    Lyrics:
    Your tongue is a dagger
    And I am bleeding
    My faded dreams were all for you
    And with one word
    And with just one word
    Choking the life
    I breathe my last
    And with one look
    And with just one look
    You hold the key to this heart of glass
    This is the withering
    I'm aging years in moments
    This is the path that leads
    To my demise
    Your tongue is a dagger
    And I am bleeding
    My faded dreams were all for you
    And with one word
    And with just one word
    You've shattered my world and crushed my soul
    And with one look
    And with just one look
    The rising sun has never felt so cold
    This is the suffering
    The echoes of your voice haunt
    This faded memory
    Is my demise
    Your tongue is a dagger
    And I am bleeding
    My faded dreams were all for
    And I feel this all too slow
    And I've been here for so long
    And I feel so empty
    As you walk away
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    I would give it all away
    For the chance to shine again
    I would freely pay the price
    For the touch of your hand
    And I feel this all too slow
    And I've been here for so long
    And I feel so empty as you walk away
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you become?
    What have you become?
    All is lost
    We are left with sorrow
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you become?
    What have you become?
    All is lost
    We are left with sorrow
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?
    What have you done?

      When this came out I bought the cd. Had the DVD with it inside. I found this last week and played the DVD an soon as Joey's part came on I started to cry. Faacckk do I miss him. Musical genius in my eyes. Could do it all. I say this because I then put the cd on. Instant goosebumps hearing Howard scream. Howard wasn't on Joey's team but hearing this track I really wish he was. Rob's team fucking killed it don't get me wrong , this is my favorite track on it. I'm only feeling selfish and wonder what having Joey thrown into this what have sounded like and created 🤔 Either way thank you Roadrunner for many many albums to help me push through my hardest years in life so far. Hope everyone has a kick ass day 🤘

    I bought the Deluxe version of this album when it first came out back in the early/mid 2000's. There was a DVD that came with it that showed the making of all of the songs and the insane mix of artists on each track. I still have it somewhere. Every time I come across it, I always throw the DVD in immediately and sit through the entire thing before continuing what I was doing. This album and the mix of artists for the songs was so well done, the only other album that came close was the live action "Spawn" album where the idea was similar with mixed bands/artists.

      The friend who introduced me to a lot of metal back in the day (I already listened to SOAD and a few other bands at the time but didn't know much about the metal scene) bought it when it came out and it was awesome.
      We watched the DVD but couldn't understand what's being said. The visuals still said a lot, but we were also missing a lot of context.
      What we didn't miss is how Waters was focused on tracking his solo in one take instead of chopping it up. That was great to watch.
      Also, when Joey first climbed on his kit introduced me to what blast beats were. Can't forget that.
      It's funny to think back at it now that I can watch the making of and understand what's being said. It of course made my enjoyment of it way better to finally get the context when I watched it for the first time with the ability to understand a couple of years ago.
      And still today, most of the album is comprised of bangers.
      Some of them I didn't like at the time, but my tastes evolved and now I like most of the album. And what was the writer's intent on the songs I didn't like.
      Wow, I didn't expect to have this much to say revisiting the album.
      Cheers from France! 🍻
