Starting at Zero

[Intro] (Slow piano chords, building atmosphere) (Distant echo) Nothing left... Nothing at all. [Verse 1] The house is empty, the walls are bare The ghosts of "before" are no longer there I watched the fire, I felt the cold The end of the stories I’ve always told My pockets are light, my heavy heart too I’m stripped of the labels that weren't even true. [Chorus] ‘Cause when you’ve got nothing, you’ve got it all No more shadows, no place left to fall I’m standing at zero, the sky is wide open The chains of the past are finally broken Oh, what a feeling, to start again From the ashes of who I’ve been. [Verse 2] The map is a blank page, the compass is gone But I’ve never felt this close to the dawn I’m building a temple with different stones Breath in my lungs and fire in my bones No more pretending, no more "I must" Just a clean horizon rising from the dust. [Chorus] ‘Cause when you’ve got nothing, you’ve got it all No more shadows, no place left to fall I’m standing at zero, the sky is wide open The chains of the past are finally broken Oh, what a feeling, to start again From the ashes of who I’ve been. [Bridge] (Drum build-up, high energy) The weight is gone (Start again!) The fear is gone (Start again!) I’m the architect of my own soul Losing it all made me finally whole! [Guitar Solo - Powerful and soaring] [Final Chorus] Yeah, I’m standing at zero, the sky is wide open The chains of the past are finally broken Oh, what a feeling, to start again From the ashes of who I’ve been. [Outro] (Fade out) Starting from zero... Pure white... Finally free. (End)
