Nothing

(album: The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls: Behind The Musical - 2018)

[Dr. Stockill:]
I look at them
I look at them and I feel nothing
I hear them scream
I hear them scream and I feel nothing
I watch them bleed
I watch them bleed and I feel nothing
Nothing... nothing... nothing
For they deserve it

I hold them down
I hold them down and I feel nothing
I stop their mouths
I stop their mouths and I feel nothing
I see them die
I make them die and I feel nothing
Nothing... nothing... nothing
For they deserve it

I don't know why

[Emily:]
I don't know why

[Dr. Stockill:]
I don't know why I haven't killed her

[Emily:]
I don't know why he hasn't killed me

[Dr. Stockill:]
There is a voice

[Emily:]
There is a voice

[Dr. Stockill:]
Inside me telling I should

[Emily:]
Telling me my time is at its end

[Dr. Stockill:]
She's just the same

[Emily:]
I'm just the same

[Dr. Stockill:]
She's just the same

[Dr. Stockill & Emily:]
As all the others

[Emily:]
Others... I cannot leave them

[Dr. Stockill:]
She's stronger now

[Emily:]
Because of them

[Dr. Stockill:]
She's stronger now

[Emily:]
I'm stronger now

[Emily & Dr. Stockill:]
Than when I came
Than when she came

[Dr. Stockill:]
My God, it sickens me to touch her

[Emily:]
If only I could get my hands free

[Dr. Stockill:]
And yet, my pulse, it quickens as I do

[Emily:]
If only I could move

[Dr. Stockill:]
Let's play our game

[Emily:]
I'd try to run

[Dr. Stockill:]
Where would you go?

[Emily:]
I'd tell someone

[Dr. Stockill:]
Who do you know?
Come now, you're cleverer than that
I'd find you in five seconds flat

[Emily:]
I'd use the key

[Dr. Stockill:]
How would you get it?

[Emily:]
Someday you'll see

[Dr. Stockill:]
Is that a threat?
There now, she's finally closed her eyes
I wonder why she never cries

There's something keeping her alive
Something that I can't bottle up
She should be dead by now with everything I've done to her
I've given her the strongest dose
Of all these whores she's had the most
She should be underneath the ground
But she's alive
I am the saviour of this world!
For this I've killed a thousand girls
But every time I watch one die
I'm thinking only of the first one
The first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one

She is the closest thing I have to a companion, yet
I look at her
I look at her and I feel... nothing
