Nothing Lyrics - Phish

Nothing's ensconced 

Nothing's entrenched 

Nothing's entangled or twisted or wrenched 

Everything smoothly flows right through my head 

What I had hoped might linger is swept off instead 

Tunnels and channels and chasms and rifts 

Shiny smooth streams and unclimbable cliffs 

I see you ever so slowly being drawn to the sea 

As if by some signal that's unheard by me 

I stand on a featureless sheet of blue stone 

And for one instant I'm not quite alone 

Your hand is extended but then you rescin 

And you like my thoughts are borne off by the wind 

And here I maneuver in doubtful terrain 

Wondering which of my feelings remain 

Have I even met you, or is that still ahead? 

What I had hoped might linger is swept off instead
