Tally of Naught

Intro

Oh

No

Nothing left

Verse 1

Pale fingers picking at the threads

The bargain was rigged from the start

Every gain is just a hollow shell

Slipping through your ribs

Pre-Chorus

Counting what you keep

Stashing all the pride

Rotting underneath

Trying to hide

Chorus

Loss is the law

Loss is the only law

Building sand castles against the tide

Everything gone as if it never was

It never was

Everything gone as if it never was

Verse 2

Stare into the freezing dark

Seconds are just thieves in the night

You scramble for the scraps

Dread fills the lungs

Pre-Chorus

Counting what you keep

Stashing all the pride

Rotting underneath

Trying to hide

Chorus

Loss is the law

Loss is the only law

Building sand castles against the tide

Everything gone as if it never was

It never was

Everything gone as if it never was

Bridge

He comes knocking

He comes taking

He comes crushing

The tally resets to zero

The blood turns to salt

Empty hands at the gate

Chorus

Loss is the law

Loss is the only law

Building sand castles against the tide

Everything gone as if it never was

It never was

Everything gone as if it never was
