Lyrics
V1
The path that we have traveled
Brings pain and great remorse
The life that we've been given
Is our penance and our force
Curses given to the few
Corruption and the lies
Cunning wiles of your way
We see through the disguise
CHORUS
Nothing really matters
Nothing ever will
All I've ever wanted
Is to take that jagged pill
To wash myself away
To extinguish all the pain
It's all lost and shattered
Everything is still
V2
How are we to save the ones
Who give us what we need
How are we to break the guns
Of hatred and disease
The lights are quickly fading
Affliction it is gaining
Hiding yourself from our blame
Lost inside our shame
The blood is shed for many
Who count the number dead
Those who've gone before us
Awake the sleeping dread
We find ourselves alone
Tortured and unknown
Many years of rot in vain
We cannot break the chains
CHORUS
Nothing really matters
Nothing ever will
All I've ever wanted
Is to take that jagged pill
To wash myself away
To extinguish all the pain
It's all lost and shattered
Everything is still
[So many limbs, so many lies, so many futures, too many die]
[So many limbs, so many lies, so many futures, too many die]
[So many limbs, so many lies, so many futures, too many die]
CHORUS
Nothing really matters
Nothing ever will
All I've ever wanted
Is to take that jagged pill
To wash myself away
To extinguish all the pain
It's all lost and shattered
Everything is still
