Staind - A Flat Lyrics






Trust In me can't trust
I know, I don't believe it
All my life so scarred
what for, you can't conceive it
Everything you fear
I'll be, you couldn't live it
I whisper in your ear
so loud, why can't you hear it

I'm OK

All my faith is gone
you think I couldn't find it
Pieces falling down
shattered, nothing behind it
In my mind alone,
Lost here I'm separated
Crawl deeper in my hole
safe here from what I hated

All the demons in my head won't leave me
I know I can hear them
All the sacrifices made for nothing
Don't show can't believe it
Want to show that I'm good for something
I can't you won't let me
All your artificial words won't heal me
Because you can't accept me

And I hate myself
And I hate my face
And I hate my world
And I hate my ways

And I
And I
And I

I'M NOT OK!

I'm OK

Trust In me can't trust
Iknow, I don't believe in
All my life so scarred
what for,you can't conceive it
Everything you fear
I'll be, you couldn't live it
I whisper in your ear
why can't you feel it

All the demons in my head won't leave me
I know I can hear them
All the sacrifices made for nothing
Don't show can't believe in
Want to show that I'm good for something
I can't you won't let me
All your artificial words won't heal me
Because you can't accept me

I don't believe it [2x]

Staind A Flat Comments
  1. W.... R....

    Self expression in an artistic form as this has to be the best therapy available. It definitely helped me when I wasn't ok & is still a great song..

  2. T.... ....

    Staind got me through my depression about 18-19 years ago when I lost my job and my wife had several miscarriages. I felt I couldn’t talk to anyone about it, because as a man I was taught, men don’t cry they get stuff done. They sung about what I was feeling at the time and it felt like I wasn’t alone. This song was one of my favorites. And as such, it’s hard for me to listen to like so many of the songs from their first album. I’m better now, but I can’t still remember the emotions I felt when their music was my life line. They will always be an important part of my life.

  3. B.... Z....

    this song doesn't get old.

  4. r.... h....

    saw these guys twice during this period, never played A Flat, always wondered if it was because it's so damn dark, and success was getting them out of the darkness, maybe they didn't want to focus on this stuff, either way, one of my faves!

  5. G.... H....

    🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

  6. W.... C....

    Aaron are you ok are you ok Aaron

  7. C.... W....

    ALL THE SACRIFICES MADE FOR NOTHING!!!!

  8. A.... W....

    They should have stopped after this album

  9. X.... P....

    I think these lyrics are so true this is so exactly how I feel!!!!!

  10. J.... V....

    He's really getting the demons out...that's why I play it

    J.... V....

    Hell yeah

  11. P.... e....

    I'm not ok but I'm trying hard

    P.... e....

    Fight the pain and I will fight mine!!!!! I understand!!!!!

  12. J.... W....

    All your artificial words won't heal meeee BECAUSE YOU CAN'T ACCEPT ME!!!! Like a hard right hook straight to the jaw of everyone that's judged me. ❤

    J.... W....

    Same here brother

    J.... W....

    I fucking agree no one knows how anyone else feels!!!!!... and unless you have dealt with pain on a level most never reach in a lifetime..and when you hear other people's comments... that's when you internally say... whatever!!!!! Because most people don't get it, and nor do they take the time out to give a shit!!!!! YES and to all my haters and to all haters and fake assed people of this world, I say the same thing as these lyrics state so vividly!!!!!

  13. T.... C....

    This song is a fucking banger, by far their most underrated, gives me serious Alice In Chains vibes

    T.... C....

    Dysfunction is an Alice in Chains replica. This whole album reeks of Alice in Chains. Raw. Uncut. Hardcore.

  14. J.... D....

    Man, they come heavy with these guitars. I love it!

  15. m.... k....

    100 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Mushok is such a beast. Love his work.

  26. e.... ....

    Is he ok or not ?

  27. C.... a....

    Man this fucking song gets me through hard times

  28. M.... R....

    Mike Mushok is the boss. Gets his sound from his sweet baritone guitars.

    M.... R....

    Michael Rainer yea he was recording on his Novax baritone guitars the ones that are fanned frets

  29. D.... P....

    This song has been with me since I was 17. I'm a grown ass man now and this song still resonates with me as the stand out track off this album

    D.... P....

    Doug Prishpreed ditto bro!

    D.... P....

    same - was 14 now i'm 34.

  30. K.... A....

    FUCKING FAVORITE. Whoever disliked this song has taste for shit, like almost twenty years later and this song comes right into me and makes me feel understood, which makes me feel better. Aaron Lewis is legendary.

  31. O.... f....

    Dysfunction the only album by staind I can call heavy metal and I can say it's there best too

    O.... f....

    Ohio fish1 no obviously you never heard tormented

    O.... f....

    Totally agree. Tormented is not as good of audio quality

    O.... f....

    Tormented is the best! then Dysfunction. Both kick ass severely!

  32. S.... E....

    the greatest staind album

  33. D.... N....

    That awkward moment when you get an ad for depression pills after picking this song

    D.... N....

    So true!!!!!

  34. S.... B....

    he's the best

  35. R.... B....

    now aaron lewis does country.....definitely not ok

    R.... B....

    Ross Bond yep...I'd do anything to bring them back to the future and spill some emo slerpys .....

    R.... B....

    I concur

    R.... B....

    His country stuff isn't bad at all. His country music is more legit country music than the shit you hear on the radio. I think its great.

    R.... B....

    Hes a country boy lol i grew up in a small country town and knew emo kids who were country its not a style its a lifestyle

    R.... B....

    His country is great, y'all armchair rockstars maybe should make some albums

  36. R.... N....

    seen them 3× promoting Dysfunction......never disappointed

  37. M.... ....

    Who thinks I should perform this via guitar on an open-mic night? 30+ thumbs up and we'll do it, ppl. I'll even send you the video. Incentives always make the chocolate factory go round, don't they? Oh, and don't worry. I know this song like the back of my hand.

    M.... ....

    hey Billy Wanksta, did you do it or no?

    M.... ....

    Did you ever do it?... Or did you chicken out...lolz

    M.... ....

    Ooo please

    M.... ....

    I hope you actually did it

    M.... ....

    He did it, look up " a flat Staind cover" and he's got a video up now

  38. D.... M....

    my opinion their best song

    D.... M....

    Daniel McCormick I agree.

  39. H.... M....

    @hero7641, dont know if youre right.
    But not one of the spiritual songs, too static and a little bit dark.
    Stay clean, H.M.

  40. r.... ....

    something tells me hes not really ok

    r.... ....

    That would him, right before he says he's OK.

  41. T.... H....

    the best

  42. B.... B....

    Sick ass album with sick ass tracks that have a sick ass sound.

  43. L.... M....

    Awesome song. !!!!!!!

  44. R.... _....

    Best track on the album hands down. I'll always say i love Staind but like any other normal human beings in a band who evolve, i respect.

  45. T.... l....

    Great stuff

  46. J.... E....

    I DONT BELIEVE IT!!!!

    J.... E....

    S.... ....

    Some yuppy that was like "it sounds angry"

  50. M.... ....

    This song can make me cry.. But only if I change some of the lyrics while singing it

  51. L.... ....

    all the demons in my head won't leave me..i know, i can hear them..

    L.... ....

    The fucked up part is that know feeling....kinda scared

    L.... ....

    its because aaron's had schizophrenia

  52. M.... C....

    Definitely one of my favorites off this album. I remembering hearing Mud shovel at the walmart music station years ago and I was hooked  

  53. Z.... H....

    Hidden Track.  Excess Baggage

  54. c.... ....

    god this song brings back so many memories

  55. j.... m....

    A Flat is one of my favourites from the Dysfunction album. It took me a while to get into it though.
