Nothing Lyrics

Nothing lyrics

not so long ago there was a time
the naive animal was a wiser thing
and
these devils that we accept as reality
did not exist here before
nor do I
think they were meant to be
they have enshrouded themselves
with the
comforts of wealth
inside this temple of material things
which they cling
to
all because the hand
was much easier to see than the spirit
and upon
the educated discovery of this
they have made their decision
not only for
themselves
but for everyone else as well
everything you've ever come to
experience
to anyone else here has never been
and will never be
life
does not exist
memory is nothing more than photographs
a looking glass to
see just where you've been
not what you've been there for
realize your
insignificance to the universe
and to infinity
you will have then cast
away
the pride of all these things you held so dear
agony and pleasure
are a suffering to one another here
the wisest is the fool who realizes he
knows
nothing, nothing
turn your back on this misconception
that the
body is the temple
it's just the tool of the soul
the brain is only the
house of the mind
and soon you'll have to give back
everything you've
borrowed for this lifetime
only then you'll find
you have spent all this
time
struggling for the wrong things
and all of your works here have been
nothing
everything is nothing
