Look at these eyes admit that you're killing me but you can never see
The damage that you do! look at this fool in tears on his stupid knees
You treat me like disease how can I please you? I'd change the weather
I'd change the weather for you now I'd change the weather I'd get down
On my knees and pray for you I'd change the weather I'd change the
Weather for you now I'd change the weather I'd get down on my knees
Forever! and if I could I'd kiss you and run away now shut your mouth
And pray it's something that I'll do but I'm a fool a magnet to your
Vicious words to you I look absurd but I'm in love with you

Underworld

The underworld or netherworld is thought to be deep underground or beneath the surface of the world in most religions and mythologies. Typically it is a place where the souls of the recently departed go, an afterlife or a Realm of the dead. Chthonic is the technical adjective for things of the underworld. more »
