We Are Nothing

I'm a believer
Well, that's not strictly true
I'm more of a make-believer
But it sort of adds up to the same thing
Here in the lap of the Gods, neither party holds a universal truth, and my hopes lie like litter in the open road for everybody to drive through
Teetering on the swarf, my physical limitations dwarfed just by the wonder of living
Brought on for no real reason other than just the wonder of life
And now, being what I want to be, catches up so fast with me
I have to make up better and newer possibilities just to keep up with myself
And now, nothing is a problem
My mouth is dry from the heat of endless possible futures, the sweet promise of tomorrow is quenching my thirst
All we need to do now, is cheat death, for as long as we can
So that when the day finally comes, we can pull a clean sheet from our pockets and write down all that we have achieved, all that we have seen, to make sure we have left nothing behind
We are nothing
We are nothing
We are nothing

But I

We are nothing
We are nothing
We are nothing other than that that we give away for free, and we are nothing but the sum of our parts
