ode to nothing

i thought that sometime i knew bad
didn't know bad
i knew nothing
thought that sometime i knew good
didn't know good
i knew nothing
thought that sometime i knew you
didn't know you, i knew nothing
thought that sometime you knew me
but you could not see, you saw nothing

look at the icicles, aren't they beautiful?
listen, silence is so wild

people say that nothing's bad
nothing's good, nothing busts you out
people say that nothing's wrong
but nothing's right, nothing busts you out
people say that nothing's death
but nothing's life, nothing busts you out
people say that something's up
but nothing's down, nothing's down with me

look at the icicles, aren't they beautiful?
listen, silence is so wild
