Dark Tranquillity
Zero Distance
Hey
What is your life about today?
A pit of emptiness
A close resemblance
To what you thought is right
So wrong
You don't belong
The face you hold
Is false
Drawn to the darkest emotions
Sworn to the vortex of grief
Disguised as sympathy
It's not supposed to be
I know you're faking it
So take a look around
Zero distance
From where do you see yourself?
Zero distance
How far are you willing to go?
A broken perspective
That you impose on the innocent
Your fallen set of standards
You go beyond what is decisively human
Take from others what you do not have
What you cannot own
Wear the mask
Be the mask
You hide behind
We're not supposed to see
I know you're faking it
So take a look around
Zero distance
From where do you see yourself?
Zero distance
How far are you willing to go?
Zero distance
Can you see what I see?
Zero distance
How far are you already on?
To the end of what you fear
Take a firm hold of that outmost misery
I want to see you show
Disgust for sympathy
Honour and bravery
I know you're faking it
So take a look around
Zero distance
From where do you see yourself?
Zero distance
How far are you willing to go?
