nowhere man in a nowhere land

Picture

the answer is not new!
it's naught. 
nothing!
you go nowhere 
find nothing
so you're not 
disappointed

It took me to now to find this
because I was trying to go somewhere
you don't find something somewhere

you need nothing, you get nothing
you have to go nowhere for that
so once I was forced to be nowhere
I found nothing and that's the answer!

so [K]not the noose

Now that I've found nothing nowhere
I'll never need nothing nowhere
no more
