[Verse]

Sometimes I’d hear a melody

The sound of what could be

Had I not placed myself down at your feet

To soothe your every whim

Oh, the best part is that if I

Could go back and tell those lies

I’d do it all again and again and again and again

It was not strength it was not love

It was not passion, it’s a drug

To fill the cavity of you me every mortal on this earth (oh, nothing)

Was I too weak, was I too strong?

Was I the paradox of song

Appearing headstrong publicly

Submit my soul in privacy (ah, ah, ah)

?

Was not the first to live this lie

Was not the first to hide my light
 (occultate)

We’re talking thousands of years

Of hidden dreams and hidden rights

You gave your all it wasn’t enough (oh, oh)

I gave my all it wasn’t enough

Oh now we’re nothing

I am nothing at all


[Chorus]

I am nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing at all

I am but light, no accolade

I have no credence little faith

Nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing at all

And from the sweetest kind of nothing

Comes the very thing we are


[Vocal Solo]

Mm, mm, mm

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm


[Verse]

I might be wrong might be unkind

Some ugly **** was on my mind

I was a preacher to an audience

Of nothing but my pride (nothing)

Hard to swallow, hard to crush

Tarred myself with my own brush

I was a human of a nature (eeh, ah)

Dispositioned not to trust

Not to hope, but to pray (pray)

Not to deserve, but to pray (pray)

Not to want, but to pray (pray, pray oh)

But now sweetie leave others take your place

Oh I was forced to swallow light

It wasn't fair it was not right

Now I could care less

I am the incarnation of a subtle fight


[Chorus]

I am nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing at all

I am but light ,no accolade

I have no credence little faith

Nothing, nothing at all

Nothing nothing at all

And from the sweetest kind of nothing

Comes the very thing we are


[Post Chorus]

Nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, at all

Nothing, at all

Nothing, nothing at all

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


[Verse]

I’d hear an aching in the dark

I’d hear a memory

Of the box I let you put me in till I

Suffocated with the weight of my own dream (dream)

It was not right it was not fair

You made it your business not to care

I do not think that you remember

Or indeed you ever will

Us who bear you to be weak (ooh)

Commit the kind of crimes you seek

Seek the kind of crimes you do (ooh)

To prove the strength we could not give to you

Even our mothers of a school (ooh)

Teaching us to hide our truth

To give up everything yes everything (ooh)

For little in return

To fear the power of my will (ooh)

And shame the body that I’m in

To fear the vision of a life (ooh)

Where I am equal to him

It’s like the mud of a thousand years (ooh, ooh)

Thickened every tear

Now I release it cleanse my vision (ooh, ooh, aah)

Shake off every fear


[Chorus]

(ah, ah) 
I am nothing, nothing at all

(ah, ah) Nothing, nothing at all

(ah, ah) I am but light no accolade

(ah, ah) I have no credence little faith

(ah, ah) Nothing, nothing at all

(ah, ah) Nothing, nothing at all

(ah, ah) And from the sweetest kind of nothing

(ah, ah) Comes the very thing we are


[Post Chorus]

(ah, ah) Flow, le you empty

(ah, ah) Flow, le you empty

(ah, ah) Flow, le you empty

(ah, ah) Flow, le you empty

(ah, ah) Flow, le you empty

(ah, ah) Flow, le you empty

(ah, ah) Flow, le you empty

(ah, ah) Flow, le you empty

Flow, le you


[Verse]

You were right on this you know

To find your bliss is to find your flow

Always I sought this from outside

The permission to be alright

How could it ever come from you?

Just as frightened as me too

This is a partnership with She

Creatra merges us as two

Then forced us desperately apart

To mend these sick and ugly hearts

And flood the daylight in

The clarity that surfaces as art

There are two chords there is the word

There is the power to be heard

There is the joy there is the choice

And privilege to raise my voice


[Chorus]

(ah, ah) 
I am nothing, nothing at all

(ah, ah) Nothing, nothing at all

(ah, ah) I am but light no accolade

(ah, ah) I have no credence little faith

(ah, ah) Nothing, nothing at all

(ah, ah) Nothing, nothing at all

(ah, ah) And from the sweetest kind of nothing

(ah, ah) Comes the very thing we are

(Flow, le you empty)

(ah, ah) 
Nothing, nothing at all

(Flow, le you empty)

(ah, ah) I am nothing, nothing at all

(Flow, le you empty)

(ah, ah) I am but light no accolade

(Flow, le you empty)

(ah, ah) I have no credence little faith

(Flow, le you empty)

(ah, ah, ah) Nothing, nothing at all

(Flow, le you empty)

(ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) Nothing, nothing at all

And from the sweetest kind of nothing

Comes everything we are
