" It's Nothing"





It's nothing
Sweet nothing
just something in my eye

It's nothing
Sweet nothing
Just a kiss before we die

My soul is a speckled bird
that flies above the herd
My soul is a dappled mare
walking in the morning fair
My soul is a starry night
grains of sand 'tween lines of light

Well alright
So it must be
Unknown Gods of energy
Swept away
perpetually
by the thought that

It's nothing
Sweet nothing
just something in my eye

It's nothing
Sweet nothing
Just a kiss before we die

My soul's the song the cuckoos sing
That herald summer after the spring
My souls the soul of the doves gentle song
that warms the heart when nights are long
My soul's the phoenix that ever flies
Giving birth even as she dies

My soul's the sound of the lions roar
The hyenas laugh on the killing floor
My soul's the sorrow of the king
A choirboy at the alchemical wedding
My soul is a new born babies cry
a widows tear, and old man's sigh

Bid me goodbye
and I'll retire
Limitless suns decay in fire
Sucka Mc's
on the wire
untill they hear that

It's nothing
Sweet nothing
just something in my eye

It's nothing
Sweet nothing
Just a kiss before we die

Seven years i spent in the cauldron
Seven times seven is seventy seven

The crone she speaks

"Part now dimension
All good little boys go to heaven"

Untold depths of shallow oceans
Broken mirror near a notion
of random novelties

Castles and fat men in the trees
pregnant with many mysteries

Candles, baubles, and building blocks
On the door the hermit knocks

Angel of love to which we aspire
Deliver us now from the mire
Deliver us now from the fire
And take us into thee

Naked at last unforced alone
To walk with thee into the unknown

It's nothing
Sweet nothing
just something in my eye

It's nothing
Sweet nothing
Just a kiss before we die
