Nothingman lyrics

once divided

nothing left to subtract

some words when spoken

can't be taken back

walks on his own

with thoughts he can't help thinking

future's above

but in the past he's slow and sinking

caught a bolt 'a lightnin'

cursed the day he let it go

nothingman

nothingman

isn't it something?

nothingman

she once believed

in every story he had to tell

one day she stiffened

took the other side

empty stares

from each corner of a shared prison cell

one just escapes

one's left inside the well

and he who forgets

will be destined to remember

nothingman

nothingman

isn't it something?

nothingman

oh, she don't want him

oh, she won't feed him

after he's flown away

oh, into the sun

ah, into the sun

burn, burn...

nothingman

nothingman

isn't it something?

nothingman

nothingman

coulda' been something

nothingman

oh...ohh...ohh...
