Remains of Nothing by Evan Schafer Lyrics
She hired a hitman to take me out
On Broadway
I’ll talk to my mother
Again someday, he said
I smile away the sadness and
I pile away the fear
In a corner that’s trading the waves on the sea
I used to drive a Chevy
But now I fly solo on bike wheels
I spoke to the others
When nothing seemed to go right
I’m keeping the startled cartaway and
I’m loving that golden ring
You gave me, then remains of nothing
I’m singing the songs you hear on Broadway
I’m on the tallest towers on Broadway
Billboards, papers and magazines on Broadway
Tailing me down Broadway until I’m gone
Put me on paper, someone will read this story
It’s a dark fairy tale but no one believes me
I used to play the fiddle but
Then I lost all my soul
Carve a soapbox tale from beyond the grave
I’m just a little cheeky and possibly insane
I won’t provoke this theory in tempo
I’ve hidden away the lost boys
And kept safe all the slaves
Derail me here with remains of nothing
On Broadway
I’ll talk to my mother
Again someday, he said
I smile away the sadness and
I pile away the fear
In a corner that’s trading the waves on the sea
I used to drive a Chevy
But now I fly solo on bike wheels
I spoke to the others
When nothing seemed to go right
I’m keeping the startled cartaway and
I’m loving that golden ring
You gave me, then remains of nothing
I’m singing the songs you hear on Broadway
I’m on the tallest towers on Broadway
Billboards, papers and magazines on Broadway
Tailing me down Broadway until I’m gone
Put me on paper, someone will read this story
It’s a dark fairy tale but no one believes me
I used to play the fiddle but
Then I lost all my soul
Carve a soapbox tale from beyond the grave
I’m just a little cheeky and possibly insane
I won’t provoke this theory in tempo
I’ve hidden away the lost boys
And kept safe all the slaves
Derail me here with remains of nothing
