[Verse 1]

I thought I knew what provocation was

I thought I knew what provocation was

I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason

[Pre-Chorus]

It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer

And like a knife, I've been gunshot

It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer

And like a knife, I've been gunshot

Gotta let it go, gotta let it go, gotta let it go, yeah

It's in my stomach like fire

In my stomach like cancer

In my stomach like a knife, I've been gunshot

[Chorus 1]

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out

[Verse 2]

My only antidote to mental suffering

Is physical pain

I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason

I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason

[Pre-Chorus]

It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer

And like a knife, I've been gunshot

It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer

And like a knife, I've been gunshot

Gotta let it go, gotta let it go, gotta let it go, yeah

It's in my stomach like fire

In my stomach like cancer

In my stomach like a knife, I've been gunshot

[Chorus 2]

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out, out, out

[Guitar Solo: Dimebag Darrell]

[Chorus 2]

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out, yeah

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out, out, out, out, out!
