The Dirt

I want to open up my guts

And crawl inside to make a home

And nestle up inside the steaming

Softness silent and alone

I want to pull apart the things

You think that matter

?Cause to me nothing is everything

Just a vacant listless clatter

And I bury myself underneath myself

I will not reach or call for help

I want to do this on my own

I want to feel it in my bones

I want to know the ugliness

That wraps around me

So I open wide and die inside

Forget the things the world said I could be

There?s nothing for me, nothing I want to be

And I am nothing now and free

The nothing's in love with me

Don?t you think it?s funny how

The dirt just piles up on me?

And I?m being crushed but baby, hush

You know it doesn?t matter very much

To know the nastiness

And roll around in piles of this

Then yawn into the stinking hiss

Then close it tightly in my fists

When I am gone I?ll leave no bones

No dust, no death, no love, no home

Just emptiness and all of this is nothing

Nothing, nothing, I?m alone

So wave goodbye and close your eyes

And never take off your disguise

The world is ugly when you take it off

Go on and live your life

There?s nothing for me, nothing I want to be

And I am nothing now and free

The nothing's in love with me

And leave me lying here

The world will never shed a tear

For idiots who die like us and never ever

Know something that?s real

There?s nothing for me, nothing I want to be

And I am nothing now and free

The nothing's in love with me

There?s nothing for me, nothing I want to be

And I am nothing now and free

The nothing's in love with me
