Nothing Arrived - Emma Bale

Savanna scatters and the seabird sings

So why should we fear what travel brings?

What were we hoping to get out of this?

Some kind of momentary bliss?

I waited for something, but something died

So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived

It’s our dearest ally, it’s our closest friend

It’s our darkest blackout, it’s our final end

My dear sweet nothing, let’s start anew

From here on in, it’s just me and you

I waited for something, but something died

So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived

Well I guess it’s over, I guess it’s begun

It’s a losers' table, but we’ve already won

It’s a funny battle, it’s a constant game

I guess I was busy, when nothing came

I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)

I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)

I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)

I guess I was busy

I waited for something, but something died

So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived

I waited for something, but something died

So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived nothing arrived
