Well I love no one and I don't care who knows
  Don't care if you're far away
  Don't give a damn if you're close
  I'm the vacant distraction of a broken old man
  I lack shape or color
  Not even gray or even tan
  I'd hate all I see but it makes me too tired
  I'm much more at home when left uninspired
  So damn me to hell and resist if you must
  But lower your eyes once and I'll emerge from the dust
    For I am nothing
  Yes I am nothing
  Yes I am nothing
  And I love no one
    Well I love everyone I am filled with delight
  I understand all your feelings I don't see from wrong or right
  I'm the look in your eyes when you're telling the truth
  I'm the wisdom of age and the beauty of youth
  I am shape substance color darkest black palest white
  Speckled gold ringing mirror sharp soft and bright
  I'm rage passion laughter and the need to know why
  Come sample all my riches I'm pure stimuli
    For I am everything
  Yes I am everything
  Yes I am everything
  And I love everyone
    Well I can only love someone I am just a person
  My father loved my mother and I am her son
  The preceding verses are the halves of my soul
  I'm just the battlefield and that is my role
  There's a tug of war between what I can and can't feel
  The inevitable compromise determines the real
  The equation the reason for my being here
  The struggle resulting in my invention of the tear
    For I'm only something
  Yes I'm only something
  Yes I'm only something
  And I can only love someone
    And it's the best I can do
  It's the very best I can do
  You're probably someone too
  So perhaps I love you
  Perhaps you'll love me too
  Perhaps you'll love me too
  Perhaps you'll love me too
