Song Description
This song features Megan Van Alstine on vocals and is about the life of substance abuse and the realization of the devastating toll that it takes.
As they hunkered down in the closet, Brian and Liz fired up another hit. As the flame painted their tired eyes with tints of red and orange; the smoke filled their lungs as well as the closet. Oblivious to phone calls and/or door bells, they both emerged from their drug induced fantasy to the reality that... I got nothin'.

Lyrics
I Got Nothin
Megan Van Alstine (Vocals), Matt Wallace (Sax), Lyrics & Music by Frank Pietrantoni
How many times do I say
Just one will be alright.
Too many nights I lie awake
Just fightin' to tell what's right
Now I know I got nothin'
Nothin' to brag about but the loss...
And all the time I waste on lies
Seems worth the cost to play
And laughs...laughs turn to cries
As night turns to day
My dreams just fade away
Now I know I got nothin'
Nothin' to brag about but
Now I know I needed somethin'
Or someone to help me out
Gotta face here spaced out with me
Only good for one thing
To light the flame to shame on with me
Every night's the same ole thing.
Now I know I got nothin'
Nothin' to brag about but
Now I know I needed somethin'
Or someone to help me out
(repeat)
