nothing
What is it you want
from me
I've nothing to give
You've taken everything
You didn't leave me
shit.
Not even worth men-
tioning
Not even worth a
thought
Not even worth the pain
Not worth speaking of.
I thought that once I
meant something
But now I see I'm noth-
ing - Nothing.
What is this you've
done to me
What is it you thrive
Do you enjoy making
me
Feel unalive.
Not even worth men-
tioning
Not even worth a
thought
Not even worth the pain
Not worth speaking of.
I thought that once I
meant something
But now I see I'm noth-
ing - Nothing.
It's you'll always love,
I know you don't care,
You left me, in despair.
Why do I feel this way
Why I even care
I have no self esteem
There's nothing there
I'm so unimportant
- insignificant -
The way I truly feel
Makes no difference.
I wish for once I could
be something
But I guess I'll always
be your nothing -
Nothing.
It's what I'll always be
- Nothing.
forever torn
I am alone
My grief is lost
I'm shrouded in despair
I'm cast into shade
I hear tragic serenades
And her promise stings
In the black of my mind.
Her promise stings with
tears in my eyes
With tears in my eyes
So sadden and worm
So sadden and worm
Set me free of this pain
Set me free of this pain
I forever torn
I forever torn
I fade to black
Escape memories that
burn
Paradise is drowning
Deep in waters of
lether… ya.
Unremembered harmo-
ny
Massacre adoration
Deviated truth
Sink into oblivion.
Her luke warm amorous
So lucid and clear
Tender hands to ravage
claws
Rippin out my heart.
This pain is forever with
tears in my eyes
With tears in my eyes
So sadden and worm
So sadden and worm
Set me free of this pain
Set me free of this pain
I forever torn
I forever torn
black soil nest
Black soil nest
Where she remains
Harmony cracked
When she died
You know what I've
always enjoyed
Was the smeel of the
dead - ya.
Remember her promise
Together forever
Net even death
Will keep us apart.
Like a moth to a blame
I'm drawn to her
I hunger for her touch
I long for her
I never could under-
stand that boy's
obsession with dead
things.
Black soil - nest -
Black soil - nest.
Like a moth to a blame
I'm drawn to her
I hunger for her touch
I long for her
The time has come
To be reunited
Down in this grave
Here caress is cold.
Like a moth to a blame
I'm drawn to her
I hunger for her touch
I long for her
Black soil - nest -
Black soil - nest
Black soil - nest -
Black soil - nest
promise
Promise:
Tell me why you've
become so damned
unconsenting. The way
you make me feel
is so con descending…
so help me!
Cross my heart hope to
die, you swore on
your God, You never
told a lie.
So commit yourself to
me
Under hand and seal
Undertake this sacred
oath
Immolate this deal
On your word of honour
Consummate this pact
Bind yourself with me
Finalise the act.
Promise me… promis-
es… promising…
promise me the world.
Promise me… promis-
es… promising…
promise me the world.
Make vows you won't
keep
I can't trust in your
word
If you think you can
fool me
Then you must be
absurd
You say you've been
faithful
On this you swear
There's nothing to see
Cause nothing there.
Do you really expect me
to give credence
to this deception, when
I know your truth
is nothing but perver-
sion.
You think you can lie to
me
And get away with it all
You think that I'm a jerk
Can't believe your gall
I should have always
known
It would never last
I'll never forget
Lies from the past…
bitter end
You say I'm so different
So apathetic and smug
What the fuck do you
expect
After what you have
done.
The way I live my life
To the bitter end
Full of hate and rage
To the bitter end
I truly hate you
I fucking despise you…
Don't ask forgiveness
You won't get shit from
me
I don't forgive, I don't
forget
You won't get off, that
easy.
The way I live my life
To the bitter end
Full of hate and rage
To the bitter end
I truly hate you
I fucking despise
you…!
I can't believe what
you've done
After all I thought we'd always
be together
Forever together - to
the bitter end
You told me so many
fucking lies
You've become such a
fucking whore
I won't take your shit
anymore
I won't take your shit
anymore.
You say I'm so hostile
A malicious spiteful jerk
Well my unloving bitch
That's how I act when
I'm hurt.
The way I live my life
To the bitter end
Full of hate and rage
To the bitter end
I truly hate you
I fucking despise
you…!
That's right you stupid
cunt…
I fucking hate you to the
bitter end!
unnameable
She's so degrading
Immoralizes
She's so deceitful
Shot full of lies
With open arms
She pulled me in
She spread her legs
So full of sin.
Impure wanton whore
unfaithful cunt
Lustful seductive bitch
She knows what I want.
She's so lascivius
Totally obscene
She's so promiscuous
And so unclean
With both hands
She pulled out my heart
Stood back and laughed
Tore me apart…
Insidious wicked wench
The female fatale
Sadistic vicious slut
She brings me hell.
Don't you ever speak -
her name
Don't you ever say -
unnameable
Hope you never do -
the same
Hope you never meet -
unnameable
You'll see her mark
Reprehensible stain
Just forbidden name.
Don't you ever speak -
her name
Don't you ever say -
unnameable
Won't you hear my
words - Christ
Won't you ever learn -
why
Why!
where dwells sadness
Why make a promise
you won't keep
You know I don't
believe in your lies.
(dialog)
You lied (all lies) you
bend the truth
I'm blind (so blind) I'm
such - a fool
Why even say you'll be
with me forever
You know forever's
never forever.
(dialog)
I'm depressed
(depressed) with a
heavy heart
No hope (so hopeless)
I'm at - a loss.
Suffer me… (suffering)
Unto this… agony
Drown me… (drown-
ing)
In depths of misery.
Broken down (so bro-
ken) in grim -visage
Watch me laugh (I'm
laughing)
On the wrong side of
the mouth.
Suffer me… (suffering)
Unto this… agony
Drown me… (drown-
ing)
In depths of misery.
I feel the sorrow so deep
inside
This anguish I suffer
from all your lies
I seek release from all
this madness
Shrouded in despair -
consumed by
sadness.
Suffer me… (suffering)
Unto this… agony
Drown me… (drown-
ing)
In depths of misery.
I believed her, she lied
Where dwells - sad-
ness, inside of me
Where stems madness,
in… me!
She lied.
suffering
I suffer
And writhe in pain
The agony I feel
Bares your name
I'm trapped
In this hell you create
Your lack of love
Fuels my hate.
I live for tomorrow
But I die each day
I'm lost in sorrow
Take the suffering away
I remember when there
wasn't any pain
I remember when it did-
n't hurt.
I laugh
At the promise you
made
The stab in the back
I scream
At your lies and all
The depth of this mis-
ery
From the nightmare you
cause…
I'll show you what its
like to suffer
Know what its like to
wanna die
Take your life - suicide
This agony you caused
me
I need to end - the suf-
fering
Suffer - suffering - suffer
inner demon
I infest your mind
You're not a part of me
I posses your soul
Get the fuck out of me
Twisted voice from
deep inside
Twisting shemes in my
mind
No room for reason
Screams my inner
demon - inner demon.
I enhance your hate
You just bring me pain
I distort your love
Its already been slain
Broken feelings trans-
form my thoughts
Mistaken senses begin
to rot
No chance to reason
With my inner demon.
Omn - presence felt -
everywhere it dwells
Sanity departs - domi-
nation starts -ya
inner demon.
I control your life
You've already begun
I command your being
It's already been done
Grotecque visions
become so real
Distorted dreams now
prevail
I now have reason
To unlock this demon.
I have opened your
mind
I unite with you
I now own your soul
I give myself to you
Understand what its all
for
Realise its how I endure
Done for this reason
Release my inner
demon.
