lyrics

My mind is running down
Like an old machine
I hold my head up and look around
For what is left of me
Out in the distance a pair of eyes
That never look away
In desperation I’m begging you
Be what I need today
Could I call you my hero
Because all of mine are gone
And I’m feeling like a zero
Before but not within
Could I call you my hero
My last one was a fake
We don’t need another Nero
Call me Mr. Zero
He was a shade of gray
I’d never seen before
A broken essence a withered man
Without the words to speak
Just then in my head I heard a call
A ghostly voice that said.
“Head on but know
That the life you live
Is on the way to death”
But could I call you my hero
Because all of mine have died
And the end is near oh no
Within but not beyond.
Could I call you my hero
Will you fake it for a day
I could settle for a Nero
Call me Mr. Zero
Eternally now left to wander
Within the valley of the dead
Cold beneath the earth
If you let me call you hero
I won’t get in your way
I’m not living in fear oh no
Help me cross the great divide
The silence in the air is haunting
I fell into the end
Look into the sky
Blinded by the sun.
