Lyrics Nine Inch Nails – Zero–Sum

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

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
