My reflection, dirty mirror There's no connection to myself I'm your lover, I'm your zero I'm the face in your dreams of glass So save your prayers For when you're really gonna need 'em Throw out your cares and fly Wanna go for a ride She's the one for me She's all I really need Cause she's the one for me Emptiness is loneliness And loneliness is cleanliness And cleanliness is godliness And god is empty just like me Intoxicated with the madness I'm in love with my sadness Bullshit fakers, enchanted kindoms The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship I never let on that I was down You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore You blame yourself for wanting more She's the one for me She's all I really need She's the one for me She's my one and only |

Video Info: Directed by Yelena Yemchuk. A very strange video to say the least.For a lot of the video you can only see half of Billy's face. There's imagery of weird men and women including Jon Melvoin who looks like a crazy Beethoven who is playing the piano. People are in clothing that looks like its from Beethoven's time. Zero wasn't a chart topper even though many fans view it as one of their favorites on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
Song Secrets: Played backwards, says:
i always knew(lose) if ever all my life shed the burners (something "burn".not quite sure) it would not save me god says this not send me life send me life send me love send me love or descend me high descend me high descend me low descend me low
-At some parts it sounds like "she is god." -During the "emptiness..." part, when the instruments pause, you can hear them ring. there is a "rocket" sound from 2:26 to 2:28 (right channel). -Benoit The Sad Wizard.
