As Cities Burn - The Nothing That Kills Lyrics






And I will hold
I will hold your head above the water
While the current pulls me under
As long as you have breath, my dear
I will dance with death

And I will hang my life in the space between
The noose and your neck
And I won't let you die just yet

I will love you even when you won't let me
And you will kill me by doing nothing
(Nothing, nothing)
But I know it's not you, my dear, I know it's not you
I know it's not you, my dear
It's the nothing that kills

I can't save you
Control is something out of mine
No I can't save you
Control is something out of my control

I will love you even when you won't let me
And you will kill me by doing nothing
But I know it's not you, my dear, I know it's not you
I know it's not you, my dear
It's the nothing that kills
Nothing

I can't save you, but I will love you
I can't save you, but I will love you
I can't save you, but I will love you
I can't save you
But I will love you
I like to think that this is love
Lost in second chances without end
This is romance
This is romance

    I've listened to this song 10 years, this song has never been more relevant to my life than in this moment right now. Thank you ACB. It's great that your music can reach out to me from that long ago and slap me in the face.

    Acb is the most underrated band from this genre/generation of music

    This is hands down the best song I have ever listened to - despite of my disliking for 'christian rock/metal'

    Chills every time I hear this song, so much love in it and passion.

  26. d.... e....

    This song is perfect to describe how deeply I feel about the trials I've faced this year within a relationship with the girl I love and in my life in general, I won't give up. This song, this band give me hope. I should really take the chance to see them live on this last tour they are doing January.

  33. m.... ....

    Very underrated. Too difficult for me to play on guitar :(

  34. S.... A....

    i know what you're talking about, its a demo version. here's a link to it :]

    /watch?v=L_eLNvYVA3A

  35. S.... ....

    did you get your version from limewire?

  36. X.... ....

    Amazing.....

  37. o.... ....

    Carlos valdez!

  38. I.... ....

    i fuckin' love this song!!!

  39. c.... ....

    @nintycigarettes 1

  40. K.... N....

    i saw them in 7th grade when i wasn't too familiar with them, and their merch guy gave me this cd for free when i realized i didn't have enough money. loved them ever since.

  41. h.... ....

    @harve6 you probably heard the demo version

  42. M.... B....

    @xanryoka They sound reaaaaally hard. They have rhythm but the melody is seems really discordant.

  43. M.... B....

    @ktisistoukuriou There's a version from their EP. I found a few of the songs on P2P a long time ago.

  44. D.... R....

    This song is so amazingly beautiful, and easily my favorite song off the album.
    I just hate the fact that their songs are so hard to play on guitar!!!!!
    > : (

  45. e.... ....

    @harve6 There is another version of this song. Its an early demo of this song. I'm not too sure where to find it. My friend had that version but he said he got it off limewire a while back.

  46. J.... ....

    Of course I discover these guys a year after they broke up. Glad I found them though. this song is my favorite, so melodic

  47. T.... ....

    The song titled just The Nothing That Kills is from their 2003 EP. This is Of Want and Misery: The Nothing That Kills.

  48. K.... W....

    May As Cities Burn Rest In Peace and never be forgotten an amazing band I sure am going to miss them.

  49. D.... N....

    Song gives me such fucking chills. I know what it is like to watch someone hurt themself and to feel helpless and answerless in regards to how to help.

  50. C.... A....

    Yeah it was on there demo I think it was just called the nothing that kills and was a little different. I might be wrong about the name though. But my friend got the demo from them before Son I Loved You at Your Darkest came out and gave it to me. The band just had blank cd's spray painted ACB on the front haha. Such a crazy good song man.

  51. t.... ....

    There is a different version, i have it on my ipod. The version i have doesnt have the intro from 0:00-1:00. Also during the calm breakdown? (not sure what the exact name for that part of the song is called) from 3:43-4:55, instead of the piano playing in the background there is a calming guitar playing in the background. I listen to this song every day, soothes me for some reason lol.

  52. K.... Z....

    @DominikKressmann he doesnt?

  53. R.... M....

    favorite song of all time :)

  54. E.... L....

    @SeaJayRiley Im not sure why ur comment got so many thumbs down...

  55. J.... A....

    The Other Version Is Missing The Beginning And Is A lot more Rough. "The Nothing That Kills."

  56. d.... h....

    i knoe this song but this doesn't sound the same as i remember it is there another version of it?

  57. M.... H....

    lmao "UR NOT FUCKIN REAL!" best comeback i've seen in awhile.

  58. n.... ....

    he's there man and that sucks you can't see it

  59. d.... ....
