Zero - Zero Lyrics
1. The Grimace Below
girders rust as steel bones
ice cold ashes steady flow
a heat pulsing through the chicken wire
mirage cascades, illuminates pyre
pitch black
gnashing teeth
eyes gaze
plastic beat
a creak
a hiss
this body erodes
life flows fire creeps
through drains and pipes as life depletes
blood steams a cool freeze
frozen corpses never sleep
red eyes glow
from cold shadows
wretched wretch
on charred gallows
a rancid retch
the grimace below
2. Whispers
forgotten who you are
just an apparition
floating through this waking world
has destroyed your soul
been led astray
fading away
corrupted bound by flesh
strip it away
strip it away
shut your eyes and tumble down
listen to the ghosts
whispering in your sleep
past selfs
and imagined landscapes
walled by darkness
hold the keys
to who it is
you are meant to be...
wake up
slipping away
fading away
past your conscious mind
strip it away
strip it away
as you slide into a dream
listen to the ghosts
whispering in your sleep...
3. Real Me Watching Me
i keep trying and trying
to lift my feet
i keep running
but meed keeps clinging to my boots
i keep moving down a path
surrounded by darkness
i keep moving
but keep coming back to the start
can't turn back now
can't turn away
clock hands push you forth
'til your corpse meets you face to face
i keep trying and failing
i'm searching but losing my mind
no answers
can't even find the fucking question
this life is a series
of choices and actions
made blindly
and now it's too late to correct them
winding through the darkness
each decision births ten more
hurling past each moment
each bridge crossed is five more scorched
grasping at the past
each pause is another... death
turn back
can't turn back now
turn back
i'm running away
i'm divulging divergence
real me is watching
he's walking
he's looking this way and he's crying
i keep trying
i keep trying
i keep trying
i keep trying
i keep trying
he's looking this way as he cries
4. Dark Streets
stripped away of pleasure
suffering the day
driven to madness
or self release
the city's dark, people sleep
riding/take me through these dark streets
the sun goes down, it's an excuse
i'm being called and i can't refuse
only one way out
from this darkened mind
only one way out
these dark streets
under an orange glow
feel the concrete pulse
begin the rite
excorcise restraint
pushed down - push back
give- take back
5. Zero
reach out and pull it in
just a vessel, let it flow
from the ether it comes
resonates humanity
no thought just energy
give it back, let it escape
balance is maintained
synergy not entropy
shut your eyes and open your mind
creative force is pulsing through
boundaries destroyed
expression/connection
myriad thoughts and actions release
source of dreams, source of life
permeates the atmosphere
sees through flesh
energy release
you are not alone
energy cycles
find a new home
cosmic balance kept in check
void is substance, substance void
matter and antimatter flux
balances at zero
creative force dissipates - new form
entropic process, ether glows
brain as sponge recycles
synergy not entropy
6. At War With The World
smashed, crushed
past layers of rock
roots die less deep
water seeps less far
rock by rock
earth exposed
beaten out
hits the core
fury increases
as cancer feeds
fueled by digger
clawing raw wounds
so easy to lose faith
cause no one gives a shit!
so easy to lose faith
humanity's a fucking scourge!
scientists theorize
while pundits propagandize
drowning in their greed
planting destruction's seed
7. Under The Mask
mask of pain
face of truth
face of pain
masking truth
this mask is truthful, permitting
hides the hint of smile
covers the skin and transforms me
allows this id to roam free
under the mask
the skin stretches, expresses
a conscious projection
a forced smile
peel back the skin
sinew, muscle, and bone
peel back the skin
to find myself
another mask
another lie
where am i?
who am i?
this mask is painful, limiting
hides the hint of smile
freedom at a price
truth i don't wanna see
under the mask
the skin stretches, expresses
morphing with expectation
a forced smile
peel back the skin...
another mask...
face the pain
mask the truth
mask the pain
facing truth
under the mask
under the skin
under the bone
my mind is my home
8. Endless Fight
earth rotating brings new sun
the endless monotony
named and distracted
options confused
forever! forever!
the fight lasts forever
can't ever win, you can't ever lose
forever! forever!
endlessly fighting
we strive to find a reason
reason to continue
numb and distracted
we desire a purpose
every time you want to give up
is a reason to try harder....
9. Life's A Maze
trapped in a dense web the spider approaches
sensing the tremors
dynamic maze shifts as man, tries to understand it
searching for answers
simplified paths limit the chance of success
escaping the fangs
believing to know the way man strikes forth
his own destruction
no answer - there is no answer
no truth - cannot find truth
can't find a meaning to nonsense
to know truth is ignorance
life's a maze, no escape
the universe in flux is constantly moving
spirals into chaos
arachnid web fractals create a vortex
ensuing doom
held in feedback loop seizures begin
sensing the tremors
eight legs race forth to its struggling prey
humanity
