Next to Nothing

Two rushing shades meeting face to face
Dull procedures come and go everyday
A thousand tricks and one thousand smiles
But life is not profoundAn endless tide of ideas and belief
It's a mess 'cause nobody thinks or feels
The sky laughs loud, entertainment for free
We are nothingGain, 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 nothingA friendly smile hiding misunderstandings
I see your mask but your soul I can't find
A thousand lost days, two thousand new ones
Tunnel's light or dead endAnother 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 nothingGain, 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 nothingI 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 youWhere is my sympathy?
I'm not one of those
Who're loving life, loving life eternallyGain, 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
