I am nothing

tonight i'm nothing
it doesn't matter where i've been
delay of reaction is
the unseen movie of this life

i remember one of my friends
telling me to go ahead

water on every side
there's a dead spot in my eye
if i listen close at night
there's something coming my way

like someone called my name
but i didn't care to look that way
i just fixed my eyes into the crowd
it would have been strange to turn around

if you would tell me that i was someone
then for a second i would think
just like i would try to consider
how it would feel to know

i have to get on with this
it's a decision for tonight
out to look for chances
it is murder of my mind

once i was someone new
i was chosen for a while
then with time i am changing
at least that is what they say

what is worth with being here
i pray so often for a change
