Something From Nothing

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Give me the flammable life

I'm cold as a match ready to strike

So here I go

Here lies a city on fire

Singing alone

The arsonist choir

Now here I go

It started with a spark

And burned into the dark

Now here I go

There is a river I've found into the wild

Under the ground

So here I go

A button on a string

And I heard everything

Now here I go

Oh, sweet ignition, be my fuse

You have no choice, you have to choose

Bid farewell to yesterday

Say goodbye I'm on my way

But in the end we all

Come from, what's come before

So here I go

Oh, sweet ignition, be my fuse

You have no choice, you have to choose

Bid farewell to yesterday

Say goodbye I'm on my way

I threw it all away because

I had to be what never was

Been so hungry I could lie

You took my word, I took your wine

And held you in my bloody hands

These rattled bones and rubber bands

Washed them in the muddy water

Looking for a dime and found a quarter

But you can't make me change my name

You'll never make me change my name

Pay no mind now ain't that something

Fuck it all, I came from nothing

I'm something

From nothing

You are my fuse

I'm something

From nothing

You are my fuse

It goes (oh, oh, oh)

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

It goes, oh, oh, oh

All, rise!

No you can't make me change my name

You'll never make me change my name

Pay no mind now ain't that something

Fuck it all, I came from nothing

I'm something

From nothing!

I'm something

From nothing!
