[Verse 1]
Welcome to nowhere fast
Nothing here ever lasts
Nothing but memories
Of what never was
[Chorus 1]
We're nowhere, we're nowhere
We're nowhere to be
Nowhere, we're nowhere

[Verse 2]

So sick I wish I'd die
Down in the belly of the beast
I can't lie
[Chorus 1]
You're nowhere, you're nowhere

And live for always
[Chorus 2]
And forever, forever
You're forever to be
Forever, forever
You're forever to me
To me
[Outro]
You!
