zero

the sun could shine outside these walls and light the route we're supposed to take
the traffic lights could turn green whenever we drive away
the love we feel could burst through our pores and shout inside the silences
i bet it could if this life was a fairy tale
but that would be much too simple, that would be way too easy
a real piece of the cake we never got the chance to eat
because we're nothing
we're the zero nobody ever bets on
they say one plus one equals two but all i can see is each of us is gone
our lives could end up just the way we always wished they would
the past could be left behind, kept buried deep within
our wars could simply stop, fought over forgotten sin
i bet it could if this love was meant to be
but that would be far too easy, that would be incredibly simple
a genuine piece of the cake we shall never eat
because we're nothing
we're the zero nobody cares to bet on
they say one plus one equals two but all i can see is each of us was torn
each of us is gone
i can see each of us moved on
