Staind is a four-piece alternative band from Springfield, Massachusetts. Staind self-released their debut album, Tormented, in November 1996. Their second album, Dysfunction (produced by Fred Durst and released on Elektra Records), was their breakthrough record, and has sold more than two million albums in the United States. However, it was the release of the single "Outside" off of The Family Values Tour '99 compilation that sent Staind into superstar status. With heartbreaking lyrics and great acoustic guitar, the single garnered massive radio airplay and was a major force behind sending Staind's next album, Break the Cycle, into multiplatinum status.

Fray Lyrics

Staind

I know that it never goes away
All I feel, everything I'm not today
So I try and I try to make everything right
I don't feel like I'm doing it, it affects me

You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say?
You're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day
Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While the TV defecates
And blindly walk wherever they lead you
While the edges slowly fray

I know that everything can change
What I need is to open up again
Ao never will I look back in vain
'Cause today's not the past,
I don't even need to relieve it

Are you satisfied?
I've given it all I can
And are you pacified
Or do you want more from me?

I've learned that this life's not just a game
Just a line between the pleasures and the pain
