Nothing Sweet

a song—shoegaze—key of A

on broken skin, it's over now

stand up, girl, walk tall

the room is spinning, i'm on the ground

my face against the wall

the way you move, the way you talk

are burned inside my brain

the ghouls are out and the memory's here

of the pleasure and the pain

in innocence you grew loveless

my passion's losing ground

you never knew what you could do

but you turned it all around

nothing sweet was left for me

it was heard to breathe

don't tell me you couldn't see

when time is out and the sunlight fades

i wonder where you've gone

the light gleams off of dulling blades

but no one knows what's wrong

you've tripped me up, you've pulled me out

of the shackles made from tears

but i will not cry, it's hard to shout

when you don't know my fears

in innocence you grew loveless

my passion's losing ground

you never knew what you could do

but you turned it all around

nothing sweet was left for me

it was heard to breathe

don't tell me you couldn't see

on broken skin, it's over now

the light is fading fast

keep the visions in your head

try to make them last

break it down, tear it out

let it wash your hands

of the pleasure, of the pain

the pain of your commands

in innocence you grew loveless

my passion's losing ground

you never knew what you could do

but you turned it all around

nothing sweet was left for me

it was heard to breathe

don't tell me you couldn't see
