Born at Zero Lyrics by Deer Tick

Tim EP

2012

[Verse 1]
You're coming back, I don't know why I feel so bad
Oh, a picture always hurts more than words
You're born at zero, and dead at 23
Ain't it fucking cold, and the dirt comes free

[Verse 2]
You make it clear, you take me as insincere
A picture I can't live without seein'
Oh, you made your point, I never robbed you of a choice
And I can hear a longing in your voice

[Chorus]
I'm a sorry mess, to see your face
I wanna hold you close, but I push you away
I wanna feel your skin upon my skin
But I'm not feeling great, about letting you in

[Verse 3]
Close your eyes, it's just about time to speak
Our dreams only come true in better dreams
I dream of me in the middle of a rugged street
Oh, praying to God that one day I'll be clean

Oh, look at the clock, I wish it was a time machine
'Cause I could have been anything [?]

[Chorus]
I'm a sorry mess *to see your face*
I wanna hold you close, but I push you away
I wanna feel your skin upon my skin
But I'm not feeling great, about letting you in

[Outro]
Born at zero, and dead at 23
Ain't it fucking cold, and the dirt come free
