Nothing There

This is about being completely alone

Nothing There

Verse:
Lonely in a crowd, no familiar faces
Even in this big town, there are plenty of empty spaces
And that's where I live, no light of day
Nothing left to be, and nothing left to say

Pre-Chorus:
So I'll fall deeper into the pits of black and white
Where no one's there to save me, not a single guiding light

Chorus:
Reaching out and touching nothing but air
Just wishing that a savior would appear
Treasure chest of secrets locked inside of me
I would open it up if i could give someone the key
Days and nights filled with nothing but tears
Nothing but alone all these years
Cold-hearted traitors who don't understand
It's a crime when the trigger is pulled, then you laugh
Is it even a life if you don't have someone to care?
How can you live when there's nothing there?

Verse:
Muted sounds of laughter filling the air
Cry now or after? They don't care
An endless tunnel without lights inside
And a bumpy roller coaster ride

Pre-Chorus:
So I'll fall to my knees and say my prayers
But how could god make this so unfair?

Chorus:
Reaching out and touching nothing but air
Just wishing that a savior would appear
Treasure chest of secrets locked inside of me
I would open it up if i could give someone the key
Days and nights filled with nothing but tears
Nothing but alone all these years
Cold-hearted traitors who don't understand
It's a crime when the trigger is pulled, then you laugh
Is it even a life if you don't have someone to care?
How can you live when there's nothing there?

Bridge:
Abandoned and tossed aside
Companions? Not in sight
How can I let it go
When fire won't even melt the snow?

Nothing can dull the pain
Maybe if someone said my name
I would be okay

Chorus:
Reaching out and touching nothing but air
Just wishing that a savior would appear
Treasure chest of secrets locked inside of me
I would open it up if i could give someone the key
Days and nights filled with nothing but tears
Nothing but alone all these years
Cold-hearted traitors who don't understand
It's a crime when the trigger is pulled, then you laugh
Is it even a life if you don't have someone to care?
How can you live when there's nothing there?
