Zero // Smashing Pumpkins
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 we’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 kingdoms
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.

How like us to assume that our weakness and limited experience is true of God.
“At least if I have no one, I will be clean. Clean of passion and pain, clean in a way that allows me to transcend this mess and be like god.”
At some point, if we lose all faith in everything, how strange that it’s that very lack of faith itself which we then put our faith in. Doesn’t that seem to make the faithlessness sort of like god? A higher standard on which we feel we can sort of rely and upon which we base our decisions?
But then, that cannot be God. To be faced with a god that is as detached and insignificant as I am or merely an attribute of my weaker self is horrible…
