"Nothing, Gathered" lyrics

I am nothing
Gathered and left to wonder
Left to wonder
If anything can make my heart grow fonder
Heart grow fonder
Is beauty best seen from far away?
Far away
Can love exist before the story?

I call for its return, not its repetition
To feel it again and bear new witness
Destruction over the need to overcome
To start again as soon as it's done

The painter's prayer
The painter's prayer
The painter's prayer
To capture what's already there

To liberate the subtleties of how something without weight is so heavy
It's so overwhelming
It's so overwhelming

I am nothing
I'd sooner see the fields on fire
Than be left to wonder if they could burn
All of Hell's love and Heaven's fury rests at the edge of what we could be
What we could be

I am nothing
Gathered and left to wonder
Left to wonder
If anything can make my heart grow fonder
Heart grow fonder
Is beauty best seen from far away?
Far away
Can love exist before the story ends?

May you never again meet a person like me
One so wholly hollowed by misery
The painter's prayer
The painter's prayer
The painter's prayer
To capture what's already there

To liberate the subtleties of how something without weight is so heavy
It's so overwhelming
It's so overwhelming
I am nothing
I am nothing
Death denied
Death denied
