Nothing

Nothing
Words and Music: Briggs Baritugo

I'll take this confusion

Between us

And hold it against my beating heart.

I'll take these broken wings

And free fall through the empty sky.

There is no need to carry the weight or die for every loss.

Chorus:

Because Nothing...

Because Nothing...

Because Nothing in this world is

Truly truly Mine.

Go on dying in the past

So I may remain in the "Now".

"Nothingness" is vibrant with possibilities.

No one can take away

That which is truly yours.

There's no need to slip through the cracks or bleed for every loss.

Chorus:
Because Nothing...
Because Nothing...
Because Nothing in this world is Mine.

Because Nothing in this world is Yours.

Because Nothing in this world is Ours.

Because Nothing in this world is truly Mine.
