I need this to be nothing
I need this nothing now
I don’t need this to be anything
It doesn’t make sense anyhow
I need there to be silence
But I want there to be song
I need to not crave violence
But I want to scream along
I need this to be nothing
I need this feeling gone
I need this craving disappear
I know I’m always wrong
I thought to just ignore it
But it just won’t go away
I thought I could just kill it
But it thinks it can just stay
I need this to be nothing
Last time I will repeat
My heart will not survive
Another daring feat
I’m contemplating moving
I think I’ll up and flee
I’ll quit my job and join the force
And think of more than me —
But then I think it’s more than nothing
And get starting to believe
My heart might just survive this
— oh how I’m so naive!
So I need this to be nothing
So I can just move on
If only a new crush was found easily
I could make the feeling gone
