Zero Songtext
von Malcolm Middleton

Still I go around the old places from my past
Watching from the outside in the hope they′ll take me back
It's not my youth I′m after, it's not protection
I just can't seem to get on with the man that I′ve become
All my life I′ve been waiting for you
All my time I've been preparing for you
Treat myself like a dumb dog, restrain myself with chains
It takes the past to stand up straight
So I can make the present change
All my life I′ve been waiting for you
All my time I've been preparing for you
Never give up, it′ll never be the same
Never give in, you gotta jump out of your frame
To comfort any self-hatred, the roots are returned to form
Leave the curtains shut, keep out the glare from the sun
Bones crushed into a tangent hug, an
Awkward silence on the toothache ground
I wouldn't mind turning to powder for you
If the moon doesn′t come and drag evil in
Sick of noise, sick of songs, writing words of right and wrongs


But I just keep going, I'll keep on going
Moonbeams cause failure, disaster and tiff
Songs these days are too wordy and accents are all shit
All my life I've been waiting for you
All my time I′ve been preparing for you
Never give up, it′ll never be the same
Never give in, you gotta jump out of your frame
All my life I've been waiting for you
All my time I′ve been preparing for you
It doesn't matter what you know or if there′s good times coming
It doesn't matter that you′ll be okay
When the grey rain vinegars in towards your heart
There's a river down your arm and you cannae answer that
There's a rumbling outside, the whole house is shaking
The world conspires against you and the safety lines are thrown
But you can′t see for the gold dust in your eyes
Your past is made of failures, of foundations, of futures
It doesn′t matter because you're living for the moment
The moment is shit, it′ll soon be over but it doesn't help
When you can see around seven corners
You′re aware of all possible potentials and outcomes
Oblivion or zero, it's time to take control
Consequences vanish when you′re fighting for your soul
Tell me that I'll be okay, tell me without doubt
A shouting man running as his flame flickers out
