Hold on to Nothing

Hold on to nothing
Hold on to coldest steel
Chill you down inside
When you see just what is real

Paste it up and tear it down
Move it on along the rushing road
Seventeen Fahrenheit
Feel the winter grow

There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down

There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it down, write it down

Step down the alley
Walkin' against the stony crowd
You're tryin' not to listen
Hey, but they shout so loud

Chew you up and spit you out
Crush you 'tween its finger and its thumb
This world in all its anger
Oh, there's always more to come

There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down

There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it down, write it down
