Have you ever heard the song Purity? Did you know that Corey Taylor wrote it after a true story.
Purity, SlipKnoT (Sorry if it doesnt work. I dont have the pleasure of sound on my computer so i cant check.)
Purity
Maze...psychopathic daze...I create this waste
Back away from tangents, on the verge of drastic
ways...can't escape this place...I deny your face
Sweat gets in my eyes, I think I'm slowly dying
Put me in a homemade cellar
Put me in a hole for shelter
Someone hear me please, all I see is hate
I can hardly breathe, and I can hardly take it
HANDSONMYFACEOVERBEARINGICAN'TGETOUT
Lost...ran at my own cost...hearing laughter, scoffed
Learning from the rush, detached from such and such
Bleak...all around me, weak...listening, incomplete
I am not a dog, but I'm the one your dogging
I am in a buried kennel
I have never felt so final
Someone find me please, losing all reserve
I am ******** gone, I think I'm ******** dying
You all stare, but you'll never see
There is something inside me
There is something in you I despise
Cut me - show me - enter - I am
willing and able and never any danger to myself
Knowledge in my pain, knowledge in my pain
Or was my tolerance a phase?
Empathy, out of my way
I can't die
The true story of Purity.Corey Tayler:
"I still think its real -see the thing whether it's true or not, it's a real story- that we read about -that ******** our whole world up -can you imagine a girl being buried in a box and having all this lecherous bullshit drip down on her from this guy? and thinking that there is hope, because this kid is taking some bizarre note to this guy he doesn't even know- thinking that you are holding on to the shirt of hope -and you wake up and you're dead you're buried in mud -they find the note about a week later shoved in a library book for gods sakes -it just hurts your head- it's a case of what is good and bad in people- the box alone is reason enough to be like, 'I cant stand to be ******** human'- how can someone ******** do this to somebody? What is inside of us that is so ******** wrong? he had written quotes from Edgar Allen Poe and lots of ******** up things on the box."
