The Other Side of Zero

I used to look to the yes-man

To justify my plans

I thanked him when he lied to me

I gladly shook his hand

Now it's plain to see

Such empty reverie

Is about as sweet as a nectar gone bad

I used to look to my idol

To lead my ship ashore

I was determined to believe

Every prayer's accounted for

Now it's plain to see

Only the wind was listening

And I gotta ride this tide once more

Back to the other side of zero

Which card shall it be?

A compliment or an insult

It's all just the same to me, to me

Whatever shall be, shall be

I used to hide from the future

Like a child running from the tide

I could dream of nothing darker

Than to look fate in the eye

So scared of the worst

That the best just passed me by

And the grass ain't always greener

On the other end

First you gotta make it over

Just to see how sweet it's been

Just when you think you've hit

It's time to roll the dice again

And again, and again, and again

Back to the other side of zero

Which card shall it be?

A compliment or an insult

It's all just the same to me

Whatever shall be

Whatever shall be

Whatever shall be, shall be, shall be

Oh, whatever shall be

Whatever shall be

Whatever shall be, shall be, shall be

Oh, whatever shall be

Whatever shall be

Whatever shall be, shall be, shall be

Whatever shall be

Whatever shall be

Whatever shall be, shall be

Whatever shall be

Whatever shall be

Whatever shall be, shall be
