Nothing

Alone, walking, out
Into the rain and lamplight
Moving, slowly, cold
Gave up on dancing tonight
Recall every time
I stole a soul to fill me
Symbols that I never could make
Into a better man

Cradle, city, grave
Moving through states and habits
Human, subject, self
The fictions that I cling to
Clothing falls away
I'm naked in the rearview
Who am I? You'll finally see

Smoke and mirrors
Fading away to show you clear
All I told you, everything was for show
Watch and see me
Suddenly stumbling, suddenly falling, suddenly breaking
This is all I'll ever be

I was a coward when I told you I was so indifferent
I was a liar when I tried to push you away
I gave you nothing when you reached out looking for an answer
It's all I have to offer anyway

I feel so sick when I look into this unbroken mirror
And see a charlatan who loves to hide and pretend
The world is burning while I stay inside my ivory tower
Afraid to jump until the bitter end

Take my posture
Break my arms and drain my eyes
My world's ending
And I can't feel a thing
When I've fallen
Will you see me, will you hear me, will you know me
Will you remember me

I was a coward when I told you I was so indifferent
I was a liar when I tried to push you away
I gave you nothing when you reached out looking for an answer
It's all I have to offer anyway

I feel so sick when I look into this unbroken mirror
And see a charlatan who loves to hide and pretend
The world is burning while I stay inside my ivory tower
Afraid to jump until the bitter end
