"Not For Nothing" lyrics

"Not For Nothing"

Sooner or later
Everything I have I'll lose
If not for nothing

Phasing and fading
Only got one chance to prove
It's not for nothing

Goddamn
In tune
I'm all about it
Only got one chance to prove
The all in nothing

Shot down
Detuned
Then soon forgotten
So what have I got to lose?
It is unstoppable

We space
We time
We poltergeists
We're born
We die
Our stars explode to afterlives

We lovers
We foes
We bells
We toll
We seem so high
Just babes in flight in the afterlife

One more drop of gasoline
To the devil in the dirt, her violent dream
Oh dawn to feel the light you bring
But there's a storm outside
A storm outside

Of all the times and all the scenes
How lucky to be woken, how lucky to be free
I gotta go outside
But there's a storm outside
A storm outside

Goddamn
In tune
I'm all about it
Only got one chance to prove
The all in nothing

Shot down
Detuned
Then soon forgotten
So what have I got to lose?
It is unstoppable

Goddamn
In tune
(We're space, we're time
We're poltergeists)
I'm all about it
Only got one chance to prove
(We're born, we die, our stars)
The all in nothing

Shot down
Detuned
(We're lovers, we're foes
We're bells, we toll)
Then soon forgotten
(We seemed so high, just babes in flight)
So what have I got to lose?
It's not for nothing

Sooner or later
With everything I have to lose
It's not for nothing
Phasing then fading
Only got one chance to prove
We are unstoppable
