Nothing
Emilie Autumn Lyrics

I look at them
Dr. Stockill looks at his victims

I look at them and I feel nothing
He feels no empathy or remorse

I hear them scream
Dr. Stockill hears his victims scream

I hear them scream and I feel nothing
He is indifferent to their pain

I watch them bleed
Dr. Stockill watches his victims bleed

I watch them bleed and I feel nothing
He is emotionless even when witnessing their injuries

Nothing...
Dr. Stockill feels nothing.

Nothing...
Still nothing at all.

Nothing...
Zero empathy or emotions

For they deserve it
Dr. Stockill feels justified in his actions

I hold them down
The doctor physically restrains his victims

I hold them down and I feel nothing
He is numb even when using force

I stop their mouths
Dr. Stockill silences his victims

I stop their mouths and I feel nothing
He remains detached even when gagging them

I see them die
Dr. Stockill watches his victims die

I make them die and I feel nothing
He is callous during their final moments

I don′t know why
Dr. Stockill is unsure of why he hasn't killed Emily yet

I don't know why
Emily is also unsure of why he hasn't killed her yet

There is a voice
Dr. Stockill hears a voice inside his head

There is a voice
Emily hears the same voice inside her head

Inside me telling I should
The voice tells Dr. Stockill to kill Emily

Telling me my time is at its end
The voice tells Emily that she will soon die

She′s just the same
Dr. Stockill sees Emily as just another victim

I'm just the same
Emily sees herself as no different than Dr. Stockill's other victims

As all the others
Both see Emily as just one amongst many

Others... I cannot leave them
Emily feels responsible for the other victims and cannot simply abandon them

She's stronger now
Dr. Stockill acknowledges that Emily has grown more resilient

Because of them
The doctor believes that Emily's strength comes from the other victims' suffering

Than when I (she) came!
Emily has changed since her capture, become stronger in the face of adversity

My God, it sickens me to touch her
Dr. Stockill finds physical contact with Emily repugnant

If only I could get my hands free
Emily wishes she could escape her captor

And yet, my pulse, it quickens as I do
Despite his disgust, Dr. Stockill's heart races when he touches Emily

Let′s play our game
Dr. Stockill attempts to exert power over Emily by playing a twisted game

I'd try to run
Emily would try to escape if given the chance

Where would you go?
Dr. Stockill taunts Emily by questioning where she could possibly escape to

I'd tell someone
Emily would try to report Dr. Stockill to the authorities

Who do you know?
Dr. Stockill challenges Emily to name someone who could save her

Come now, you′re cleverer than that
Dr. Stockill believes Emily is too intelligent to believe help will come

I′d find you in five seconds flat
Dr. Stockill is confident he could easily recapture Emily if she tried to escape

I'd use the key
Emily would try to steal the key to her restraints

How would you get it?
Dr. Stockill challenges Emily to explain how she would steal the key

Someday you′ll see
Emily believes that one day she will find a way to escape

Is that a threat?
Dr. Stockill feels threatened by Emily's statement

There now, she's finally closed her eyes
Dr. Stockill thinks Emily has died or passed out

I wonder why she never cries
Dr. Stockill is surprised that Emily never breaks down emotionally

There′s something keeping her alive
Dr. Stockill recognizes that Emily has a strong will to survive

Something that I can't bottle up
He cannot replicate or control this strength

She should be dead by now with everything I’ve done to her
Dr. Stockill is amazed that Emily has survived so long

I've given her the strongest dose
The doctor has given Emily a particularly potent treatment or torture method

Of all these whores she's had the most
Dr. Stockill has experimented on other women, but Emily has endured the most

She should be underneath the ground
Dr. Stockill expected Emily to have died already

But she′s alive
Emily continues to cling to life

I am the saviour of this world!
Dr. Stockill sees himself as a hero for killing his victims

For this I′ve killed a thousand girls
Dr. Stockill has killed numerous other women in his pursuit of this goal

But every time I watch one die
Despite his claims of heroism, Dr. Stockill still derives pleasure from watching victims die

I'm thinking only of the first one
The doctor seems to be reminiscing about his first victim

The first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, The first one, the first one, the first one!
The phrase echoes through his mind

She is the closest thing I have to a companion
Dr. Stockill has grown attached to Emily in a twisted way

Yet...
He still plans to kill her, despite this attachment

I look at her
Dr. Stockill stares at Emily

I look at her and I feel...
The statement is cut off, implying that Dr. Stockill is experiencing some kind of emotion or realization.
