Korn - Issues (1999)

All I want in life is to be happy (happy).
It seems funny to me.
How fucked things can be.
Everytime I get head.
I feel more dead.


Hey, I'm feeling tired
My time is gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes that's OK
Do what others say
I'm here standing hollow
Falling away from me, falling away from me

Day, is here fading
That's when I'm insane
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kills the pain
I can't always say
'It's gonna be better tomorrow'
Falling away from me, falling away from me

Beating me down, beating me, beating me down
Down, into the ground, screaming so sound
Beating me, beating me, down, down
Into the ground

(falling away from me)
It's spinning round and round
(falling away from me)
It's lost and can't be found
(falling away from me)
It's spinning round and round
(falling away from me)
Slow it down

Beating me down, beating me, beating me
Down, down, into the ground, screaming so sound
Beating me, beating me, down, down
Into the ground

Twisting me, they won't go away
So I pray, go away

Life's falling away from me,
It's falling away from me,
Life's falling away from me, FUCK!

Beating me down, beating me, beating me
Down, down, into the ground, screaming so sound
Beating me, beating me, down, down
Into the ground

(falling away from me)
Beating me down
(falling away from me)
Beating me, beating me
(falling away from me)
Down, down
(falling away from me)
Into the ground
Screaming so sound
(falling away from me)
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
(falling away from me)
Into the ground


How did it start?
Well I don't know
I just feel the craving
I see the flesh and it smells fresh and it's just there for the taking
These little girls, they make me feel so god damn exhilarated
I feel them up, I can't give it up
The pain that I'm just erasing

I tell my lies, and I despise
Every second I'm with you
So I run away and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you? 　

Your feelings
I can't help but rape them
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same
My heart inside is constantly hating
I'm sorry, I just throw you away 　

I don't know why I'm so fucking cold
I don't know why it hurts me
All I wanna do is get with you and make the pain go away
Why do I have a conscience?
All it does is fuck with me
Why do I have this torment?
All I wanna do is fuck it away 　

I tell my lies, and I despise
Every second I'm with you
So I run away and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you? 　

Your feelings
I can't help but rape them
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same
My heart inside is constantly hating
I'm sorry, I just throw you away 　

I tell my lies, and I despise
Every second I'm with you
So I run away and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you? 　

Your feelings
I can't help but rape them
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same
My heart inside is constantly hating
I'm sorry, I just throw you away 　

(I) Just throw you away
(I) Just throw you away
(I) Just throw you away
(I) Just throw you away


This shit right here is for you.
All your faces I can see;
You all think it's about me;
I'm about to break.
This is my fate.
Am I still damned to a life
Of misery and hate?
You, you'll never know
What I'd do for you.
What you all
Put me through;
I do it for you.
I could (have)
Never (lived)
If it wasn't...
For you.


Everyone is looking at me
I can't get out of bed, there is evil in my head
Everyone just let me be
Because when I hit the stage, it is gone and I am free 　

God dam you say you'll get up for me
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me 　

God dam you say you'll get up with me
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me
You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me 　

Tell me, how could this fade?
I am going insane, and I cry, it helps my pain
Everyone please let me be
Because when I hit the stage, it is gone and I am free 　

God dam you say you'll get up for me
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me 　

God dam you say you'll get up with me
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me
You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me 　

I feel the shame
I'm not insane
The things I feel now
Aren't the same
Who gives a fuck, if my life sucks?
I just know one thing
I won't give up 　

Everyone just let me be [x3]　

God dam you say you'll get up for me
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me 　

God dam you say you'll get up with me
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me
You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me

Be there, for me? [x4]


I am watching the rise and fall of my salvation
there is so much shit around me, such a lack of compassion

I thought it would be fun and games
instead it's all the same
I want something to do
need to feel the sickness in you

I feel the reason as it's leaving me no not again
it's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad

All I do is look for you, I need my fix you need it too
just to get some sort of attention... attention

What does it mean to you?
For me it's something I just do
I want something
I need to feel the sickness in you

I feel the reason as it's leaving me no not again
it's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad

I feel the reason as it's leaving me no not again
it's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad


Fu.., fu.. fu.., I got this bad cold
And I got a life, I live it up
I live it up 　

(It's gonna go away) 　

I don't want this to go away
I'm so scared (oh so scared)
I can't think of going on
We all crumble
We crumble under pressure (pressure)
Pressure (It's still gonna go away) 　

.... go live it up
We're livin it up　

(It's gonna go away..)


Wake the fuck up! [x8]

Each day, more frightening
All of us wanna die
The pressure's tightening
I don't even want to try

Should I take all the stupid bullshit
What makes them think they can get away with it?
I'm not happy
I wish they'd just...

Wake the fuck up! [x4]

I can't take no more
What are we fighting for?
You are my brothers
Each one I would die for
Please just let it go
All our heads are blown
Let's take the stage
And remember what we are playin' for

No more fighting!
I swear I'm gonna leave
Talking shit to spite me
I wish we'd just..

Wake the fuck up! [x4]

I can't take no more
What are we fighting for?
You are my brothers
Each one I would die for
Please just let it go
All our heads are blown
Let's take the stage
And remember what we are playin' for [x3]

Remember why are we playin' for [x3]


Am I going crazy?
Am I insane and dazed?
Am I too lost to face it?
And what will it cost
To escape?
Nothing is right


Let me see (let me see)
All my life has been (taken)
Taken
This demon (haunts me)
Haunts me
They’re waiting (help me)
Help me 　

You fuck me up
I'm gagged and bound
You pick me up
When I am down
I cannot live without them
I do not live without them 　

Hey daddy (daddy)
They are taking me, away
Putting things in me (my soul)
My soul
They’re eating, please help me 　

You fuck me up
I'm gagged and bound
You pick me up
When I am down
I cannot live without them
I do not live without them 　

They carry this thing inside of me
Wants to get out
All it does is scream and shout
I'm trying not to let them out
They tell me to hurt myself [x3]
But I'm not gonna listen

You fuck me up
I'm gagged and bound
You pick me up
When I am down
I cannot live without them
I do not live without them 　

Hey daddy
They are taking me
This demon


I can't stand to let you in
I'm just watching you
And I don't know what to do
Feeling like a fool inside
Feeling all the lies you hide
Thought you were my friend
Seems it never ends 　

I need somebody, someone
Can’t somebody help me?
All I need is to be
Loved just for me

Giving you this and that
Giving, get nothing back
It's all related to
All the things I do
Feeling like a fool inside
Seeming all the things you tried
I am nothing 　

I need somebody, someone
Can’t somebody help me?
All I need is to be
Loved just for me

I look
I sign
I need
Someone
Inside
To help
Me out
With what
I'm trying
I'm crying
I'm frying
In a pile of
Shit
I'm dying
I'm dying 　
I'm dying 　

I need somebody (someone)
Somebody (somebody)
Someone
I need somebody (someone)
Somebody (somebody)
Someone
Someone


Lately things won't go my way
Lately everything is grey
It feels like something
It feels like nothing 　

So I came too far
To end up this way
Feeling like I'm gone
Feeling there's no way 　

So I'm angry for today
Anger's the only thing I've made
It feels like something
No it's nothing

So I came too far
To end up this way
Feeling like I'm gone
Feeling there's no way 　

To live this way
Hating, feeling, falling
To the place where people haunt me
I can't help but keep from falling to the place where people know me
I can't wait
To give them these feelings of hating
Keeping inside me
For all to take
Picking at me
They're ripping at me
Ripping at me 　

So I came too far
To end up this way
Feeling like I'm gone
Feeling there's no way 　

To live this way 　
To live this way


When it's crying, takes me to a certain place which I don't often find
I see a family walking always thinking of being somewhere else in time
So I fall face down in a rut I can't seem to get out of
Please wake me, please give me some of it back, the feelings that I had 　

Sometimes I wish I could be strong like you
It doesn't matter
Each time I wake I'm somehow feeling the truth
I can't handle 　

Let's get this party started, I'm sick of begging you
You make me dead inside which I give to you
Let's get this party started, You make me feel inside
I want to be the one to make myself sane

Time is ticking, It makes me feel content with what I have inside
Constant paranoia surrounds me, everyone I see is out to get me 　
So I fall face down in a rut I can't seem to get out of
Please wake me, please give me some of it back the feelings I had 　

Sometimes I wish I could be strong like you
It doesn't matter
Each time I wake I'm somehow feeling the truth
I can't handle

Let's get this party started, I'm sick of begging you
You make me dead inside which I give to you
Let's get this party started, You make me feel inside
I want to be the one to make myself sane

You make me feel inside 　


I am going insane
This shit is all of a pain
I cannot maintain as the shit gnaws at my brain
I wish you could be me
And then as you would see
How tired I am and how she kept the best of me

At least you could look at me
While you're raping me
You are taking my life and selling it, tehehe
Why should I complain
At least it helps my pain
I am very cool now
And theres gossip 'bout my fame

I am going insane
This shit is all of a pain
I cannot maintain as the shit gnaws at my brain
I wish you could be me
And then as you would see
How tired I am and how you get the best of me

At least you could look at me
While you're raping me
At least you could look at me while you're raping me

You fuckin pussy!!!


I came back to face what's growing in my head
Please get away from me
Take advantage of what I feel, yes you do
One day you'll beg for me 　

So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all my pain
You will be there counting 　

You just see me as something you throw around
You weren't there for me
Beating down to the ground
Yes it always seems
You take more from me 　

So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all my pain
You will be there counting 　

It's funny how we've just started
They get the money for the things on you
They give ya money, and the girls and the fame
I only do it for the fun and the games 　

It's funny how we've just started
They get the money for the things on you
They give ya money, and the girls and the fame
I only do it for the fun
That's my game 　

So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all my pain
You will be there counting


Keep knocking.
No one's there.
Pouring down.
NEAR BE FELT

I'm out here, by myself.
All alone.
Ready to blow my head off.
I hurt so bad inside.
I wish you could see the world through my eyes.
Each day is the same.
I just wanna laugh again.

Keep hoping.
Nothing to spare.
So my life.
Isn't quite there.
Feel like a whore.
A dirty whore.
Such a whore.
Dirty.

I'm out here, by myself.
All alone.
Ready to blow my head off.
I hurt so bad inside.
I wish you could see the world through my eyes.
Each day is the same.
I just wanna laugh again.

I'll take it
I'll take it
I will take it it to me.

You dirty little fuck.
Dirty little fuck.
You dirty little fuck.
Dirty little fuck.
You dirty little fuck (I will take it).
Dirty little fuck (I will take it).
You dirty little fuck (I will take it).
Dirty little fuck (I will take it).

Each day is the same.

Just wanna laugh again.
Just wanna laugh again.
