Lyrics The Nothing - Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards

I had no dreams, I awoke from the nothing
Despite all my attempts to conjure something worth discussing
To cast a light upon the thoughts that life could not make clear
A figuration to condense the reason I'm still here

I'm of the mind that life has offered everything to me
And I am wandering and drifting through now aimlessly
There is no dream to catch, ambitions have become a void
And all that's left to ponder now is all that I avoid

We all float down here
We sink into this mirror
Insecurities are all that's left to purvey
We dreamed a little dream, we said all that there is to say
Locked up alone inside this room, filled up with empty space
The spaces in between
Perfection kills the dream
Ooh

Convincing lesser strengths to rise above monotony
To carry on to find the humor in a tragedy
I find that all there is to change is how I choose to see
Now silver linings sneak under the skin and cut too deep

We wear a frigid smile
It's all worth the while
Pretend it's coming still there's more than what there is to see
Another compromise of burning up to feel the breeze
It's only easier but nothing's ever easy
It's just the way it is or maybe just the way it is for me

I don't know why
I'm always tired
I don't know why
I don't know why
