Nothing and Everything Songtext
von Mark Eitzel

The night falls like a chain
Nothing and everything
Takes the blood from your vein
Nothing and everything
His lightning bolt hands only fill the room with ash
Has impossible demands, accepts credit cards or cash
Won′t suffer your confession 'less you bend to his will
Relies on your compassion to always get the bill

The chain weighs a ton
Nothing and everything
Freedom′s a gun
Nothing and everything

And because you love him, you're the punching bag
He's just a big child, it′s just a game of tag
When he reaches for you like a demon from a spell
Hopes drown in their blood, wishes die in their well


The chain shakes you out
Nothing and everything
When a coward′s not found out
It's nothing and everything

Behind him slow you follow, dogged, tired and pale
Just like history′s shadow spun out cold and frail
When he beat your face in the taxi and the driver called the cop
You said, "Don't worry, it′s the culture and it's never gonna stop"

His smoke takes all the air
It′s nothing and everything
Don't let yourself care
Nothing and everything

You always forgive 'cause it puts on a show
And he needs you to live, so with him you go
Where all hearts are frightened and all hopes are weak
To a marching drum you can never speak

The chain pulls your collar
Nothing and everything
When the cage gets smaller
It′s nothing and everything
