The Sum of All Our Parts

Life of denial helps me push them all away
Those who would hinder me
And I must admit it frightens me a little bit
To think I could love again

One
The sum of all our parts
Plus nothing

Short-famed no-name circumstancial demagogue
Seen though a peerless fog
And I can't dismiss having ever wanted this
Until I pushed myself away

One
The sum of all our parts
From nothing

Remote mind control
In soft, subtle sine waves
Can't reach me here in a mental grave

Out of time, out of place
That which I erase

Out of place, out of time
Early warning signs

Out of sight, out of mind
How did I get left behind?

I said, "I'm dead"; and sure as I am lying there
Nobody really cares
So I fade away...

One
Nothing
