Korn - The Nothing Lyrics






The End Begins

Why did you leave me?
Why did you leave me?
Now they are free
And they are coming after me

Why did you leave me?
Why did you leave me?
Now they are free
And they are coming after me

Why, why did you leave me?
Why, why did you leave me?
Why? Now they are free
Why? And they're coming after me

They're coming (coming, why did you leave me?)
They're coming (coming, why did you leave me?)
They're coming (now they are free)
They're coming (and they are coming after me)

Oh God, f*ck

Cold

They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get through it
They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get through it

Set the bait and I'm waiting
In a state of concentrating
I'm gonna knock this motherf*cker down, down, down, down, down
And there's a catch with this waiting
All of my thoughts are overtaking
Do I got the strength to take this f*cker down?

Deep in me, insulting
Talking shit, pushing me
Cold
Cold

Inside lying deep, the father of hate
The endless nightmare I can never escape
The broken in flames, they call out my name
They dance in my dreams while I scream out in pain

I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down

Alone, awake with the craving
I watch my step, I'm calculating
On how I'm taking this motherf*cker down, down, down, down, down
I don't know what I am thinking
Sometimes I feel like I am sinking
Into the ground I'll call my grave

Cold
Inside lying deep, the father of hate
The endless nightmare I can never escape

I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down
Break it down

Deep in me, insulting
Talking shit, pushing me

I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down
I'm on my way, this is the day
This is the time to break it down
Get out my way, nothing can stay
This is the time to break it down

They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get through it
They come for me, discomforting
They make me feel like I'm one step away
From doing it, I'm through with it
I can't do it, suffer, can't get through it

Youll Never Find Me

Life is degrading and silently making me
Spun out inside my own head
Spewing and craving, this darkness is baiting me
Down the road to my own death

I can't take this, I might break it
Watch it all fall down

So come give me the truth you hide
Take the pain inside

Humiliating, I fall to it's craving
It feeds on the doubt in my heart
Sinking and fading, our feelings I'm saving
To fix what I tore all apart

I can't take this, I might break it
Watch it all fall down

So come give me the truth you hide
Take the pain inside

I'm lost, you'll never find me
I'm lost, you'll never find me
I'm lost, you'll never find me
I'm lost, you'll never find me

I'm lost, you'll never find me
I'm lost, you'll never find me
I'm lost, you'll never find me
I'm lost

So come give me the truth you hide
Take the pain inside

I'm lost, you'll never find me
I'm lost, you'll never find me (I watched you die, now watch me die)
I'm lost, you'll never find me (I watched you die, now watch me die)
I'm lost, come for me (I watched you die, now watch me die)

I'm not doing fine
I'm not doing fine
I'm not doing fine
I'm not doing fine

I'm not doing fine
I'm not doing fine
I'm not doing fine

The Darkness is Revealing

Here behind the curtain lies a darkness feeding
Pooled inside, in hunger cries, and still it's eating
Everything I had to hide is all on my sleeve
And behind the curtain lies my soul, I'm bleeding

And I see it
Can't believe it
And the sun goes down
Taking my heart

What is this I'm feeling?
Is it a new beginning?
Am I purging past regrets
Facing the hurt I'm dealing?

How does one start healing?
The darkness is revealing
The bittersweet reality
That this is the help I'm needing

Why must I be bastardized? My essence flees
Search my mind and all I find is banded feelings
Once you pull the bandage off, you feel the sting
Only way to fix it is through painful suffering

And I see it
Can't believe it
And the sun goes down
Taking my heart

What is this I'm feeling?
Is it a new beginning?
Am I purging past regrets
Facing the hurt I'm dealing?

How does one start healing?
The darkness is revealing
The bittersweet reality
That this is the help I'm needing

Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me

Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Is he free, is he full, is he high, is he low?
Where the f*ck I'm supposed to go?
Where the f*ck I'm supposed to go?

Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Is he friend, is he foe, is he high, is he low?
Where the f*ck I'm supposed to go?
Where the f*ck I'm supposed to go?

Feel me, heal me
All that's in me
Give it all back
I can't have this
Feeling, failing
All that's creating

Get the f*ck out
Get the f*ck out
Get the f*ck out
Get the f*ck out
Get the f*ck out
Get the f*ck out

Idiosyncrasy

And the dark seems to light my way
And the path is deceiving
And the end is so far away
It might just defeat me
But I gotta take my time
And I won't let it take me away
And it never got the best of me

Don't do it
Don't give in
Won't you ever get it?
Won't you ever get it?

You've chose to walk a thin line
Replaced the hurt without healing mine
You hold disgust in your heart
You just f*cked with me, idiosyncrasy

In my heart lies a blackened rage
Sometimes it overtakes me
Why the f*ck did I run away?
My shadow is waiting
But I gotta face the facts
Of a twisted reality
And it never got a hold of me

Don't do it
Don't give in
Won't you ever get it?
Won't you ever get it?

You've chose to walk a thin line
Replaced the hurt without healing mine
You hold disgust in your heart
You just f*cked with me, idiosyncrasy

You've chose to walk a thin line
Replaced the hurt without healing mine
You hold disgust in your heart
You just f*cked with me, idiosyncrasy

Crawling down the path, I'm helpless, reaching for the light I see
Every time I get too close, the light proceeds ahead of me
Taking deep, I take a step, standing up, I take a breath
Running towards the light, I feel the fingers wrapped around my neck

God is making fun of me, He's laughing up there, I can see
God is making fun of me, He's laughing up there, I can see
God is making fun of me, God is making fun of me
God is making fun of me, He's laughing up there, I can see
God is making fun of me, He's laughing up there, I can see
God is making fun of me, He's laughing up there, I can see

You've chose to walk a thin line
Replaced the hurt without healing mine
You hold disgust in your heart
You just f*cked with me, idiosyncrasy

You've chose to walk a thin line
Replaced the hurt without healing mine
You hold disgust in your heart
You just f*cked with me, idiosyncrasy

The Seduction of Indulgence

Oh, look at me
I'm taking a huge risk crossing this line
Oh, look at me
Determined that I'm not gonna win this time

Oh, what will be?
I'm unprotected and painfully confined
Oh, come f*ck with me
I think I'm ready all this time

Oh, come with me
They say the torture is divine
Looking at me
Oh, they take their time

Skinning me, stabbing me
Touching me, licking me
Raping me, skinning me
Stabbing me, touching me

Licking me, raping me
Skinning me, stabbing me
Touching me, licking me
Raping me, skinning me

Stabbing me, touching me
Licking me, raping me
Skinning me, stabbing me
Touching me, licking me

Raping me, skinning me
Stabbing me, touching me
Licking me, raping me
Skinning me, stabbing me

Finally Free

It's hard to see what you will find
When your heart's dipped in agony
I tried too hard, I was too kind
I saw your face in everything

(I'm hating it) it's coming for me
(I'm hating it) it's laughing at me
(I'm hating it) it's time to realize what is really going down
(I'm hating it) it's staring at me
(I'm hating it) it's pulling on me
(I'm hating it) I can't believe it, take it down, take it down now

Where are you now?
I tried to get through to you, nothing is saving you
How could I fail?
This life betrayed you, and you are finally free

What you see is what you get
I had no time to process it
I think if I just turn around
That this nightmare will come unbound, oh

(I'm hating it) it's coming for me
(I'm hating it) it's laughing at me
(I'm hating it) it's time to realize what is really going down
(I'm hating it) it's staring at me
(I'm hating it) it's pulling on me
(I'm hating it) I can't believe it, take it down, take it down now

Where are you now?
I tried to get through to you, nothing is saving you
How could I fail?
This life betrayed you, and you are finally free

You're crying out for me (don't let it take you down)
You're crying out for me (don't let it take you down)
It's so hard to see (don't let it take you down)
It's so hard to see

It's so hard to see (don't let it take you down)
It's so hard to see (don't let it take you down)
You're crying out for me (down)
You're crying out for me

Where are you now?
I tried to get through to you, nothing is saving you
How could I fail?
This life betrayed you and you are finally free

That you're finally free
That you're finally free
That you're finally free
That you're finally free

It's so hard to see (don't let it take you down)
It's so hard to see (you're crying, take it)
You're crying out for me
You're crying out for me

Can You Hear Me

It walks with me, it takes its time
It sinks its teeth in one at a time
It loves to feed, it loves my past
It's always taunting but somehow out of grasp

Can you hear me? 'Cause I'm lost
And I may never come back again
And while my heart keeps holding on
I know I'll never be the same again

It talks to me, it holds my hand
It showers me with things I can't understand
It has no reason, it knows no time
It's constantly watching, so it's not left behind

Can you hear me? 'Cause I'm lost
And I may never come back again
And while my heart keeps holding on
I know I'll never be the same again
Can you hear me? 'Cause I'm lost
And I may never come back again
And while my heart keeps holding on
I know I'll never be the same again

You know I'll never be the same again (You know, you know)
You know I'll never be the same again (You know, you know)
You know I'll never be the same again (You know, you know)
You know I'll never be the same again

Can you hear me? 'Cause I'm lost
And I may never come back again
And while my heart keeps holding on
I know I'll never be the same again

I know I'll never be the same again
I know I'll never be the same again
I know I'll never be the same again
I know I'll never be the same again

The Ringmaster

Hey, you, yes, I'm talking to you
And what are you doing here?
And why you look so sad?
Man, brother, please come here
Let's talk and let it out
Dear, you have nothing to fear
Child, I'm the one that makes it, oh, so, so much better

I feel your presence standing there up in my face
I feel the darkness haunting me with its embrace
I want to shed this, go to a place, a different time
The plot unfolds, this meaning here I'll never find

Never find, never find, never find, never find
Never find, never find, never find, never find

Hey, man, what do we have here?
Boy, looking so upset
You're making it quite clear
That you want nothing to change
'Cause you're so willing to hurt
And feel at home in the dark
Boy, everything you feel, child, won't make it better

I feel your presence standing there up in my face
I feel the darkness haunting me with its embrace
I want to shed this, go to a place, a different time
The plot unfolds, this meaning here I'll never find

You ever hear that voice in your motherf*cking head?
Ooh, it goes

Looking at you, poking at you
Yelling at you, f*cking with you (it goes)
Looking at you, poking at you
Yelling at you, f*cking with you

Looking at you, poking at you
Yelling at you, f*cking with you
Looking at you, poking at you
Yelling at you, f*cking with you
It's f*cking with you
It's f*cking with you

I feel your presence standing there up in my face
I feel the darkness haunting me with its embrace
I want to shed this, go to a place, a different time
The plot unfolds, this meaning here I'll never find

Never find, never find, never find, never find
Never find, never find, never find, never find

Gravity of Discomfort

I've walked this world alone in prison by design
This broken bearer of shame is right here by my side
Higher than the highest goes
Darker than the blackest hole
Feel myself release my soul
Sweet relief, my body goes

Hate, dominate
Everything I got on my plate
Feel the weight of my pain
Crushing my heart, it's sure to break
I know it really wants to hurt me for sure
I know it set me up, it's death premature

I've tossed my fears aside, engaged in my denial
I'm lost inside this space I find to be so vile
Higher than the highest goes
Darker than the blackest hole
Feel myself release my soul
Sweet relief, my body goes

Hate, dominate
Everything I got on my plate
Feel the weight of my pain
Crushing my heart, it's sure to break
I know it really wants to hurt me for sure
I know it set me up, it's death premature

It won't go away
This time it's here to stay
Somehow I'll never be the same
Another day, another way
Another reasons for it to chip away
At everything I ever loved

Hate, dominate
Everything I got on my plate
Feel the weight of my pain
Crushing my heart, it's sure to break
I know it really wants to hurt me for sure
I know it set me up, it's death premature

Hate, dominate
Everything I got on my plate
Feel the weight of my pain
Crushing my heart, it's sure to break
I know it really wants to hurt me for sure
Hurt me for sure

H@rd3r

Choose your path and there's your truth, follow
Carve an inch and here comes the sorrow
Everything you do never goes away (won't go away)
Take a chance and they will erase it
Fight all you can, and they are complacent
Nothing you do can make it all go away (won't go away)

They are in my head now
Exposed, they tear my joy out
Their shadow starts to cast out
Inside, I start to lash out

Tell me who I am
I've done all I can
Tell me why my life keeps getting
Harder and harder and harder
Tell me what to feel
This shit can't be real
Tell me why my life keeps getting
Harder and harder and harder

Roll the dice, your number never comes up
Pay the price and still your life's f*cked up
Once again, this evil gets everything (gets everything)
Run away, it's waiting when you get there
Led astray, it's laughing 'cause it led you there
Yet again, you can't make it go away (go away)

They are in my head now
Exposed, they tear my joy out
Their shadow starts to cast out
Inside, I start to lash out

Tell me who I am
I've done all I can
Tell me why my life keeps getting
Harder and harder and harder
Tell me what to feel
This shit can't be real
Tell me why my life keeps getting
Harder and harder and harder and harder and harder

Keep on coming for me (harder and harder and harder and harder and harder)
Keep on coming for me (harder and harder and harder and harder and harder)
Keep on coming for me (harder and harder and harder and harder and harder)
Keep on coming for me (harder and harder and harder and harder and harder)

Keep on coming for me (harder and harder and harder and harder and harder)
Keep on coming for me (harder and harder and harder and harder and harder)
Keep on coming for me (harder and harder and harder and harder and harder)
Keep on coming for me (harder and harder and harder and harder and harder)

I can't deal
Run away, run away now
It's not real
Come for me, come for me now
I can't deal
Run away, run away now
It's not real
Come for me, come for me now

Come back, let's go to sober up
So you'll come back, I'm sober
I can't wait to split this invisible cage
Tell me, bitch, this time you can't fake it
One shot and f*ck yes, I take it
I'll miss, 'cause you always run away
They always get away

They are in my head now
Exposed, they tear my joy out
Their shadow starts to cast out
Inside, I start to lash out

Tell me who I am
I've done all I can
Tell me why my life keeps getting
Harder and harder and harder
Tell me what to feel
This shit can't be real
Tell me why my life keeps getting
Harder and harder and harder

Tell me who I am (I am)
I've done all I can (I can)
Tell me what to feel
This shit can't be real (be real)

This Loss

Itty-bitty, oh so pretty as I watch myself break down
Satisfying, as l'm crying, watch the vomit hit the ground
I am just a shadow of the man I once used to be
Everything I ever loved is always taken back from me

The feeling of this loss keeps creeping
Ingesting any joy that I might find
It's tearing at my heart (It's killing me)
It's robbing me of something I once
Had to take it, now I hate it, it won't ever stop

I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it

There's nothing like the sound of screaming, looping up all in my mind
Horrid pictures of the past invading my pineal high
I am just a shadow of the man I once used to be
Everything I ever loved is always taken back from me
Always taken back from me

The feeling of this loss keeps creeping
Ingesting any joy that I might find
It's tearing at my heart (It's killing me)
It's robbing me of something I once
Had to take it, now I hate it, it won't ever stop

This is plain to see
Been holding on too long to this tragedy
And it's time to be free
To understand what this path's laid out for me
So here I am again
Happiness is a club I'll never be in
I'll never be in, I'll never get in, I'll never get in
Never get in
Never get in

The feeling of this loss keeps creeping
Ingesting any joy that I might find
It's tearing at my heart (it's killing me)
It's robbing me of something I once
Had to take it, now I hate it, it won't ever stop

I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I wanna take it back
I wanna take it back, I wanna take it back
I wanna take it back, I wanna take it back
I wanna take it back, take it back, take it back

Surrender to Failure

Lost alone here in the dark
Looking for answers I will never find, I'll never find
God knew all along that He would take you
And the demons were set loose to claim their prize, I am their prize

Everywhere I turn, I can't escape you
Did everything I could to hide
For every good thing I've done, there's a price to pay
And that price has left me horrified, God, I tried

Now I'm the one who never chose this
Now I'm the one who walked a narrow line
And I would do anything to bring you back to me
If only God would let me turn back time

I've failed
I've failed
I've failed

Back to: Korn


The Nothing is the thirteenth studio album by American nu metal band Korn. It was released on September 13, 2019, through Roadrunner and Elektra. The album was produced by Nick Raskulinecz.

According to the band's lead singer, Jonathan Davis, the title of the album was inspired by a villain from The NeverEnding Story.

This is the first album recorded after the deaths of Davis' wife Deven and mother Holly Marie Chavez, which is reflected in the lyrics of songs such as "Finally Free". This affected Davis during the recording of the album, which he treated as a form of personal therapy. Some of his emotional breakdowns were recorded and ended up on the album, most notably towards the end of the intro, "The End Begins". Davis said about the album:

"I went through hell last year and had to purge what I was going through and bring the listener through that experience. I don't know how to explain it but it takes me over. When you hear me break down and cry, that's not fake. It's how I get it out. Some people go to a shrink. My music is that for me."
