Ground Zero

[Verse 1]
Down to ground zero
With a rust-colored rose
Tryin' hard to close
That door
What have I opened?
What have I done
That I'm not the one
It's for?

[Verse 2]
Down to ground zero
Reduced to a number
That is not a number
Any more
All talk of heroes
Palls in the rubble
Falls into trouble
At the core

[Chorus]
Some choose death
And some choose life
And some have no choice at all
For some the indifference
Of a conscious decision
Is simply too close to call

[Verse 3]
Simple mathematics
How many floors
How much time
Flies
Some people count
Some count too much
Uncounted as such
A lie

[Chorus]
Some choose death
And some choose life
And some have no choice at all
For some the indifference
Of a conscious decision
Is simply too close to call

[Outro]
Down at ground zero
A simple blade lies
With a color that dries
A rust-colored rose
