Less Than Zero

Get out of my head, or I'll fill it with led

My knuckles are red, better watch where you tread

Your words are a knife, twisting into my life

Like the cigarette burns that we made last night

Blood on the ground, makes the world spin around

The emperor's clothes doesn't match his new crown

And I keep on making the same mistake

If I'm not dreaming than I must be awake

I'm not like them

I'll pretend for the weekend

Ran out of thread

Watch me go off the deep end

Less than zero

Don't be a hero

Baby, it's only the weight of the world

I rest my head on guilt and hate

And make my bed with the pain I create

Grow back my soul in the shape of a hole

Doesn't matter the toll

We have damage control

I wish that I was just like you

So unaffected, so unamused

I'll shatter my skull just to have what's true

Take the blue out the sky

Like your knees so bruised

I'm not like them

I'll pretend for the weekend

Ran out of thread

Watch me go off the deep end

Less than zero

Don't be a hero

I'm not like them

I'll pretend for the weekend

Ran out of thread

Watch me go off the deep end

Less than zero

Don't be a hero

Took what I could even if it was broken

Cry me a river, I'll swim in your ocean

Less than zero

Don't be a hero

Baby, it's only the weight of the world

It's only the weight of the world
