lyrics

What if there’s nothing?
What if this is it?
You pull up the carpet
and nothing is in under it?

What if there’s nothing?
What if there’s nothing?
What if there’s nothing?
What if there’s nothing?

Like you cut the tree down
to count the tree rings,
but inside was nothing.
What if there’s nothing?

How long can you last?
How hard can you laugh like that?
How long can you last?
How hard can you laugh like that?

What if there’s nothing?
What if there’s nothing?
What if there’s nothing?
What if there’s nothing?

What if there’s nothing
at the end of the line?
You waited and waited.
You wasted your time.

Paycheck to paycheck,
running in wheels
to feed the machine,
and we are the meal.

How long can you last?
How hard can you laugh like that?
How long can you last?
How hard can you laugh like that?

wiggling through your dementias of desire,
unwinding veins to make the kite go higher,
breathing in the fire for the hell of it
until you tuck into your death bed’s heavy velvet.

How long can you last?
How hard can you laugh like that?
How long can you last?
How hard can you laugh like that?

What if there’s nothing?
What if there’s nothing?
What if there’s nothing?
What if there’s nothing?
