Carry the Zero

[Verse 1]

I'm not knocking your want to carry that home

Took it with you when you moved and got it broke

Found the pieces, we counted them all alone

Didn't add up, forgot to carry a zero

[Verse 2]

I can't be your apologist very long

I'm surprised that you'd want to carry that on

Count your blemishes; you can't, they're all gone

I can't see your response putting them back on

[Verse 3]

Like they're waiting for your guard to fall

So they can see it all and you're so

Occupied with what other persons are

Occupied with and vice versa

[Outro]

And you've become

What you thought was dumb

A fraction of the sum

Yeah, you've become

Yeah, you have become

A fraction of the sum

The middle and the front

And now it's coming back

Hasn't it come too far?

I was trying to help

But I guess I pushed too hard

Now we can't even touch it

Afraid it'll fall apart
