Nothingness

From Violence2018

Written by Edward Lay, Elliott Williams

Lyrics

Nothingness

I'm not mining for gold But insecurity Fooled by a trick of the light Are you there? I'm not breaking the mould I wouldn't fill it Hold my life in your hands If you dare

We wait, weighed down We let it all escape We let it go, let it go We let it go

We let it go

We wait in line for nothingness We wait in line for nothingness This angel needs some tenderness This angel needs some tenderness We wait in line for nothingness We wait in line for nothingness This angel needs some tenderness This angel needs some tenderness, tenderness

I'm not here for the show I'm not buying it Five steps back from the past If you dare

We wait, weighed down We let it all escape We let it go, we let it go We let it go

We wait in line for nothingness We wait in line for nothingness This angel needs some tenderness This angel needs some tenderness We wait in line for nothingness We wait in line for nothingness This angel needs some tenderness This angel needs some tenderness, tenderness...

We wait in line for nothingness We wait in line for nothingness This angel needs some tenderness This angel needs some tenderness We wait in line for nothingness We wait in line for nothingness This angel needs some tenderness This angel needs some tenderness, tenderness
