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?
