Why I Do It (Pop Version)

Welcome to the archives. Presenting track #05 from 2.5 - Lost Tapes. This compilation project serves as an unfiltered vault of unreleased material, rejected tracks, and experimental sessions captured during the eras of our first two albums. These are the fragments that didn't make the final cut, preserved in their rawest form and released without alteration. We are opening the vault. 🎧 Stream the full 2.5 - LOST TAPES compilation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYT5f4LCrlgZ9tIYMoBcvH3YmfsvM23tE 🔔 Subscribe to At Zero for official releases and archival drops: https://www.youtube.com/@AtZeroProject 📜 Lyrics: [Verse 1] I’m the halo and the bruise Saint in snakeskin shoes Smiling while I tighten all my screws You call it twisted I call it truth [Instrumental Snap] Light side’s got a dark side to it Daytime drips into the black Straight fluid The yin and the yang with a curved line through it And none of it’s explaining why I do it [Pre-Chorus] You keep holding up your mirror Think I’ll see what you all see But the closer that you get here The more it all looks like it’s me [Chorus] I’m the sun and the eclipse Yeah Both sides of it If I burn you in the process That’s just how I live You keep begging for a reason Like I owe you proof But I don’t need a why when I’ve got the room (oh) I’m the center of the story Every page Every twist If you get cut on my edges That’s the price you risk You can color me in shadows Paint me holy too Either way it all revolves around what I do [Verse 2] I’m the blessing and the bruise Golden cage and silver noose You swear you’re done Then you confuse Your exit sign with my excuse [Instrumental Reprise] Light side’s got a dark side to it Every virtue has a knife stuck through it You trace symbols Try to find some meaning to it Still none of it’s illuminating why I do it [Pre-Chorus] Was it ever really choices If all roads led back to me? You keep searching in the noises For a conscience I don’t need [Chorus] I’m the sun and the eclipse Yeah Both sides of it If I burn you in the process That’s just how I live You keep begging for a reason Like I owe you proof But I don’t need a why when I’ve got the room (hey) I’m the center of the story Every page Every twist If you get cut on my edges That’s the price you risk You can color me in shadows Paint me holy too Either way it all revolves around what I do [Bridge] Maybe there’s a cause Buried in the fuse But I like the sparks More than any truth [Instrumental Breakdown] You write your little theories About what I’ve been through But every explanation Still forgets I choose [Chorus] I’m the sun and the eclipse Yeah Both sides of it If I burn you in the process That’s just how I live You keep begging for a reason Like I owe you proof But I don’t need a why when I’ve got the room I’m the center of the story Every page Every twist If you get cut on my edges That’s the price you risk You can color me in shadows Paint me holy too But none of it’s illuminating why I do what I do 💿 Archive Details: ▪️ Artist: At Zero ▪️ Album: 2.5 - Lost Tapes ▪️ Track: 05 ▪️ Status: Archival Release / Experimental ▪️ Genre: Pop Rock / Alternative / Experimental #AtZero #WhyIDoIt #PopVersion #LostTapes #AlternativeRock #UnreleasedTracks #ExperimentalRock #ArchivalRelease #AtZeroVault
