[Intro]
[Spoken Word]
This one is about a lamp that was never needed.
Nothing Was Missing.
[Verse 1]
I went out looking with a lamp
through rooms I'd never left,
asking every door I passed
to tell me where I'd gone.
The dark was not an empty thing —
the dark was full, and still.
[Chorus]
Nothing was missing.
Nothing came in.
No lamp was lit —
the light was already there,
and I looked up.
Nothing was missing.
It just wasn't seen.
[Verse 2]
Then something slowed, and something set,
and in the setting, twice I felt:
the first said oh — I am,
the second, oh — I might not be.
One turning, and it wore two faces.
That's how a self begins.
[Bridge]
There is no road to walk.
There is no promise here.
It isn't fair, and it was never earned —
it falls to you, or doesn't,
and if it falls, you were no better
than the one it passed by.
[Verse 3]
So I stopped asking where.
The asking was the door.
[Chorus]
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Nothing was missing.
It just wasn't seen.
[Spoken Word]
The wave can come. The wave can go.
The point remains.
