lyrics

Nothing you will find
when you are numb and dumb and drunk
except a lower low
and how fast a stone throw's sunk
we all get to sinking
we all forget the sun
baptized by pain and rapture
oh hallelujah
to everyone

Nothing you will find
when you are locked inside a room
cupboards full of cobwebs
and a feast of spider food
dust upon the bed sheet
I sleep on the floor
where am I
and who am I
oh why am I
and tell me what for

Nothing you will find
when run everyone away
shackled to a dying hope
that they'll stay anyway
building walls with payphone calls
that say I'm lost at sea
please do not turn the light on
for what you would see
it wouldn't be me

Nothing you will find
when the wind burns by your face
walking in the tall grass
taking life advice from snakes
monkey on your shoulder
but in time you'll change your ways
but ain't it hard to stay dry
when every cloud
is crying rain

Nothing you will find
when you hold tight
your every fear
dancing with a demon
chasing shadows
far and near
painting over every mirror
with a fresh coat of black
there's nothing you will ever find
oh when you see
yourself like that

Forgive yourself forgive
or there will be nothing
you will find
no chance for fields and meadows
where love grows on the vine
blind to the moon
deaf to crooning
choirs of the field cricket
no hope for feeling hopeful
you're gonna be done
before you begin

no hope for feeling hopeful
