[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

[Chorus 1]
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

[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
[Chorus 1]
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
