Lyrics

The Smile — Zero Sum

Zero-sum, moot point

A cutout trying to fill the void

A shit grin, a performance

A tipping point, loose banister

The physical lines of forced thought

That's a lot to burn for no reason

A gas leak, I'm falling through the ice

A vacant lot to buy, vacant lot to buy

Played live

“Zero Sum” was last played on 22 June 2024 at La Rotonda del Lungomare Vittorio Emanuele III, Taranto.
