[Intro — distant, almost inaudible]
What…
is…
nothing?
[Long pause]
[Verse 1]
No light?
No.
Darkness
is something.
No sound?
No.
Silence
is something.
[Instrumental space]
[Verse 2]
No stars.
No sky.
No earth.
No I.
Still…
something.
[Long pause]
Take away
the darkness.
Take away
the light.
Take away
the distance.
Take away
the night.
[Music begins thinning]
Take away
the silence.
Take away
the sound.
Take away
the nowhere…
where nothing
can be found.
[Long instrumental void]
[Almost whispered]
No space.
No time.
No then.
No now.
No where.
No when.
No me.
[Silence]
Nothing?
[Very distant]
But…
nothing…
is still…
something…
we named.
[Long silence]
[Barely audible]
What was there…
before…
nothing?
[One distant note slowly disappears]
