Story behind the song
The words explain it all. This song is written & performed by Zero. It was recorded in one take that was very rushed, and will therefore(like all the other songs) be much better in the future.
Lyrics
*here I stand alone in this desert land,
-wishing I had the balls it takes to use this gun in my hand.
*I brought it here with the intention of shooting up some targets,
-but practice isn't the only reason I can think of to arm it.
*unfortunately, people have an easy way out of their bullshit
-my whole life's under my trigger finger but I just can't do it!
*I picture myself fading, like the sunset before me,
-dropping like a manakin with no crowd around to swarm me.
*I’d get a good twelve hours of peace before I’m even discovered
, -and perhaps a couple more before the news reaches my mother.
*and for that I would go straight to hell, full of regrets.
-or be reincarnated as some type of insect.
*"what do I have to live for?", said the meal worm to the lizard,
-"my love life is even emptier than this desert."
*I stand alone as a man, and I hope that god knows why,
-it's been a twenty-three-year trip, but only as the crow flies.
*to me it feels like it's been a one-hundred year-long journey,
-which has led me to nowhere, so now I’m in a hurry,
*to find my destiny, that is, if such a thing exists,
-see, if there is an after life then the important life is this.
*right here, right now, is the only thing that matters
-you can't prove yourself to god when you're already in the hereafter.
*and if you never feel pain, you'll never know real laughter,
-so get yourself together, soldier, and take it like a chapter.
*it's just another page in life, it's bound to turn.
-go make a truckload of cash and buy a pound to burn.
*go out and change the world and find yourself a Jennifer,
-start an organization to help save the conifers.
*here on earth is my destiny. I feel I belong to the people,
-and I won't do them much good reincarnated as a beetle
*or perhaps a spider, shit, I would be so lucky,
-it's hard enough as a human trying to find someone to love me.
*I’d probably come back as a black widow, just for being a sinner,
-so by the time I finally find a mate she'll only want me for dinner.
*so life trudges on uphill against the wind and rain,
-in a world full of the dying it's so easy to do the same.
*when all you see is sickness, the evil and the insane,
-and the only sign of hope is that potential hole in your brain.
*but if you never know pain, you'll never know real after,
-so get yourself together, soldier, and take it like a chapter.
*right here, right now, is the only thing that matters,
-cause you can't prove yourself to god when you're already in the hereafter.
*alcohol, nicotine, marijuana psilocybin,
-LSD, ecstacy, heroin, cocaine and codeine vicadins.
*might as well finish yourself off instead of this hidin'
-it's gonna take you years to die with all that self-prescribin'.
*besides if you really want to test your accessability to heaven,
-put down that twenty-two and go get yourself a 357.
*or perhaps a hollow-point, fifty-four caliber,
-leaving an exit wound so big that your face can't be recognized after.
*after all we're just gods’ candles, and this mantle's full of suffering
-and the only true affiliation I feel I have is with the underlings.
*so why keep trudging up hill when nothing seems to go right?
-if I’m staying alive for something, then I’d sure as hell like to know why.
*well this time I’m opening both eyes. To hell with how the crow flies.
-I don't want to lay here and decay while the rest of the world goes by.
*cause right here, right now, is the only life that matters.
-and you can't prove yourself to god when you're already in the hereafter.
*besides, if you never know real pain, you'll never experience true laughter,
-so get yourself together, soldier, and take it like a chapter.
*so here I stand . . . wondering which world is bigger,
-and the only thing between god and I is this trigger.
*with so much pain in life, It seems impossible to forgive,
-But anyone can shoot themself. It take
