Le Bardo (also Bārdaw, Bardaw, and Bardois) is a Tunisian city west of Tunis. As of 2004, the population is 73,953.
Built by the Hafsid dynasty in the 15th century, the name Bardo comes from the Spanish word "pardo" meaning a garden. Bardo became a residence of the Tunis court in the 18th century. With the arrival of Husseinite beys, Bardo became a political, intellectual and religious center. The ancient beys residence was actually the site of the Tunisian National Assembly siege, and the National Museum opened there in 1882.
The city gave its name to the Treaty of Bardo, signed in nearby Ksar Saïd palace, which placed Tunisia under French protectorate in 1881.
Down on your knees you cry for help
Unleashed the rage, no reprieve
What you've done is coming back around
Instant karma, appropriate I believe
Laugh out loud I beat you harder
Both hands broken you can't fight back
For years you tried to break me
Turned round no fists my odds are stacked
Strapped and abused in misery
Chewed up pissed on cast aside
No place for me in your plan for life
Learned through time to depend on you
And you ask me why I'm bitter
Placed you on a pedestal and fell
Outstayed my welcome once again
Your actions unacceptable
And you ask me why I'm bitter
Two's company, three's a crowd
Time for me, disallowed
Beaten fucked up it feels so sweet
Justice served for what you've done
Left now taped up in your defeat
Your time for repent is nigh, scum
And I see you smiling now
And you ask me why I'm bitter
You know I really used to like you don't you?
Consciousness slips away over time
Question myself till I bleed
Will I live to spoil another day
The answers lost in mud
I won't if it goes on this way
And what if you discovered that
I could not give a fuck
Would you crumble, start to fall
Just like I have a hundred times before
Blacken my face
Distort my features
I'll be no-one soon
I was told to bank on 70
22's been hard enough
Search for a space to hide in
The life I have's too much
Feeble-minded, fickle and worthless
Sickened by my blind incompetence
Can't even pay the rent
And I can't see a way out
Blacken my face
Distort my features
alone - on my own - I fight but I will not win
I have been wrong - misled - and now I feel dead
Put in goal for the millionth time
Not a scratch on anyone else
Fuck you - can't even erase my self
I don't want to be here - living with fear
So whilst I hunt for the exit - keep the fuck out of my way
And you should know by now no one fucking hurts you like you hurt yourself
Submission hold around my throat
Esconced in turgid lakes of sweat
The animals up to their necks
A heaving mass of evil shit
Sins that manifest themselves in sex
I feel that I've been done wrong
Pushed and laughed at way to long
Bestial ructions in fullest flowing
The filthy juices ripe on my tongue
To hurt myself priority
Punishment overdue rolls free
Senses race to ascertain the breach
Drown in pools of blood-soaked piss
Razors skate on a park of arteries
Release the presence of promiscuous whores
A face I knew but no longer recognize
Good-will overtook by power to despise
I feel no sorrow
Where previously I chose to wallow
The only path to inner-peace seems to me to be acceptance of responsibility
If I could just be a better man for one day then things may not have gone
this way
Cut off your legs to spite your life
I bring my hand down
Bring down the knife
Cut off your face
Pull out your eyes
To end your life
I'm dazed and contused alone now feeling confused one more time
I'm fucked up animosity has been struck up
You were supposed to be my friends this not so good thing how it ends
There is no way to make amends forced to my knees - I'm screaming
Beat down and raised up piss half fills the loving cup
Our bonding now breaking been giving - now I'm taking
Tried hard to be the best I could brought home with violence how good
Acting only as told I should again I'm down and bleeding this pattern
repeats - spiralling around me
Spiralling round me - this pattern repeats.
Respect - no way man I'm bored it's out of hand
The time has come to close the door I just can't take this anymore
You're anal and you make me sick so get the fuck right off my dick
You filthy dirty lying whores I just can't take this any fucking more
I'm lonely and I've drawn a blank worked so hard with no thanks
Push through dirt to find the way out left alone in the house of doubt
The face that looks at me is dead killed by the bad things in my head
Push me again if you dare I'm past the point of pretending to care
When it's dark and I'm alone I cry for peace but they won't go.
And this is killing me but I can never let you know
It's more than I can take, I sink - I drown - I cannot float
And they keep pushing me the rope constricts my fucking throat again...
You don't know what it's like if you did you'd never want me
To be there - And if I made you understand, you'd have
it an you'd BE IN THIS MESS!!!
Dragged down to rest among the silt, I cannot breathe it's ???
You cannot touch me
Will never feel me
I'll lock myself in a shell of shame
So you can never know me
Been bitten by your type before
Opened up and let you into me
Paint myself a new way just for you
Protect me
And I never begged
Never ever pleaded
Fought tooth and nail for
Anything I ever needed
Good morning, It's a new day
I think I'll just be on my own
This isolation makes me secure
Effect of words my major bone
Dishonesty from a mouth I once liked
Eyes wide a boy int??????
By this connection he may never have again
Gripped till he couldn't then he slipped
Friends are nice but few really care
Reflection all around me
It starts right now
Stake my claim for the throne of incompetence
Come last at everything - every time
I have failed at all I have attempted
Childhood goals tipped and up-ended
And you just look at me and say I fucking told you so
You're not the king of me I'm the king of me
So why do I still beg for your attention
My name remains a filthy word unfit for you to mention
I'm fucking shit, I'm really sick
I cannot cope, I don't think I can put up with it
Here we go again - headlong into another scene
I put hands over my eyes and try to hide
It never changes, I've never lived up to your expectations
I am the cancer in your life - I am a burden
And all the times I tried my best, it's never good enough
Cause every time I fail the tests - I'm just not good enough
Too fucking stupid, too fucking dull
I can never live up to what you want from me
I've only just begun to find my feet
And you kick them right out from under me
I can't compete, this isn't fair I'm the circle that cannot fit the square
Lying awake, cannot sleep
Play over in my mind all that you've done to me
I smile outside - inside I'm screaming
Left alone - with fingers bleeding
Try to claw - something worth keeping
On my knees - and bleeding
And you just don't give a fuck
A new betrayal - fucked hard again
Stripped to bone - by one more set of friends
Tear it down - no feelings of shame
Set up to be knocked down again
You have
No morals
Twisted
Selfishness
I hate you
Kill you if I
Wasn't gutless
Foul taste
Of piss
In my throat from you
And I invited you in
I fucking let you in
I stare into the mirror - clutching pride
Eyes tell the truth - I cannot hide
Another piece of me - has dropped and died
And now I lie here crippled by my life
Pride and sense of worth in a world of hurt
Are falling off me - and I can't get them back
Try to fight and love to hate - I build a wall
Against my will to protect from another attack
>From the endless queues of bitter shits
Who wait in line with spikes and knives
With evidence and opinions of what I am
I am an asexual god
The self breeding mother of hate
Or maybe that's just how I feel
I reflect what I receive every day
In my world so full of lies
I reflect the pain I suffer every time
I spit out your filthy ugly name
It seems you radiate the sun
Inside you were hit with the ugly stick
I never ever felt more dead
Than when I got inside you
This extension of my hand
Will rid us all of shit like you
Could take your head clean off your neck
If I fucking wanted it too
Bad men will speak my name in fear
Cower back from Callaghan
Enforce the feelings I believe
Cos I'm the mother-fucking man
Two Pigs Fucking
Esconced in turgid lakes of sweat
The animals up to their necks
A heaving mass of evil shit
Sins that manifest themselves in sex
I feel that I've been done wrong
Pushed and laughed at way to long
Bestial ructions in fullest flowing
The filthy juices ripe on my tongue
To hurt myself priority
Punishment overdue rolls free
Senses race to ascertain the breach
Drown in pools of blood-soaked piss
Razors skate on a park of arteries
Release the presence of promiscuous whores
A face I knew but no longer recognize
Good-will overtook by power to despise
I feel no sorrow
Where previously I chose to wallow
The only path to inner-peace seems to me to be acceptance of responsibility
If I could just be a better man for one day then things may not have gone
this way
Cut off your legs to spite your life
I bring my hand down
Bring down the knife
Cut off your face
Pull out your eyes
To end your life
