Malcolm Middleton - Zero lyrics

I still like going round the old places from my past Watching from the outside in the hope they'll take me back It's not my youth I'm after, it's not the protection I just can't seem to get on with the man that I've become All my life, I've been waiting for you All my time, I've been preparing for you Training myself like a dumb dog Restraining myself with chains Teach the past to stand up straight So I can make the present change All my life, I've been waiting for you All my time, I've been preparing for you Never give up, it'll never be the same Never give in, you've got to jump out of your frame There's comfort in self hatred It reeks of "return to form" Leave the curtains shut, keep out The glitter from the sun Bones crossed into a tangent hug An awkward silence, and a toothy grin I wouldn't mind turning into powder with you If the moon doesn't come and drag the evil in Sick of noise and sick of song Writing words and righting wrongs But I just keep going I'll keep on going Moonbeams cause failure Disaster and tiffs Songs these days are too wordy And the accents are all sh** All my life, I've been waiting for you All my time, I've been preparing for you Never give up, it'll never be the same Never give in, you've got to jump out of your frame All my life, I've been waiting for you All my time, I've been preparing for you It doesn't matter what you know Or if there's good times coming It doesn't matter that you'll be ok When the grey rain vinegars in towards your heart There's a river down your arm, and you cannae answer that There's a rumbling outside, and the whole house is shaking The world conspires against you, and the safety lines are thrown But you can't see for the gold dust in your eyes Your past is made of failures of foundations of futures It doesnae matter, cause you're living for the moment The moment is sh** It'll soon be over, but that doesn't help When you can see around 7 corners You're aware of all possible Potentials and outcomes Oblivion or zero, It's time to take control Consequences vanish when you're fighting for your soul Tell me that I'll be ok, tell me without doubt A shouting man running, as his flame flickers out
