Spike in My Veins Lyrics
We are the ones taking all the pain
Falling on our faces they don't care anyway, anyway, now
You're the one that makes me feel like I'm alive
You're the one that pushes me all the time, all the time, now
We are hard at play
Always praised to do what they say
Calling me to rage
Feeling power, I must take its place some way
[Chorus]
(Oh)
Never gonna run, away seeking out my path
But the pain always gets in the way (Oh)
Slowly watch me die, I'm insane so dangerous
Don't you dare get in my way (Oh)
Throwing in the towel got me strained, so betrayed
Get the fuck out of my way (Oh)
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
[Verse 2]
We are the ones reaching out in vain
Trying to solve our problems they won't go away, go away now
You're the one that makes me feel like I'm alive
You're the one that pushes me all the time, all the time, now
We are hard at play
Always praised to do what they say
Calling me deranged
Feeling power, I must take its place some way
(Oh)
Never gonna run, away seeking out my path
But the pain always gets in the way (Oh)
Slowly watch me die, I'm insane so dangerous
Don't you dare get in my way (Oh)
Throwing in the towel got me strained, so betrayed
Get the fuck out of my way (Oh)
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
[Bridge]
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
[Chorus]
(Oh)
Never gonna run, away seeking out my path
But the pain always gets in the way (Oh)
Slowly watch me die, I'm insane so dangerous
Don't you dare get in my way (Oh)
Throwing in the towel got me strained, so betrayed
Get the fuck out of my way (Oh)
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins

Jonathan Davis explained the inspiration behind this song and its music video:
We are all so caught up in watching crazy media on the internet and TV that we are manipulated into ignoring that our privacy has all but disappeared.
He separately said:
I think that our government uses those people to detract from what’s really going on. The thing with the whole Miley Cyrus stuff at the VMAs, when that went down Obama passed a law that made him basically a dictator. He can imprison whoever he wants. He doesn’t have to charge them, he can hold them as long as he wants.
