Less Than Zero
Had to leave me on my hands and knees
Great Deceiver, no redeemer
I won't tow that line if you can't even answer
Empty sky, Absent Father
Condescending verses aimed at how we're living
Broken spirit, conquered being
Where I lost you is where they said that you could save me
From all the Hells that you've created
I won't tow that line if you can't even answer
Empty sky, Absent Father
Hell is here when I'm alone
No burning rivers, screaming souls
Just silent fires and the pounding in my skull
If you're not breathing, why am I?
Charged to live this tortured life
A sentence born of sin, sin original
If you're not breathing, why should I?
Caught between these mortal cries
A castle built, built upon the lies
Where I lost you...
Where I lost you is when they said
Where I lost you is when they said that you would save me.
Generations held you high
"Just believe and never die"
Starving souls, satisfied with nothing
Underneath this empty sky
Left alone without a light
Empty words that hang above my deathbed
In this, our turning mortal hour,
We're meant to rot beneath your tower
No martyr's blood, could ever stop this bleeding
Where I lost you... where I lost you is when they said
If you're not breathing... if you're not breathing, why am I?
Had to leave me... underneath this empty sky
Hell is here... Hell is here when I'm alone
No burning rivers or screaming souls, just silent fires and the pounding in my skull
Great Deceiver, no redeemer
I won't tow that line if you can't even answer
Empty sky, Absent Father
Condescending verses aimed at how we're living
Broken spirit, conquered being
Where I lost you is where they said that you could save me
From all the Hells that you've created
I won't tow that line if you can't even answer
Empty sky, Absent Father
Hell is here when I'm alone
No burning rivers, screaming souls
Just silent fires and the pounding in my skull
If you're not breathing, why am I?
Charged to live this tortured life
A sentence born of sin, sin original
If you're not breathing, why should I?
Caught between these mortal cries
A castle built, built upon the lies
Where I lost you...
Where I lost you is when they said
Where I lost you is when they said that you would save me.
Generations held you high
"Just believe and never die"
Starving souls, satisfied with nothing
Underneath this empty sky
Left alone without a light
Empty words that hang above my deathbed
In this, our turning mortal hour,
We're meant to rot beneath your tower
No martyr's blood, could ever stop this bleeding
Where I lost you... where I lost you is when they said
If you're not breathing... if you're not breathing, why am I?
Had to leave me... underneath this empty sky
Hell is here... Hell is here when I'm alone
No burning rivers or screaming souls, just silent fires and the pounding in my skull
