Nothing, I thought ,
There is nothing here
That I will ever want,
That I will ever need
Nothing, they said,
There is nothing there
Behind our eyes,
Behind our smiles
Nothing, I told them,
I am standing on nothing.
I am breathing in nothing,
I am seeing nothing.
Nothing, they thought,
This is all for nothing.
We work for nothing,
We live for nothing.
Something, I thought,
Must lie over there.
Beyond the sidewalks,
Beyond the sky.
Something, they said,
Was lost a long time ago.
When the colors faded,
And the music died.
Something, I screamed,
I must do something.
This is no paradise -
This is hell! Don't you see?
Nothing, they answered,
We see nothing.
This is all for nothing,
And there can be no end.
Tyranny!
Opression!
Immoral!
I cried.
You can have it!
You can have real love!
You can have real colors!
You can have real music!
Ah, they replied,
But we do...
But we do...
But they don't...
Glass, I thought,
I am standing in glass.
This is a mirror
I cannot see out of.
It's him, I thought,
It's all of evil
Inside every one of them
And they don't even know.
And they don't even know.
And they don't even know.
Please tell me you know
What's inside of you.
