I saw the world, it was beautiful

But the rain got in and ruined it all

Then I tried to be invisible

It was impossible

Even for me

I laughed at love

It was a big mistake

In the absence of

I filled it with hate



Cause there's no such thing as nothing

Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all



I had the brains not to think at all

But the rain got in

And I thought too hard

On the world, and as usual

I slumped too far into the void

I tried to make everything meaningless

But the rain got in and made it a mess



Cause there's no such thing as nothing

Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all

Yeah there's no such thing as nothing

But my finger's on the trigger

And I'll turn off the world



So what gives me the right

To think that I could throw away a life?

Even mine

And what makes you believe

That you could get away with getting old?

Overlapping me

Maybe to lose or to save your soul

Is a choice of how you fill the hole



And the rain got in



Cause there's no such thing as nothing

Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all

There's no such thing as nothing

But my finger's on the trigger

And I'll turn off the world
