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.

Sober Lyrics
Staind
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the patterns must we
Just because the son has come
Jesus won't you fucking whistle?
Something but the past is done
Jesus won't you fucking whistle?
Something but the past is done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary won't you whisper?
Something but the past is done
Mother Mary won't whisper?
Something but the past is done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me [repeat 5x]
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we fuck forever?
I just want to start this over
I want what I want [repeat 4x]
