Within Temptation - "The Purge" (video)

Got no scars cut on my skin,
only my truth is wearing thin
and it hollows me.
It hollows me.

I hate the darkness of my past.
The cold rebelling, it drives me mad
and it follows me.
It’s carving the heart out of me.

I’ve got to bleed it out.
All my thought intoxicated
‘cause the weight on me.
It buries me alive.

It pulls me down right into the darkness.
It pulls me down and I can’t resist.

Let me feel it ‘cause I don’t know, I can’t see.
All I feel is I'm breaking up.
Oh, can’t you see it’s taking over, over me.
Can’t you see?

Yeah, you want me to fight it and you want me to let go.
Yeah, you tell me to fight it and you damn me if I don’t.
So, let me bleed it out and purge me.
I can't see, no I can't see, no I can't see.

And I feel I'm breaking.

My defiance made me strong
but now I’m doubting what I have done
and it's killing me, it's killing me.

I hate to see what I’ve become.
I find no peace, no justice done,
This gravity, it's carving the heart out of me.

I’ve got to bleed it out.
All my thoughts intoxicated, 'cause the weight on me
It buries me alive.
It pulls me down right into the darkness.
It pulls me down and I can’t resist.

Let me feel it 'cause I don’t know, I can’t see.
All I feel is I'm breaking up.
Oh can’t you see it’s taking over, over me.
Can’t you see?

Yeah, you want me to fight it and you want me to let go.
Yeah, you tell me to fight it and you damn me if I don’t.
So, let me bleed it out and purge me,
I can't see, no I can't see, no I can't see.
