Every Part of Nothing
Chasing Shadows in the Sunshine of Nothing
Lyrics
madmen glaring at blue skies
Madmen staring at clear skies
tell me i'll be just like them
Asking to be assured that I'll become like them
hair gone grey waiting so patiently
Hair turning gray while waiting patiently
for anything but possibility
Waiting for anything but the possibility
i've got every part of nothing
Expressing a feeling of having every part of nothing
and nothing's safer than your arms
Finding safety in the embrace of someone
so i'll be sleeping on the stairs
Sleeping on the stairs, possibly feeling excluded or distant
choking on all the fresh air
Struggling to breathe in the open air
the face is broken by the brain that keeps on circling itself
Facial expression affected by a mind trapped in self-circulation
i'll be coming round soon
Planning to return soon
to get soaked in your sunshine
Seeking solace in someone's positivity
and you'd gladly give me more if i could keep it
Acknowledging a willingness to share more if capable
till i'm halfway home or halfway out the door
Describing a situation of being torn between staying and leaving
pissing into a hurricane
Engaging in futile activities, expecting a positive outcome
waiting for a pleasant smell
Anticipating positivity in a challenging situation
scaling walls to look down on everyone
Trying to rise above others who look down on them
who looks down on me
Recognizing that they still look down on others as well
like i still do
Reflecting on self-perception
rooftop hopping has it's drawbacks
Acknowledging downsides to rooftop adventures
that all revolve around the ground
Downsides connected to the ground and reality
but planted feet can't keep a beat
Stating that stable feet cannot dance or escape memories
or outrun pointless memories
Memories created as fast as others wonder about their lives
that i'll create as fast as anyone who's still left wondering
Questioning the nature of one's own life
what of this is my life?
Raising doubts about certainty
and how can you be certain
Questioning the reliability of assurances
that this time we'll be
Expressing hope for perseverance and ignorance in adversity
good enough to not give up and dumb enough to never even
Not caring about the reasons behind challenges
care why rain falls on a cloudless night
Recognizing proximity to a goal
and fights burn up without a fight
Highlighting the indifference of comfort to the past
i guess we're almost there
Encouraging to seize opportunities before they vanish
warm beds don't care about the past
Expressing difficulty in documenting experiences
so grab one cause they'll be going fast
Addressing the challenge of avoiding impending failures
but how can this all be written down
Expressing uncertainty and concern
to push back impending failures frown
Struggling against the approaching negativity
ooh ooh ooh
Repeating a vocal expression, possibly conveying emotion
