Nine Inch Nails – Zero-Sum (Stephen Morris & Gillian Gilbert)

They’re starting to open up the sky, they’re starting to reach down through.
And it feels like we’re living in that split second of a car crash.
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…?
I know.

And I know 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 will all be back together, as one…
If we will continue at all.

Shame on us, doomed 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. Just zeroes and ones

And you never get away, and you never get to take the easy way,
And all of this is a consequence, brought on by our own hand
If you believe in that sort of thing.
And did you ever really find, when you closed your eyes,
Any place that was still, and at peace?

And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade,
That you are the reason that I am not afraid.
And I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall,
We will be together soon if we will be anything at all.

Shame on us, doomed 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. Just zeroes and ones
