Flower Of Zero


What’s to see
See, but the secret?
Crystal balls
Sittin’ in our sockets

What’s to feel
Feel but the presence?
Shakti fields
Surge in our circuits

Steep it, cook it
Love is an oven
A couple ones
And I can bake you eleven
Shake it, cut it
Open the vessel
A couple wounds
Could give you a vineyard

	What’s another bruise in the belly?
	Can’t you take a punch like a lover?
	Don’t you wanna dance in the gutter
	For the flower of a zero?

	What’s another spike in the muscle
	To a couple twins in the riddle?
	Falling out of hell like the petals
	From the flower of a zero

Flower,
Zero

Daddy likes polishin’ his pistol
Mother digs fingerin’ her bible
Sister’s stuck under an uncle
I got a brother down
bingin’ in the basement

Shaking shadows
Out of the mortals
You duke it out
Till the devils are dizzy
Breakin’ knuckles
Climbin’ a spiral
Diggin’ jewels
Out of a jungle

	What’s another bruise in the belly?
	Can’t you take a punch like a lover?
	Don’t you wanna bleed like a mother?
	For the flower of a zero

	What’s another spike in the muscle
	To a couple twins in the riddle?
	Falling out of hell like the petals
	From the flower of a zero

Flower
Zero

Baby
why do we do this?
We’ve already been through this
We’re all Jesus and Judas
(especially the Buddhists)

But I keep
feeding the fantasy
God,
I’d love a lobotomy
Before I
murder the mystery
I need you to lift me
Above
All this shit I’ve learned
Show me the way
Without a word

Flower
Zero

Better forget about halos
Better forget about heros
It’s only an enso
C’mon baby,
Show me a zero

	What’s another bruise in the belly?
	Can’t you take a punch like a lover?
	Don’t you wanna bleed like a mother?
	For the flower of a zero?

	What’s another spike in the muscle?
	To a couple twins in the riddle?
	There’s nobody here but the petals
	From a flower of a zero

Flower,
Zero
