Albums > Faith & Superstition > Lyrics > Track 1. Nothing Else

The conversation in the crowded room dies; warm becomes cold, the expressions change, a space opens up around you. Society has drawn a line in the sand, you, the uncomprehending innocent, have stepped across it…. What will happen now?

This is the song that I am not free to sing you
These are the words I am not permitted to say
The truth that now must be concealed the light that cannot be revealed
This the prayer that you may never dare to pray

This is the voice that can never make the airwaves
These are the facts that must not be disclosed
All this is restricted information
And nothing is what you might have supposed

But nothing else, nothing else will ever reach you
Nothing else, nothing else can make the change
There is nothing else, nothing else that you can cling to
There is nothing else, nothing else will ease your pain

I offer you a sheet of plain white paper
An empty space just aching for the words
I offer you a silent place, you strain your ears but hear no trace
Of the music now condemned to stay unheard

But nothing else, nothing else will hold together
On the day that all things fall apart
Nothing else, nothing else can ever hope to satisfy
The craving of the hunger in your heart
