Once divided. Nothing left to subtract
Some words when spoken can't be taken back
Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking
Caught a bolt of lightning. Cursed the day he let it go
Nothingman
Isn't it something, nothingman
She once believed in every story he had to tell
One day she stiffened. Took the other side
Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
One just escapes. One's left inside the well
And he who forgets will be destined to remember
Nothingman
Isn't it something, nothingman
She don't want him (she don't want him)
She won't feed him after he's flown away
Into the sun
Burn, burn, burn
Nothingman
Isn't it something, nothingman
Nothingman
Coulda' been something, nothingman
