From Nothing Lyrics

I sit here on this park bench

and look up at the sky

I see light

and darkness

I light a cigarette

and feel its warm, slow path to death

I'm in a storm

Of all the things you said

And I think back to once upon a time

When everything still mattered

I'm alive, inclined to do things

Before all the colours shattered

I am seeking in the static noise

A pattern to its being

Why she left

Why I forget the way she spoke

I am unseeing

I unravel

The words to everyday objects

I strip away the pain

The mind will travel to a place, that it barely recognises

Everything will be the same

I get up an feel the wind blow through my hair to where it's going

It carries all that's been and will be

With direction lightly flowing

Through the little strands of purpose

In my head

Of love and family instead

I see the dead, the broken hearts

The dread in parts

Of every light down in the city

That pollutes the sky above it

In every first-love that's consumed

By loving it instead of loving

I stop searching for a pattern

That describes some deeper meaning

I let go I fall into the dark

The light I am unseeing

I unravel

The words from deep-seated concepts

I strip away the ache

The mind travel to a place

That it barely recognises

Nothing will ever be the same
