[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

Zero conversation

Words upon a page

No communication

No respect

Zero but a world of words

A war of simple rage

Not worth the time

To look in or dissect

[Pre-Chorus]

He said, "Wait, I'm not ready

I wasn't really treated fair"

"Wait, not in a hurry

I want the time I wasted back

When I thought no one cared"

[Verse 2]

Positively negative

Zero minus one

He believes

He believes in what he say

A lifetime in a moment passes

Zero minus one

Borrowed time

Borrow one more day

[Pre-Chorus]

Wait, I'm not ready

I wasn't really treated fair

Wait, not in a hurry

I want the time I wasted back

When I thought no one cared

[Chorus]

Just enough to keep you down

Up to zero

Just enough to keep you down

Just enough to keep you down

I'm up to zero

Just enough to keep you down

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Wasted, wanted, needed, feel

When all is said and done

Christened, baptized

Spitting on the Son

Stop it here, one more deal

A moment now to beg or steal

A scrap of meat or one last meal

Stop it here, stop it here... and

[Pre-Chorus]

Wait, I'm not ready

I wasn't really treated fair

Wait, not in a hurry

I want the time I wasted back

When I thought no one cared

[Chorus]

Just enough to keep you down

Up to zero

Just enough to keep you down

Just enough to keep you down

Up to zero

Just enough to keep you down

[Outro]

Keep you down

Keep you down
