Next To Nothing

Two rushing shades meeting face to face

Dull procedures come and go every day



A thousand tricks and one thousand smiles but

Life is not profound



An endless tide of ideas and belief

It's a mess, 'cause nobody thinks or feels

The sky laughs loud, entertainment for free

We are nothing



Gain, all we gain is trivial nonsense next to nothing

Our merit is: failing whenever we can

We are so precious...

But I say, we are next to nothing!

We are nothing, next to nothing, we are nothing



A friendly smile hiding misunderstandings

I see your mask but your soul I can't find



A thousand lost days, two thousand new ones

Tunnels light or dead end



Another night and even more days to come

And I've to look into mortal faces

It's just an act of regret and farewell

We are nothing



I look at you and wonder

Is it me whom I see

I am one of those mortals too

I'm lost as well as you



Where is my sympathy

I'm not one of those

Who're loving life, loving life eternally
