Bottled Up Inside

Korn · Untouchables

It ain't fading
Man I got to let it out
Am I crazy?
Screaming nothing ever comes out
I keep feeling lost
I'll never find my way out
I'm not thanking them
Unless the truth can pour out

Give me some courage
Beating me down now for sometime
Are you laughing?
Am I funny?
I hate in sly
I hate in sly

I take this time
To let out whatÂ’s inside
Cause I will break
Sometimes I wish you'd die
Full of sorrow
You raped and stole my pride
And all this hate is bottled up inside

My heart is breaking
Man you really ripped it out
You take pleasure watching as I claw my way out

The hurt rising
Soon it's going to tear my soul out
ItÂ’s not kosher feeling like IÂ’m on my way out

Give me some courage
Beating me down for sometime
Are you laughing?
Am I funny?
I hate in sly
I hate in sly

I'll take this time
To let out whatÂ’s inside
Cause I will break
Sometimes I wish you'd die
Full of sorrow
You raped and stole my pride
And all this hate is bottled up inside

Feeling the haze as they cut down my spine
Peeling your flesh like the way you've cut mine
Do you feel happy you fucked up my mind?
YouÂ’re going to pay this time

I'll take this time
To let out whatÂ’s inside
Cause I will break
Sometimes I wish you'd die
Full of sorrow
You raped and stole my pride
And all this hate is bottled up inside
I'll take this time
To let out whatÂ’s inside
Cause I will break
Sometimes I wish you'd die
Full of sorrow
You raped and stole my pride
And all this hate is bottled up inside
