[Verse 1]
Once divided, there's nothing left to subtract
Some words when spoken, yeah, yeah, they can't be taken back
Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
The future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking

[Pre-Chorus]
Caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go

[Chorus]
Nothingman
Nothingman
Isn't it something, nothingman

[Verse 2]
She once believed in every story he had to tell
One day she stiffened, yeah, took the other side
Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
One just escapes, and one's left inside the well

[Pre-Chorus]
And he who forgets will be destined to remember
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Nothingman
Nothingman, yeah
Isn't it something, nothingman?
[Bridge]
Oh, she don't want him
Oh, She won't feed him after he's flown away
Oh, into the sun
Ah, into the sun
Burn, burn, burn

[Chorus]
Nothingman
Nothingman, yeah
Isn't it something, nothingman?
Nothingman
Nothingman
Coulda' been something, nothingman

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh no, oh-oh-oh
