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
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'd love to live this lie)
(All do you see) (All do you know) (All do you see) (All do you know) (All do you see)
I looked ahead and everything was dead (All do you know) I guess that I am too (All do you see) I looked ahead and everything was dead (All do you know) I guess that I am-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
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 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
Trivia
As noted in his book, Manson started to cry while recording the vocals to this song.
