Bettie Nuggs's blog: "songs i love"

my friend benji had me listen to this song in his car yesterday, and now i'm smitten with it.

i blogged it for the enjoyment of my friends.

hope you giggle, like i did.

if not.. too bad for you :)

Snuff - Slipknot

Bury all your secrets in my skin

Come away with innocence and leave me with my sin

The air around me still feels like a cage.

And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again.

So if you love me let me go

And run away before i know

My heart is just too dark to care

I can't destroy what isn't there

Deliver me into my fate

If I'm alone I cannot hate

I don't deserve to have you

OOh, my smile was taken long ago

If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips

And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss

I couldn't face a life without your lights

But all of that was ripped apart, when you refused to fight

So save your breath I will not care

I think I made it very clear

You couldn't hate enough to love

Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren't my friend

Then I could hurt you in the end

I never claimed to be a saint

OOh, my own was banished long ago

It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones

And spit your pity in my soul

You never needed any help

You sold me out to save yourself

And I won't listen to your shame

You sold me out, you're all the same

Angels lie to keep control

OOh, my love was punished long ago

If you still care, don't ever let me know

you - evanescence

The words have been drained from this pencil.

Sweet words that I want to give you.

And I can't sleep

I need to tell you, goodnight.

When we're together I feel perfect

When I'm pulled away from you, I fall apart.

All you say is sacred to me

your eyes are so blue, I can't walk away

As we lay in the stillness, you whisper to me

"Amy, marry me

promise you'll stay with me"

Oh you don't have to ask me.

You know you're all that I live for

You know I'd die just to hold you

Stay with you

Somehow I'll show you

That you are my night sky

I've always been right behind you.

Now I'll always be right beside you.

So many nights I cried myself to sleep.

Now that you love me, I love myself

I never thought I would say this

I never thought there'd be

YOU
