He stood in the road outside of town with a broken clockwork toy in
His hand: a graveyard for childish dreams in his palm; a broken lifeline.

Big nothing.

The mechanical amusement sputtered in his fist. as he clenched, it
Whirred and died again. it was a cowboy who drew his gun, but the

For. the cellophane illusion of a starry sky stretched over an open sore.

Big nothing.

He woke up in a sweat. the next day, with her smile still painted on his
Mouth, he walked out of a town called big nothing.

Big nothing. (repeat until fade)
