Lyrics[]
Nothing, what I'm thinking's nothing
How I got to this point I don't know
An empty virgin sheet of paper
And the writing won't be mine to show
Nothing, me I feel like nothing
All my own emotions fly away
So watch me, watch me very closely
All you'll see is nothing clear as day
Where did I go? Please if you know
Tell me and I'll try
I'll try to find the me I left behind
To die
Nothing, absolutely nothing
All that is within my mind or heart
So watch me, watch me very closely
As I play my one defining part
Nothing, I'm revealing nothing
But there is a reason you will see
Nothing, all I'm left with is nothing
It's all very simple
Nothing's me
