He's got the fool's gold,
slipping through his fingers.
I wish I had the heart,
to let him know.
She's got the whole world,
sitting on her shoulders.
I wish I had the strength,
to set her free.

Piece by piece,
Limb by limb.
We have all been dissected.

They've got nothing,
a cold, empty, nothing.
I wish I had the heart,
to let them know. We've got something,
better than nothing.
I wish I had the strength,
to set you free.

Piece by piece,
Limb by limb.
We have all been dissected.

Piece by piece,

I am nothing,
a cold-hearted nothing.
I wish I was something,
but I'm just nothing.
