Lyrics[edit]

   there's not much left to love
   too tired today to hate
   I feel the empty
   I feel the minute of decay
   I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take
   you with me
   I'm on my way down
   I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take
   you with me
   I'm on my way down
   the minute that it's born
   it begins to die
   I'd love to just give in,
   I'd love to live this lie
   I've been to black and back
   I've whited out my name
   a lack of pain, a lack of hope,
   a lack of anything to say
   there is no cure for what is killing me
   I'm on my way down
   I've looked ahead and saw a
   world that's dead
   I guess that I am too
   the minute that it's born
   it begins to die
   I'd love to just give in,
   I'd love to live this lie
   I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take
   you with me...
