[Verse 1]
Zero and zero is nothing but zero
Cancer and people conspire together
Running and running and going forever
Collected and sampled, starving for zero

[Chorus]
Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built-in migraine
Come see my cage, built-in migraine

[Verse 2]
Minus the inside and minus the circle
Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel
Wherein and herein, between us and near us
Zero and zero is nothing but zero

[Chorus]
Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built in migraine
Come see my cage, built in migraine

[Bridge]
Keeping myself alive through your empathy
Keeping myself alive through your empathy
Keeping myself alive through your empathy
Keeping myself alive through your empathy
Let me go
Keeping myself alive through your empathy
Keeping myself alive through your empathy
Keeping myself alive through your empathy
Keeping myself alive through your empathy
Leave me alone

[Outro]
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
