One (Live from ”MTV ICON: Metallica”) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside, I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing's real but pain now

[Chorus 1]
Hold my breath as I wish for death!
Oh please God, wake me!

[Verse 2]
Back in the womb, it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

[Chorus 2]
Hold my breath as I wish for death!
Oh please God, wake me!
Now the world is gone, I'm just One!
Oh, please help me!
Hold my breath as I wish for death!
Oh please God, help me!

See Korn Live

Get tickets as low as $34

[Outro]
Darkness imprisoning me!
All that I see!
Absolute horror!
I cannot live!
I cannot die!
Trapped in myself!
Body my holding cell!
Landmine has taken my sight!
Taken my speech!
Taken my hearing!
Taken my arms!
Taken my legs!
Taken my soul!
Left me with life in Hell!
