Darkest Days is made up of four acts which stand for the different emotional phases one goes through after a break-up. The first 4 songs are about the ways you mess-up. The next 5 songs are about being hopeful and hoping they are still around. The next 3 songs are about hitting bottom and the last 4 songs are about emerging from darkness and sticking to what you believe.
There are times when I'm just a shell
Where I do not feel anything for anyone
All I feel is hollow and bruised
Used up and misused
Forced to be someone I don't want to be
Have I failed somehow or some way?
Will the weights of today finally pull me down to drown
In the depths of despair
Where I am alone except for my rage?
My rage, my pain
I hate my darkest days
My rage, my pain, I hate my darkest days (3x)
My darkest days
Everything I touch I break (2x)
Everything I touch and I break you down
The more I feel
The more I die
Nothing to give
Nothing inside
[Chorus]
Everything I touch I break (I want to break you) (2x)
Everything I touch I break (I want to break you down)
I scratch and tear
Until it bleeds
I do not want
I only need (3x)
Chorus
I want to touch you (repeat)
Back when you were my life
You gave me something that I could live for
Now everything's changed
And you're gone, but I'm still here waiting
[Chorus]
How can I live
With nothing to hold on to?
Why should I live
When there's nothing to hold on to?
Sex made me feel alive
But now I'm so full of mindless passion
Drugs are somewhere to hide
But they left me feeling cold and empty
Chorus
I thought you were my friend
That you were someone that I could turn to
Now I realize
That you were friends when you needed something
Chorus (repeat)
You seduced me, lonely in your hell
Naked, hungry, I'd crawl into your cell
Virtual drugstore is piled on the bed
I can't resist with your tongue inside my head
How can everything be justified by you?
(by you, by you, by you)
How can everything be justified by you?
(by you, by you, by you...)
You get off on watching me bleed
You get off on feeding my disease
But this time will be perfect you explain
Your tongue is deadly, a needle to my vein
How can everything be justified by you?
(by you, by you, by you)
How can my demise be justified by you?
(by you, by you, by you...)
I'm so tired of everything I touch
I'm so tired of needing you so much
How can everything be justified by you? (3x)
(by you, by you, by you,)
How can my demise be justified by you?
(by you, by you, by you)
When did I deserve to be crucified by you?
(by you, by you, by you)
How can everything be justified by you?
(by you, by you, by you) by you!...
I am lost
In the darkness
Between two worlds
And here I'm struggling
You're the light
That I've been seeking
Cause my whole life
There's been something missing
[Chorus]
Only you can make me whole
Just one touch and you complete me (repeat)
Rescue me
From this black hole
It sucked me in
And left me dying
You're the truth
That I've been seeking
Cause my whole life
I've been lying
Chorus
God I pray
You find me worthy
Of the right
To stand beside you
And of your truth
And of your passion
Of the right
To sleep beside you
Chorus
Just one touch, you complete me (2x)
Just one touch
I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So you're searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole
[Chorus]
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself (save yourself)
I know that you've been damaged
Your soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as fucked as you (I am just as fucked as you)
Chorus
Please don't take pity on me (4x)
My life has been a nightmare
My soul is fractured to the bone
And if I must be lonely
I think I'd rather be alone (I think I'd rather be alone)
You cannot save me
You can't even save yourself
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
Save yourself
So just save yourself
Everywhere I go I see your face
And every sound I hear
Is the sound of your voice
Why are you haunting me?
Why are you haunting me?
Why can't I let you
Go... go...
[Chorus]
Why are you haunting me? (4x)
Everything about me is a lie
Atleast it feels that way
when I look in your eyes now
The truth scares the shit out of me
Whoever said love is real or love is blind
Has never felt the way that I feel
What does it matter?
What's done is done
and I should get on with my life
Chorus
I don't know what it is
But I can't seem to make myself forget
Was it something that you said?
Or is it all the guilt inside my head?
Chorus (repeat)
I know I should have told you
I was so afraid you'd leave
And now there's nothing left to say
Well nothing that you'd believe
I never meant to hurt you
With the things I couldn't say
I'd promise you tomorrow
While denying you today
[Chorus]
These lies have torn my world apart (3x)
A darkness grows inside me
In fading shades of gray
All the colors of the world
Are slowly sucked away
I'm sinking ever deeper
To a place that's cold and black
I can't believe I've lost you
And you're never coming back
Chorus
Torn my world apart
Soon the night will take me
And save me from my pain
Cloak me in cold darkness
And help me lose your name
Chorus
Torn my world apart (3x)
Six o'clock in the morning
My head is ready to explode
I can't believe I made it home alive
I don't remember where I went or
What I was drinking
I know it made me sick
And I'm not denying that
I get this way
When I try to get over you
I get this way
When I try to get over you
[Chorus]
Sometimes it hurts so much to lose the one you love (2x)
I tried so hard to hate you
But it only makes things worse
I only end up hating myself
And as my hatred grows
So do the lies
It's hard to face the truth sometimes
God I feel so useless
God I hate myself
When I try to get over you
I hate myself
Will I ever get over you?
Chorus
And after all this time you'd think
I'd understand the way you feel
But no
I only think about myself
And it's driving me nuts
I always knew it would one day
Chorus (repeat)
I'm drowning in my faith
Nothing real
Nothing left
Nothing
I'm losing myself
Thinking
Deeper
Down
Silent
Believing
This behind
Nothing left
But me
I'm hating myself
Hating
Everyone hates
My mind
Everyone has changed
Everything has changed
Everyone has changed
But me
I keep breaking all the promises
That I keep making to myself
You'd think by now that I'd be over this
Instead I'm feeling sorry for myself
So why does everything seem desperate now?
I should be feeling so alive
But it feels like something's missing
Something's wrong somehow
It feels like something deep inside has died
So why do I feel desperate now?
Why do I feel like dying?
Why do I feel desperate now? (2x)
I keep breaking all the promises
That I keep making to myself
But promises mean nothing to me anymore
Circling betrayal, spiraling to hell
So why do I feel desperate now?
Why do I feel empty?
Why do I feel desperate now? (2x)
So this is where I say goodbye
This is where my story ends
And if there's one thing that I've learned from life
It's that it gets you in the end
And so goodbye my friend
Goodbye
Goodbye my friend
Goodbye
I know the tears you're crying
In your bed at night alone
I've cried those tears a thousand times
But those shallow empty songs about suicide are patronizing
You've got to learn to face your fears
Or do you think I'll be less lonely when I'm dead?
It can't silence all the voices in my head
I close my eyes but I can't make it go away
Do you think I'll be less lonely?
God I pray that I'm less lonely
When I'm dead (4x)
When I'm dead I won't feel any pain
Cause when I'm dead
I won't feel any thing
When I'm dead (4x)
I know the songs you're singing
Saying nothing loud and clear
I've heard that song a thousand times
But your shallow empty lies about suicide are patronizing
You can never understand what I feel
Do you think I'll feel less lonely when I'm dead?
It can't silence all the voices in my head
I close my eyes but I can't make it go away
Do you think I'll be less lonely?
God I pray that I'm less lonely
When I'm dead (4x)
Lost in a world of doubt and insecurity
Nothing that you hold sacred
Nothing you believe
Life is a contradiction
While you thrive on manipulation
I fight to just hold on to what I believe
[Chorus]
I won't become the thing I hate (3x)
I won't become you!
You've treated me like I'm a worthless piece of shit
You think you're in control
But you make me sick
I want to watch you suffer
The way that you made me suffer
I want to fuck up everything you've ever loved
Chorus (repeat)
I hope I see you on your way down
I hope you break every bone
I hope it kills you on your way down
And I hope you die alone
All of your hate and all of your lies
Will it be worth it?
When all of your friends refuse to be alibis
Will it be worth it?
I'll see you on your way down (3x)
It's kind of sad to watch you break down
You greedy fuck, you pissed it all away
So who will catch you on your way down?
You've only got yourself to blame
When all your worst fears materialize
Will it be worth it?
There's nobody left who cares you're alive
Was it worth it?
I'll see you on your way down (3x)
Way down (2x)
I'll see you on your way down (3x)
I've been so alone for so long
Forgotten by the world
Forgotten to myself
Your effervescent eyes have awakened me
And brushed the dust away
But I knew you'd never stay
So I memorized the color of your eyes
As I lost myself inside you
And I memorized the way our legs entwined
As I drifted off beside you
I miss
God, I miss
Waking up beside you
At night I cling to you
I'm so afraid
Afraid the day will come
And I'll wake and find you gone
But you promise that you'd not abandon me
And then kissed my fears away
But I woke up to that day
But I memorized the way our eyes would meet
Reflected in the bathroom mirror
And I memorized your naked silhouette
As you slowly brushed your hair
I miss
God, I miss
Waking up beside you
I've been so alone for so long
I forgot how much it hurts
To wake up so alone
And I memorized how warm your body felt
As you lay half-asleep beside me
And I memorized the way the sunlight filled the room
and played upon you body
I miss,
God, I miss,
Waking up beside you (repeat)
I'm such an asshole
God I'm such a stain
I just keep fucking up again and again
[Chorus]
I don't believe
I don't believe
That I could be so stupid and so naive
I don't believe
I don't believe
That there is nothing, nothing left for me
You crawled into my mind when you crawled into my bed
Said everything I've ever longed to hear
So perfect, so alive, once inside you sucked me dry
You used me up and left me here for dead
Chorus
I crave it desperately, it's a cancer eating me
An addiction too intense to be denied
Worthless, I'm a whore, crawling back for more
It's pathetic how I feed off this abuse
Chorus
I, I feel so stupid
You told me that you loved me
And I belived you loved me
You swore that you loved me
And I believed, now I know it was a lie
Now I know it was a lie (3x)
Chorus (repeat)
I only see myself reflected in your eyes
So all that I believe I am essentially are lies
And everything I've hoped to be or ever thought I was
Died with your belief in me so who that hell am I?
[Chorus]
I don't know if I'm real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
I'm wondering 'round confused, wondering why I try
The more that you deny my pain, the more it intensifies
I pray for someone to ache for me the way I ache for you
If you ignore that I'm alive
I've nothing to cling to
Chorus
I stare in this mirror, so tired of this life
If only you would speak to me or cared if I'm alive
Once I swore I would die for you, but I never meant it like this
I never meant like this, no, I never meant like this
Chorus
How can I exist without you?
You make it hard to breathe
It's as if I'm suffocating
And when you're next to me
I can feel your heartbeat through my skin
It makes me sad to think
This could all be for nothing
I wish there was a way
A way for you to see inside of me
I've never felt this way
About anyone or anything
Tell me...
[Chorus]
What do I have to do... to make you happy?
What do I have to do... to make you understand?
What do I have to do... to make you want me?
But if I can't make you want me
What do I have to do?
I know exactly what you're thinking
But I swear this time I will not let you down
I'm not as selfish as I used to be
That was a part of me that never made me proud
Right now I think I would try anything
Anything at all to keep you satisfied
God I hope you see what losing you would do to me
All I want is one more chance
Tell me...
Chorus
Just tell me... tell me
How can I... How can I... How can I...
Chorus
To forget about you?
I am not here
I think I've never
Been here at all or ever will
I feel like a place where no one goes anymore
Why can't you see that everything's broken
And why can't you see that my life's turned gray?
I can't believe in anything sacred
When I don't believe that I am real
[Chorus]
I need someone to break the silence
That's screaming in my head
And in my soul
It seems so bizarre
But none of this matters
Thoughts disappear, and hopes have died
But now I am safe, nothing can hurt me here
Why can't you see my need for forgiveness?
The truth and the lies so confused as one
I can't believe in anything sacred
When I don't believe in anything
Chorus
I am alone
Locked in my memories
There's nowhere left for me to hide
But I am not real
I've made all I am with lies
Why does it seem that everything's different?
And why does it seem that only you are real?
I don't believe in anything sacred
So, why do I feel so damn alone?
Chorus (repeat)
And in my soul (repeat)
I feel your lips
I taste your skin
I need to know
I need to feel you from within
As your blood burns through my skin
I feel complete
I breathe you in
It's where you end and I begin
If only I could stay here...forever
So much to tell you
So much to confide
Now that I'm inside you
We are flesh
We are one
So why do I feel so much guilt
For what I've done?
As your blood burns through my skin
I feel release
I breathe you in
It's where you end and I begin
If I could only stay here...forever
So much to tell you
So much to give you
So much to confide
Now that I'm inside (3x)
Inside you (repeat)
So much to teach me
So much to show me
So much to give me
So much to tell me...
I'm tangled and broken
Left scattered on the floor
It's useless now these pieces they
Can never make me whole
[Chorus]
This is where it falls apart
This is where it falls apart
I feel helpless as my everything comes
Crashing down on me
This is where it falls apart
This is where it falls apart
I feel helpless as my fucking world comes
Crashing down on me
You wither and you blister
I watch you burn and peel
It's not like you can save me
It's not like you even care
Chorus
(whispered: wasted, useless, pointless, scattered, broken, hopeless, tangled, shattered, whithered, blistered, tired, pointless, wasted, useless, scattered...)
I'm finding it so hard to hold on... (5x)
This is where it falls apart / I'm finding it so hard to hold on
I'm finding it so hard
Wasted thoughts of you
Desperate prayers to you
Give me back my mind
I'm empty inside
[Chorus]
It's so wrong that I need you
It's so wrong that I need abuse
And it's so wrong that I need you
So wrong that I'm scared I'll die alone
What have I become?
Everything's undone
A candle burns here in your honor
My soul, a shrine I've built for you
There's nothing left inside me
Nothing left inside but you
Chorus
Can't seem to pretend
This night needs to end
I can't fill this hole
You are all I know
Chorus
I'm feeling the weight of the world
And it's crushing me
I'm feeling the weight of everyday life
And it's crushing me
How much more will it take?
How much more until it breaks me?
This world... is crushing me... (repeat verse twice)
Is crushing Me
(whispered: I have spent every moment of my life since the day you left trying to rebuild the shattered remains of my pathetic life... working to become someone you could be proud of, someone you could love again. I have given you everything I have to give, well, everything taking into consideration your reluctance to accept anything I have to offer... I am tired of living my life for you, I am tired of living my life for everyone else in this fucking world. Hell, I am tired of living.)
I'm feeling the weight of the world
I'm feeling the hate of the world
And it's crushing me
I swallow the hate, betrayal and lies
Swallow it whole and shove it deep down inside of me
Feeling the weight of the world and it's crushing me
And it's crushing me (4x)
I swallow the hate, betrayal and lies
Swallow it whole and shove it deep down inside of me
How much more will it take?
How much more until it breaks me?
Feeling the weight of the world
And it's crushing me
She's been here so many times before
She can't remember
When she last felt anything at all
But this fear and anger
She stares intently at the door
Listens for his footsteps
She knows exactly what's in store
And the knowing makes it worse
[Chorus]
Floating high above her bed
Staring at her father's head
Wishing one of them were dead
So this hell could finally end (repeat)
When he calls her daddy's little girl
She doesn't hear him
When he crushes her
She can't feel
Her screams are silent
Hides in the corners of her mind
Where she plays contently
She leaves this nightmare far behind
She escapes inside her dreams
Chorus
I feel it slipping away (2x)
I gave it all, but no one cared
I feel it slipping away (2x)
My God it's slipping away
I gave it all and noone cared
I feel it slipping away
I feel it slipping (2x)
I feel it slipping away (3x)
No more pain, no more fear
I feel it slipping away
I feel it slipping (2x)
I feel it slipping away
I just can't learn to forget
Now I'm choking on the memories
Choking on regret
I tried, but I can't find a way
To untangle all the pieces
After they've been thrown away
I feel it slipping (3x)
I feel it slipping away
I will not suffer this loss
Of you again and again and again
I refuse to continue to live
In this perpetual nightmare
I decide it ends right here
I feel it slipping(3x)
I feel it slipping away
I feel it slipping... slipping
Everything is slipping away
Lost is all I will be
You are all I will be
Wasted, broken, promise, silent
Lies
So much of me is you. I don't know just who... I am
Now I just can't believe in myself or in anything
[Chorus]
And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me
I gave you my soul. I gave you control... of me
Now I just can't believe in myself or in anything
Chorus
Can't you just believe... you are my everything
Chorus (repeat)
Some nights I feel like I have died
Or something deep inside is dying
I try to understand my crimes
There's nothing here that really matters
[Chorus]
I don't want to believe in you
I can't believe in you
I don't want to believe in you
I can't believe in you
I don't want it, I don't need it
I don't want it, I don't need it
I don't want it, I don't need it
I don't want it, but I can't stop myself
Now endless questions fill my head
Some nights I'm frightened by the answers
No you can't hurt me, nothing's real
No pain you cause can last forever
Chorus
One night I swore I'd die for you
There's nothing else I'd rather die for
But I'll try to live another night
There's too much hate to be forgotten
Chorus
You are all I am, you are all I ever want to be
I think of you
A solitary cry echoes through my throat and through my mind
I think of you
[Chorus]
I think I woke up screaming
I had a dream that you still loved me
I think I woke up screaming
I think I woke up screaming again
For hours I'll just stare at my ceiling at nothing at all
and think of you
The candlelight through bells make shadows just like roses in my mind
and I think of you
Chorus
Could this last forever?
Or will I die?
Could this last forever?
Or will I die?
Just can I die?
Maybe I could try to take a bath and drink a little wine
and think of you
But probably I'll lie naked on the floor by candlelight
and I'll think of you
Chorus (repeat)
I think I woke up (repeat)
Screaming again
Your soul a stone,
The depths I wish I could have known
Dangerous, black and full of spite,
Thoughts of you fill my night
But now we lay naked on the floor
I'm lost, I'm drowning in your soul
I was searching for some answer in your eyes
I find malicious laughter and a love that has died
[Chorus]
You are haunting my reality
Your lies are the only truth that I believe
You are haunting my reality
Now everytime I think about you I die
Hatred runs through me marrow deep
I long to tear your eyes out in your sleep
This passion can lead to evil crimes
Do I kill you or do I choose to die?
Acid burn etched in my brain
Someone dies before I go insane
I was searching for some answer in your eyes
I find malicious laughter and a love that has died
Chorus
Lies... (repeat)
Oh!
Soon now you'll be gone
I wish to God I could've known
I love you I hate you every night
This longing for your soul has got me scared
But now we lay naked on the floor
I'm lost, I'm drowning in your soul
I was searching for some answer in your eyes
I find malicious laughter, hate, and lies fucking lies
Chorus (repeat)
You don't understand this, I think you never did
Silently I search for a reason to exist
I've found a way to feel you, I feel so fucking old
Your're burning up inside me, but I feel so fucking cold
[Chorus]
You are clutched tight in my fingers
You caress my skin so light
You are welling up inside me
You have finally freed yourself
You are flowing 'cross my pale skin
You are running down my arm
You are salty as I taste you
I have finally made you warm
I have finally made you warm
You stare at me so silent, you stare at me so cold
I think you stare right through me, that stare has made me old
I've found a way to feel you, I feel so fucking old
You're burning up inside me, I feel so fucking cold
Chorus
Take this... as an offering
Take this... as a sign
Take this... as an offering
How much can you take from?
How much can you take from me?
Take from Me.
I sink into this darkness, I sink into this cold
This emptiness is calling, I've nothing left to lose
I've found a way to kill you, I feel so fucking cold
You're burning up inside me, I feel so fucking old
Chorus
Take this... as an offering
Take this... as a sign
Take this... as an offering
How much can you take from?
How much can you take from?
Take this... as an offering
Take this... as a sign
Take this... as an offering
How much can you take from?
How much can you take from me?
The night is cold as I roam these streets
The air is thick with hints of coming rain
Your face flashes through my head, I swallow pain
So this is how it feels to be betrayed
[Chorus]
This is what it looks like
This is what it feels like
This is what it tastes like
This is what you've done to me
This is what it looks like
This is what it feels like
This is what it tastes like when
You throw this all away
Silent
You throw this all away
Laughing
You throw this all away
Oh... You throw this all away
The lake is rough as I sit quietly
Remembering how our life used to be
An angry vacant silence fills my head
Now all the empty promises are dead
Chorus
The night is old, the sky a shade of grey
Tears roll off my face die in the rain
An angry vacant silence fills my head
Now all the empty promises are dead
Chorus
You throw this all away
Silent
You throw this all away
Laughing
You throw this all away
Ah... You throw this all away
Ah... You throw this all away
You've left me with nothing left but questions
You left me here not knowing who I am
You've left me so much fucking time to hate you
You left me with no choice but to die
[Chorus]
Violent mood swings (6x)
Your voice whispers nearly all the time now
Reminding me just how worthless I am
Sometimes I just hear you laugh forever
I want you the fuck out of my head
Chorus
You're inside my pain inside my sorrow
I'd die for one last moment inside you
I miss you so fucking bad I am you
So whose god will fucking save me now
Chorus (repeat)
Now I'm so tired, so so tired of working this out
Going to give myself up, up to the truth of what this is
Take from me all of my blood, take from me all of my soul
This is the best thing I can do
Why is it me instead of you
I come down (2x)
Now this is real
I can't go back, caught up with everything here tonight
Going to fuck myself up, going to throw this away
Going to give this to you
First red on white, then red on red
I left my soul back in my bed
This is the best thing I can do
Why is it me instead of you
I come down (2x)
Late last night I tripped in violent shades of green
A thousand voiceless faces were chasing me
I ran through air as thick as glue
A thousand fucking faces that all look like you... ahh
Through night as black as hate my spirit fled
Through branches filled with thorns my eyes bled and bled
How could I ever hope to win this race
When everytime I close my eyes I see your face
When everytime I close my eyes (4x)
Just can't happen here (repeat)
| Violent Mood Swings | Plastic Jesus | POMF | Shame |
Come to me now (3x)
No!
Come to me now
He has the power, he calls us
He has touched you, he will take you (repeat)
Voices whisper softly in the darkness
Cries of accusation evil lies
Voices echo screaming, throbbing, laughing, come on
Peel back my skull and look inside
[Chorus]
Violent Mood Swings (6x)
Goddamn cop, ??? shit!
Footsteps echo heavy off the pavement
Violence burning brighter in my eyes
Life within the flesh still diving deeper
And a random victim businessman will die
Chorus
[Sample]
Relax! No! Come on! (4x)
You mustn't be afraid
Relax! No! Come on! (4x)
You mustn't be afraid
Someone screaming softly in the distance
I run to seek my refuge from the light
Until the darkness once more falls upon me, come on
I'll kill again to live another night
Chorus
[Sample]
He has the power, he calls us
He has touched you, he will take you (repeat)
Relax! No! Come on!
You mustn't be afraid (repeat)
Chorus (repeat)
Come to me now (repeat)
From the moment you're born
From the moment you're conceived
Your first step across the room
Until you first stand to pee
You're filled with hate, you're filled with lies
You're force fed foolish pride
One day you'll just wake up dead
And you'll dream you were never alive
[Chorus]
You fear (I'll kill you and send you to hell) life not death (repeat)
While you are busy watching Romper Room
Your kids are being brainwashed by Sesame Street
He's filled with hate, he's filled with lies
He's force fed foolish pride
One day he'll just wake up dead
And he'll dream he was never alive
Chorus (repeat)
"Today the poor is... as Mr.Bush would put it... are in deep doo-doo. The rich are fed up with the poor and if the poor don't shape up, the rich just aren't going to take it anymore."
Ahhhh! Who the fuck said that!
Get on your knees scumbag!
Quality fucking time sweetheart!
You call me angry. You call me a fool
I'm nobody's puppet. And I'm nobody's tool.
Tried it, they tried to fuck with my mind
And while the empire rots beneath you
You turn a blind eye
You get in your limo
Waving your flag
You've got no budget for aids victims
Cause it's the blacks and the fags
You live in your white house
Trading your stocks
While the homeless sleep outside
In a fucking cardboard box
[Chorus]
You'll get nothing and like it
You'll eat nothing and like it
You'll sleep nowhere and like it
You'll get nothing and like it
You'll like it a lot
[Sample]
"You are responsible and there will be no confusion, it's your crown. It will be sure ten necks will crack. Whips will strip your back bare to the bone. Your children will cry for you when they are slaughtered before your eyes. I am here nearly to tell you the day has come."
Get on your knees scumbag!
I'm sick and tired
Of this thieving race
You murderous, self-serving swine
You are a fucking disgrace
You tried to hurt me
You tried to fuck with my mind
But while your empire rots beneath you
I laugh till I die
Who the fuck said that! (3x)
Get on your knees scumbag!
Who the fuck said that!
Quality Fucking time sweetheart!
Chorus
Who the fuck said that! (2x)
Shame!
Top rung of the evolutionary ladder
The most effiecient predator in the food chain
Degrees in agriculture have reduced the ancient hunts
To sitting in your car at the drive thru at McDonald's
We control the future, but learn nothing from the past
We annihilate our species from within
[Chorus]
Your god gave you this earth
To build your cities of steel
He's granted you higher intelligence
To build new weapons that kill
You've built a kingdom of arrogance
Put your god at the throne
If your god were alive today
He should hang himself, should hang himself in shame
Do you think God is Dead? (repeat)
We rape and dig up the earth to claim it as our own
We kill the creatures that lived here first
So we can build our homes
We've coated the earth with concrete
Like some cancerous second skin
Toxic waste buried underground
We breed the poison within
Chorus
You're nothing, you're nobody (2x)
We kill for power, we kill in the name of love
We kill in jealous anger, we kill in maliciousness
We kill to defend our freedom
For the country you hold so dear
We kill to defend religion
In the name of the God you fear
But we even kill our children
Chorus
You're nothing, you're nobody (repeat)
My angel my reluctant whore
Decided she cant take no more
So lets fuck until we fall asleep
Please don't wake me when you leave
Just kiss me before you go
Kiss me before you go
Kiss me before you go
Promise me to kiss me before you go
Funeral but nobody's died
Dressed in black and black inside
In the morning you'll be gone
A stranger that I'll never know
Please kiss me before you go
Kiss me before you go
Kiss me before you go
Promise me to kiss me before you go
Itt's too hot now to fall asleep
So just lie here and watch you breathe
In the morning you'll be gone
Like everything I've ever loved
So please kiss me before you go
Kiss me before you go
Kiss me before you go......
Promise me to kiss me before you go
Before you go.
Innocence
Stumbling around
Holding onto anyone who'll hold on to you
Innocence
Is hurt again
But is it really worth the pain?
You are helpless
You are selfish
You are hollow inside
You are hopeless.......
Innocence
Lost along the way
To anywhere or anyone who'll hold on to you
Innocence
Is hurt again
But is it really worth the pain?
You are helpless
You are selfish
You are hollow inside
You are hopeless....
