Lyrics
King of Nothing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was gone before you ever had a chance
Lost forever in your disapproving glance
I see your face
It's twisted with shock
Falling from grace
You deserve what you got
The ice surrounds you now
You can pretend all that you want
I've seen the pain
And all of the evil you brought
Quit you're fucking crying
And swallow all your pills
You're not the only one
With the urge to kill
Grab the dusty bottle
And let the liquor spill
Devoid of life
Death is your final thrill
Bloodshot eyes can see
Right through the selfish lies
Search forever for a fix that keeps your high
I see your face
It's twisted with shock
Falling from grace
You deserve what you got
My hands around your throat
You can pretend all that you want
I've seen the pain
And all of the evil you brought
I am the king of nothing, over emptiness I reign
Drown with sorrow
Wash away the pain
