Zero-Sum
Nine Inch Nails
Year Zero (2007)

They're starting to open up the sky.
They're starting to reach down through.
It feels like they're letting that in that split second of darkness.
And time is slowing down.
And if we only had a little more time.
And this time is all there is.
Do you remember the time we .....
And all the times we .....
And should have... and were going to.... and now...
And then do you remember how we could justify it all?
And we knew better in our hearts.
We knew better.
And we told ourselves it didn't matter and we chose to continue.
And none of that matters anymore in the hour of our twilight.
And soon it will be all said and done and we'll all be back together as one
And we will continue....

Shame on us, we knew from the start.
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts.
Shame on us, for all we have done.
And all we ever were is zeros and ones.

And you never get away.
And you never get to take the easy way.
And all this is a consequence of our own mind,
Our own hand.
If you believe in that sort of thing.
And did you ever really find when you closed your eyes,
Anyplace that was still at any peace?
And i guess I just wanted to tell you as night starts to fade,
That I am not afraid.
I guess I just wanted to mention,
If heavens will fall, we will be together soon.

Shame on us, we knew from the start.
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts.
Shame on us, for all we have done.
And all we ever were is zeros and ones.
