24 wounds & 16 candles Left out in the rain Mystery man became a vandal & everything has ended up the same Like sweet sweet nothing 99 tears & 13 days To prove that you're still sane You've got the taste of absolution It's calling you & burning up your veins Like sweet sweet nothing You say you've got a smile like suicide So wear your hair down tonight You say they never know how you feel inside My sweet sweet nothing
All day long you're on the phone To Jesus & The Saints Breathing out the next life 'til you find yourself on some other plain With sweet sweet nothing You say you've got a smile like suicide... 24 wounds & 16 candles Left out in the rain The tourniquet of last salvation Is everything - you never were to blame My sweet sweet nothing You say you've got a smile like suicide...
