The night falls like a chain Nothing and everything Takes the blood from your vein Nothing and everything His lightning bolt hands Only fill the room with ash Makes impossible demands Accepts credit cards or cash Won't suffer your confession Less you bend to his will Relies on your compassion To always get the bill The chain weighs a ton Nothing and everything Freedom's a gun It's nothing and everything And because you love him You're the punching bag He's just a big child It's just a game of tag When he reaches for you Like a demon from a spell Hopes drown in their blood Wishes die in the well The chain shakes you out Nothing and everything When a coward's not found out Nothing and everything Behind him slow you follow Dogged, tired and pale Just like history's shadow Spun out, cold and frail When he beat your face in the taxi And the driver called the cop You said don't worry, it's the culture And it's never going to stop His smoke takes all the air It's nothing and everything Don't let yourself care Nothing and everything You forgive and forgive Cause he puts on a show He needs you to live So with him you go Where all hearts are frightened And all hands are weak To a marching drum You can never speak The chain pulls your collar Nothing and everything When the cage gets smaller It's nothing and everything
