Simply Nothing Lyrics

I don't wanna live tomorrow

I'm too busy living for today

I'll save my money when there's

Nothing left for me to give away

And I'll stop singing when there's nothing left to say

In these two chords, everything's okay

I went to school and cut my teeth on all the lies

That they told, did what they said was right

And found out that my morals had been sold

To the bidder who was better at the game

Gotta find a way to keep on feeding this flame

I went downstairs and heard my family sing

I found out there that I'm no more than nothing

My breath is smelling worse these days

I think my teeth are rotting out my skull

Pick them out one by one

Pack letters I won't write into the holes

Then when I'm wetter and unfettered by the pain

I'll bite down hard, preserve what's left of my brain

Salt and water mixed together is a mode of preservation

But I've found anger and gasoline

A better remedy for starvation

Our protestations, no threat to our great nation

But cogs in machines still might cause cessation

I went upstairs and heard the angels sing

I looked away but I'm still trembling

Scars surround us in our landscapes

In our seascapes, in our dreamscapes

Is filling them with concrete

The smartest and the fastest way to escape

From this hellscape?

Is there another route we can take?

To restore the ways we've never known unerased

I went outside and heard my God sing

These were the words my God sang to me

One day the dams will burst

The salmon will run freely to their homes

The roads will crack and shudder

Buried underground with the bones of industry

That's been reaping what we've sown

Go out there and build the world I've shown

I looked inside and heard my God growing

I looked away but I'm still trembling

I looked inside and saw my God growing

And I found out there that I am simply nothing
