The Nothing Lyrics

[Verse 1: Judah Dadone]
The nothing came in little drones
A darkness sewn in folded quantum tourniquets
The offering we made to Jove
Was not enough to keep him on the horizon
The nothing came in little drones
A darkness sewn in folded quantum tourniquets
The offering we made to Jove
Was not enough to keep him on the horizon


[Pre-Chorus 2: Judah Dadone]
When all the bridges wave and flex
With bending pitch in fractals woven
All your friends will call to us
They're floating overhead

[Chorus 1: Freelance Whales]
Give us a tone
Fill us with sound codes

[Verse 2: Judah Dadone]
Let the honeybees ferment
Glow into a mead inside the lion's head
Delicate species were meant
The pirouette into the background with the dead
[Pre-Chorus 2: Judah Dadone]
When all the bridges wave and flex
With bending pitch in fractals woven
All your friends will call to us
It's floating overhead
And when the sonic waves are shot
From cannons on a flatbed truck
The atmosphere will shake and shout
It's cracking over head

[Chorus 2: Freelance Whales]
Give us a tone
Fill us with sound codes
And grace us with deep floods
Freeze up and thaw new perennials

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
