Next to Nothing

Two rushing shades meeting face to face Dull procedures come and go every day A thousand tricks and one thousand smiles but Life is not profound An endless tide of ideas and belief It's a mess, 'cause nobody thinks or feels The sky laughs loud, entertainment for free We are nothing Gain, all we gain is trivial nonsense next to nothing Our merit is failing whenever we can We are so precious... Yes, we are so precious But I say, we are next to nothing We are nothing, next to nothing, we are nothing A friendly smile hiding misunderstandings I see your mask but your soul I can't find A thousand lost days, two thousand new ones Tunnels light or dead end Another night and even more days to come And I've to look into mortal faces It's just an act of regret and farewell We are nothing Gain, all we gain is trivial nonsense next to nothing Our merit is failing whenever we can We are so precious... Yes, we are so precious But I say, we are next to nothing We are nothing, next to nothing, we are nothing I look at you and wonder Is it me whom I see? I am one of those mortals too I'm lost as well as you, lost as well as you I look at you and wonder Is it me whom I see? I am one of those mortals too I'm lost as well as you Where is my sympathy (As well as you) I'm not one of those (As well as you) Who're loving life, loving life eternally (Lost as well as you, lost, lost) Gain, all we gain is trivial nonsense next to nothing Our merit is failing whenever we can We are so precious... Yes, we are so precious But I say, we are next to nothing We are nothing, next to nothing, we are nothing
