Looking At Nothing

Looking at this world humanly speaking
from the perspective of no real future
thinking that this earth can't continue
knowing no remedy so no cure

Think of living without any religion
no knowledge of truth to depend upon
you have absolutely nothing out there
not knowing so life's good as gone

You've no knowledge of tomorrow
nothing stares you in the face
looking through your window frame
blocked your sight you've got no place

Seeing deep inside look for a road
any route will do better than nothing
taking you to where you don't know what
nothing is there not even something

Vacant is your only look
unknown nothing empty so unreal
this is fear to grip unmoveable
nowhere to see just to fear
