Everlasting Nothing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You threw the keys to the kingdom
Over a skyscraper wall
Sowing seeds somewhere obsolete
In the everlasting nothing
It's been a long night in the slipstream
I thought I'd crash and burn if I came down
When I did, I found a friend to take me home
In the everlasting nothing

[Chorus]
Friends I've known, come and gone
Like a soldier with no song
Still, I try to get back home
In the everlasting nothing

[Verse 2]
I woke up in a movie
Didn't know if it was my whole life
When it ended, I laughed before I cried
In the everlasting nothing
And I washed up on the shoreline
Everyone was waiting there for me
Like a standing ovation for the funeral of the sun
In the everlasting nothing

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
