Back away from tangents, on the verge of drastic
ways...can't escape this place...I deny your face
Sweat gets in my eyes, lash out at all I despise
Learning from the rush, detached from such and such
Bleak...standing on my feet...listening incomplete
I am not a dog, but I'm the one you dog
Never - ever - surrender - DESPISE
My state of mind gets so one-sided
Despise!
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
Never - ever - surrender - DESPISE
My state of mind gets so one-sided

It's "Never ever serated I won't allow it"

i'm pretty sure that's not the only mistake

Punk in drublic says... this song is the demo to purity and was writen before Corey read the Purity story (which turns out not to be even true, but still true to Corey) and before Corey changed it into the song Purity....
OK, first of all, corey wrote NONE of the music or lyrics, PAUL GRAY DID, which is why they don't know if they will do another album. And

i believe theres a sample of "as soon as that camera's off, he's gonna fuck that (little) dog" from a clown movie. i have the song, i'm quite positive

Yeah but that sample is from "Interloper". I have the song, i'm quite positive... ;)

I just want to know, why does everyone have to take a good song like this one, and just dig to deep into it. That just really bugs me.

meh. It's a site for song meanings, so what the hell? Purity got taken off of the Slipknot album, but at least we have Despise, which is better in my opinion. It's pretty much about being hated, and hating people back. Joey himself says that they were given the finger so much that when they started giving it to people, "it was ten times more vicious"

how do you fix lyrics?

Too bad this songs not around much- its a real good one!
Man, I sound like a hill billy! spits in a can

hhahahaha!!!
