Zero Distance - Dark Tranquillity

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?
