ZERO
Billy Corgan

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

God
Billy Corgan

god knows i'm helpless to speak on my own behalf
god is as helpless as me caught in the negatives
we all just do as we please false transmissions
i hope god forgives me for my transgressions

it's what you want to know no consequences
it's what you need to fucking bleed
it's all too much
god knows i'm helpless

god knows i'm restless and weak full of piss and vinegar
god knows we sow what we reap in the dirt of grandeur
when the darkness comes to me and it fixes it's gaze on me
god knows i'm helpless

it's what you want to know no consequences
it's what you need to fucking bleed
it's all too much
god knows i'm helpless

you break you're back for what you can't have
you can't turn back god knows i'm helpless

Mouths Of Babes
Billy Corgan

so here we are
true superstars
we're so real from afar
and now now you're with us now

and the mouths of babes sing revolution
and the mouths of babes scream disillusion
you can't break what's already broken
cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing

the "dream" was a sham
for saving what you can't
and now they're me but i'm not them
i am you and you are me

it's in the ways i walk thru fire
it's in the ways of my desire
and when i said that you're no good
but what i meant was i wish you could be there forever
be young forever i wish you could be there

so now i bid farewell beyond the bounds of hell
and now you'll swear you knew us well
well you can never tell

and the mouths of babes sing revolution
and the mouths of babes scream disillusion
you can't break what's already broken
cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing

Marquis In Spades
Billy Corgan

and i'd love you to notice i'm devoted
to destroy for no one
now it's that time again to take revenge on all the debutantes and their friends the bitter charlamanges so self absorbed the bodily remains such a bore was i good enough to break you and all i see is empty cause now i'm one of them so adored the slink of impotence that money can afford we know who you are and where you live is your innocence all that you can give was i good enough to break you in the back of the car the angel dust was given back to the stars and in this fall from grace we'll meet again another time another place i've been down deep in you and me let's see where we can go angels, barbed wire fuck you, desire

Pennies
Billy Corgan
