered and torn) And torn

(Tattered and torn) And torn

(Tattered and torn) And torn

(Tattered and torn) And torn

(Tattered and torn) And torn

[Outro: Anders Colsefni & 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 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

(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me hurt

Slipknot are still one of the biggest bands on the planet. Twenty five years in, and they remain unmatched amonst their peers when it comes to their power, influence or sheer size. But beautiful? This we’ve gotta hear.
