Nothingness Blues
By 
Phillip Hennessy
 In hell or heaven 
Here on earth 
What you're given's 
what you're worth 
You're given your Life 
You're gifted your Love 
What's Taken, for Granted 
Gets taken away 
When there's nothing to prove 
And there's nothing to lose 
that's all you're left with, 
The Nothingness blues.  
Some will leave,  
Some will grieve 
Some return,  
and Some will burn 
From nothing, we came,  
so it's all returned.  
All you take with you,  
is what you have learned.
