Nothing But Memories Left Behind
The inequity of love and hate
Heartsick with tears
Life seems so long
Day after day
Nothing seems to
Disappear
Conceived sickness
From horror created
When I was young
Burn it all away
Burn it all away
BURN IT ALL AWAY!
Yearning
For what was left behind
My tainted youth
It finally fades
Mesmerising my senses
Just one more time
I fall into
Oblivion
Solitary
Contemplation
Bears hollow fruit
I cannot breathe anymore
BURN IT ALL AWAY!
It can't be the same
Nothing ever will
Come from being nothing
Feel my heart burning
Deep inside
Can't you see it coming?
