Chris Cornell › Lyrics › No Such Thing

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
Yeah, 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 slumped 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 the trigger and I'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
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 and I'll turn off the world
