I Am of Nothing

from The Convalescence EP by Martin Rivas

lyrics

I am in everything
I am of nothing

The sky is beautiful and blue
It speaks to me: I have to do something
The colors of the street in bloom
What people see is so far from nothing

It’s all beyond what God conceived
It’s in the humid air I breathe
But still I find the painful need to keep repeating

I am in everything
I am of nothing

I stand here and I gaze at you
A dream to me: I know I feel something
But how do I convey to you
That all I feel may someday be nothing?

I’m stranded at the boundary of what I wish and what will be
Despite what I might hope to see, I keep repeating

Not what I believe I should see
But what I see

It’s all beyond what God conceived
It’s in the humid air I breathe
But still I find the painful need to keep repeating

I am in everything
I am of nothing
I am of nothing
