Zero

I was born pale and invisible In a world Sees everything Everything, everything….but me Invisible to your touch And doubt you’ll like me very much Am I alive? Was I ever me? I’m a non-existent cipher A pointless empty zero Never added up to anything A non-existent cipher Pointless empty zero Tell me….what does it all mean? And now I think I want you Ethereal body Oblivious mask And now I think I love you Intelligent lips Painted in black But no need to look my way Or give me the time of day Can’t be with you In this world Invisible man Never gets the girl Oh, no... I’ll find where you are And watch from afar You will be felt by me I’ll find where you are And watch from afar You will be loved by me Your Zero Tonight Your Zero For life Your zero The day I die Your zero….your zero Zero
