Intro

Riff

Verse 1

I saw the world, it 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

Chorus

Riff

 Cause there's no such thing as nothing

 Yeah, there's no such thing as nothing at all

Verse 2

same as verse 1):

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 slumped too far, into the void

I tried to make everything meaningless

But the rain got in

And made it a mess

Chorus

Riff

 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 the trigger and I'll turn off the world

Bridge

So what give 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!

Riff

And the rain got in

Chorus

 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 and I'll turn off the world
