Lyrics

    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...
