The Divine Zero
[Verse 1]
Maybe I could swim into your thoughts like your drugs do
Paralyze your body, sick and tired of waking up to
Burning eyes and cigarettes
Iâm 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
Donât think about it, donât over think about it
And life is a joke, but everythingâs riding on me tonight
Been counting the stars and scars
How Iâm becoming a work of art
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
The whispered words âYouâd better hide the bulletsâ
You stayed on the phone and talked to me day and night
Trigger my nightmare once again
Itâs f**king loaded in hand
And weâll let the fire rage
The smoke and the drowning flames
My bedroom computer light is the only menace to my new faux wooden blinds
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Now, I only pray when it all goes down
Iâll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about
And then burn it down
[Verse 3]
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, letâs slow it down
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Now, I only pray when it all goes down
Iâll be surrounded by all of the ones I've loved and cared about
And then burn it down
[Outro]
Your serotonin's gone
The kerosene is gone
The sunset is gone
So hold on
