Nothing Now
(Patrick Napper)
NOTHING NOW
You are the shore that breaks my waves
and the night that ends my days
You are the hunger I sustain
My very measurement of pain
You are in everything I say
and a flame that lights my way
You are an end to all my songs
and a verse that goes too long
You are the words I cannot speak
the very thing that makes me weak
You are the pain that makes me scream
My anxiousness when I can’t sleep
You are in every move I make
Such a terrible mistake
But you’re nothing now
And you’re no one now
You are nowhere now
No way, no how
You are nothing now
And you’re no one now
You are nowhere now
You are the joy that I can’t feel
and my hope that would steal
You are the laughter I can’t hear
and the sting of every tear
You are the right to all my wrongs
A place where I used to belong
You are a cherished memory
that’s been erased from history
But you’re nothing now
And you’re no one now
You are nowhere now
No way, no how
You are nothing now
And you’re no one now
You are nowhere now
