Lyrics

Drop

Beautiful nothing

Beautiful nothing

Verse 1

Sun

Copper plate

Hammered thin

Pressed against the world

I am standing on the edge

Jagged thoughts

Counting lessons

Silence taught me everything

Air is liquid

Heavy

Sweet

Ghosts shuffle their feet

In a palace

Three oceans

Far away

Left in salt and spray

Chorus

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide

Trading the clock for the pulse of the tide

The jungle is breathing a rhythmic green lung

Language that has never been sung

The deeper you wander the less the heart knows

Follow where the green water flows

Follow where the green water flows

Drop

Beautiful nothing

Beautiful nothing

Verse 2

Driftwood

Bone cathedral

I worship being alone

Stars

Buckshot on silk

Galaxy pouring frozen milk

Fire eats

The dark

Cedar spark

Chaotic ballet of chance

My shadow

Tattered sail

Longer than a tall tale

The sand is the ledger

The wind is the ink

Erasing footprints before I can think

Heavy lead

Gold in pockets

I give it to the fish instead

Chorus

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide

Trading the clock for the pulse of the tide

The jungle is breathing a rhythmic green lung

Language that has never been sung

The deeper you wander the less the heart knows

Follow where the green water flows

Follow where the green water flows

Bridge

Sinking in layers of sapphire and grey

Washing the last of the ego away

The pressure is music

The silence is loud

Wrapped in the folds of a watery shroud

A ripple

A vapor

A spark in the brine

Losing the yours and losing the mine

Losing the yours and losing the mine

Drop

Beautiful nothing

Beautiful nothing

Verse 3

Ships pass

Dream on the rim

Let the yellow turtles swim

King

No kingdom

Man with no name

Playing a wild and nameless game

Ripe fruit

Hollowed pipe

Smoke and clouds

Blurring out the horizon line

Into the beautiful nothing we were

Into the beautiful nothing we were

Outro

Beautiful nothing

Nowhere to hide

Pulse of the tide

The beautiful nothing

Nothing at all

Nothing at all
