[rev. Aug. 27, 2013]

Nothing
[R] Nothing moving
Nothing moving
At first there's only nothing

Shadows, echoes, dream of being in a procession
[L] A procession
[R] Woman helpless slowly hatching, hardly moving
[L] Woman helpless slowly watching, hardly moving
[R] Longing for... [L] A longing...
Longing for a chance at a sweet life
[R] ...the sweet life [L] ...for a chance

Feelings changing shifting weather
[L] For a chance, rusted weather

Quiet mornings, something swimming through the mornings
The sunlight filtered through the water in the rock pools

Human creature, only shadow
[R] Human creature, only shadow
[L] Sunlight filtered through the water in the rock pools
Fragmented figments
[L] Needs to sleep, livin', risin', to the surface
[R] Need for shelter, need for fire

[L] Human creature, only shadow, fragmented figment, need for shelter
[R] Need for shelter, need for fire, a pulling on her calls her body
Need for shelter, need for fire
Pulling on, calls her body

[R] Wasting nothing in the morning
Astral mirror, touching, tasting, wasting nothing
[L] Wasting nothing in that morning
Remember living in the valley
Something angry, something hurts me

Remember blood-dripped clouds at sunset
As the night crept like a panther
[R] Desert blazing, ego conquering, palace gardens, woman singing
A desert blazing, ego conquering, palace gardens, women singing
[R] Singing to me, singing softly, about nothing
Singing to him... of a nothing
[R] Waiting for us, waiting for us, only nothing
[L] Waiting for us
Came before us, all around us, waiting for us
Waiting for us
Waiting for us, only noth... only nothing
