no such thing
(cornell)

I saw a world that was beautiful
but the rain got in, and ruined it all

then I tried to be invisible
it was impossible, even for me

I laughed at love; it was a big mistake
in the absence of, I filled it with hate...

cause there's no such thing as nothing
there's no such thing as nothing at all

I had the brains not to think at all
but the rain got in, and I thought too hard

on the world, and as usual
I saw too far into the void

I tried to make everything meaningless
but the rain got in, and made it a mess...

cause there's no such thing as nothing
yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
yeah there's no such thing as nothing
but my finger's on a trigger
that'll turn off the world

so what gives me the right
to think that I could throw away a life?
even mine

and what makes you believe
that you could get away with getting old?
overlapping me

maybe to lose or to save your soul
is a choice of how you fill the hole

and the rain got in...

cause there's no such thing as nothing
yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
there's no such thing as nothing
but my finger's on the trigger
that'll turn off the world.
