NOTHING IS

When​ you saw me Saturday night
In that distant neon light
I knew you'd never really love me the same
Trace the patterns in my mind
Some I hate & some I like
But I swear I've worked so hard to keep things straight
​
Now nothing is like nothing was
But how could we've know
When everyone up on the screen seemed to agree
That freedom comes occasionally if you obey the police
& work enough to cover costs, maybe find some peace
​
There's no endless blissed out night
No there are lows & there are highs
Just like the way the sunlight dies & colors fade
I've been unwanted & learned to move on
I'd be forgotten had I stuck around
​
Nothing is like nothing was
But how could we've know
When everyone up on the screen seemed to agree
That freedom comes occasionally when you obey the police
& work enough to cover costs, maybe find some peace
