The Divine Zero

Maybe I could swim into your thoughts like your drugs do Paralyze your body, sick and tired of waking up too Burning eyes and cigarettes I'm falling through the couch like a suicide mission tonight My God, here comes the downside Wild eyes of terror pray for sex on the beach While oceans of kerosene will soak into me I'm not meant for this world, I just don't see the point Don't think about it, don't overthink about it And life is a joke But everything's riding on me tonight Been counting the stars and scars How I'm becoming a work of art In desperate times and desperate measures I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile The whispered words "You'd better hide the bullets" You stayed on the phone and talked to me day and night Trigger my nightmare once again And it's fucking loaded in hand And we'll let the fire rage The smoke and the drowning flames My bedroom computer light is the only menace to my new faux wooden blinds In desperate times and desperate measures I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile Now, I only pray when it all goes down I'll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about And then burn it down Go! Yeah! And life is a joke At least I can love you, naked and tattooed Counting the stars and scars And if the pain is a sound, let's slow it down Desperate times and desperate measures I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile Now, I only pray when it all goes down I'll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about And then burn it down Your serotonin's gone The kerosene's gone The sunset is gone So hold on Your serotonin's gone The kerosene's gone The sunset is gone Yeah, it's all gone, all gone, all gone
