Merz Lyrics
"This Nihilism"

Goodbye narcissus
I'd kiss you to pieces
But I might try to hide
But I might break my stride
The world is burning
And I'm just moving
From a place where nothing
Nothing remains

They put me on a wheel
A wheel of fortune
A wheel of chance
A wheel of fortune
They spun it round and round
And when it slowed down
I found nothing
Nothing remained

I long to leave in a world with less greed
It'd be better for you
Be better for me
Who'd be a star in this age?
Who'd be a monkey in a cage?
At a time when nothing
No good remains
No good

This nihilism
She walks towards me
Most tranquil, beautiful maid
She's sweeping all that comes before her
Until face to face
Only we remain

I need to move into the light
I need to move in to the light
I need to move in to the light

Setting suns
Sons and daughters
Abused and consumed
Sign of an age
Goodbye youth
Goodbye radiance
Night has fallen
Nothing remains
Nothing

No good

This nihilism
She walks towards me
Most tranquil, black-eyed maid
She's sweeping all that comes before her
Until face to face
Only we remain
