THEPRODUCT19 This is simply one of the hardest/heaviest songs I've heard in a LONG time. It's too good to turn down. Favorite track: Something Wrong.

Daniel Tase Hayden Cell Zero is back with some of the highest quality production in independent industrial. Sounding like NIN when Trent was still angry, Cell Zero has the perfect mix of angst, guitars, and synths Favorite track: How Long Can This Go On.

qa1wsx Great record, heavy and bleak, just as it should be. Plus, and this is meant as a compliment, not derisively, if you like 16 Volt, in some ways this could be a 16v record. Favorite track: Something Wrong.

Already Dead 05:20
lyrics
No chance, no hope, you know nothing Got it all wrong Not me, my name, not my life They took it all Cut out, die out, start over Yeah, you think you fucking can? The game's done. They've won. It's over It was over before it began Feels like I'm already dead Here after the end Just being replaced by this nothing within Oh god it doesn't make sense Run the numbers again Regrets and remains all I have, all I am Inside, infecting everything That's all you get Withdrawn, still gone, I'm not me I'm just what's left Chasing the only thing that breaks me and I still want more Like a dream, like it's always been for me Take me back to where I was before Feels like I'm already dead Here after the end Just being replaced by this nothing within Oh god it doesn't make sense Run the numbers again Regrets and remains all I have, all I am You're my weakness Call it sickness I don't care Just give it back to me I know this Doesn't make sense What's the difference Never, never enough Wasted all this All that's happened since I need to feel this Never, never enough Now that everything has changed The only thing that remains Feels like I'm already dead Here after the end Just being replaced by this nothing within Oh god it doesn't make sense Run the numbers again Regrets and remains all I have, all I am

We Never Should Have Come Here 02:59
lyrics
First, state your name Next, what you do Doesn’t matter anyway, we know all about you The system doesn’t make mistakes This is failure by design Everybody wants the truth till they get it then they miss the lies We never should have come here Now it’s too late to leave There’s not much more they can take now Take these dreams from me Did she say she loved you? You think you were the first? Some will take it with a knife and some just use their words Promises until the end No one can hurt you like a friend Thought you finally found something, but now it’s gone, yeah gone again We never should have come here Now it’s too late to leave There’s not much more they can take now Take these dreams from me Don’t look back Say nothing Never look back Say nothing

Blood Money 04:01
lyrics
We worship death We’ve lost our way We waste our time We hope and pray We feed our dead into the big machine Each new tragedy a revenue stream It’s all the same as long as someone dies Watch as the profits and the body counts rise Hey yeah Earn that blood money Amen Your thoughts do nothing We pull the trigger And just ask why Deny the answer And hide our eyes And it doesn’t matter who gets hurt. We cradle metal, put our children in the dirt A gun in one hand and a bible in the other Shut up and pass the ammunition mother fucker Hey yeah Earn that blood money Amen Your thoughts do nothing And there’s no limit No cost too high We’re spilling more before the last one’s dry Just hopes and prayers and nothing else But nothing changes you’re just talking to yourself Hey yeah Earn that blood money Amen Your thoughts do nothing Hey yeah Earn that blood money Amen Your prayers do nothing

How Long Can This Go On 05:28
lyrics
I don’t know how I let things get this bad again Thought it was under control, the walls are wearing thin I used to know who I was and who I could have been It's not the same anymore, I need that pain again and again and again and a… All that's gone Still follows me Fucked up and wrong And incomplete I know I cannot fix myself with half the pieces missing How long can this go on? How long can I hold on? So many years have gone with nothing real to show But now I’m more afraid of how much is left to go Ever deeper the cut and the blade moves so slow If this is all that there is I… I don’t know… I don’t know… All that's gone Still follows me Fucked up and wrong And incomplete I know I cannot fix myself with half the pieces missing How long can this go on? How long can I hold on? Is that all there is? It's all coming down now

The Lie I Still Believe 06:41
lyrics
I pray for the things I don’t deserve Escape from the lessons I can’t learn The fire fades, the shadows take its place A reminder that mistakes can be erased (Almost more than I can take) Sometimes I think There’s nothing left for me But I will my way The lie I still believe Everything Has slipped away from me But I will find my way The lie I still The lie I still believe Always there, inside, in everything Keeps taking more until there’s less of me I thought I found a place to hide with you But now you're gone, I've done all I can do (Almost broke myself in two) (It's time to wake up) Sometimes I think There’s nothing left for me But I will my way The lie I still believe Everything Has slipped away from me But I will find my way The lie I still The lie I still believe I lost myself Where were you when everything went wrong This can’t be real I woke up and everything was gone Sometimes I think There’s nothing left for me But I will my way The lie I still believe Everything Has slipped away from me But I will find my way The lie I still The lie I still believe I'm ready

Constant Echo 04:05
lyrics
I can’t sleep ‘cause your voice won’t leave me More and more questions and they’re not stopping Sick sick sick delusions Born from butterfly actions Waiting for something to happen Lost in the past and all that I had back then All that I have tried Still there inside Never lets go Haunted by your constant echo All that I have tried Sing it to me I never wanted to do this It’s too much. Too honest. Too useless. But now so much has changed And I never found my way Laid bare, my scars on display Lost you. Lost me. Lost everything. All that I have tried Still there inside Never lets go Haunted by your constant echo All that I have tried Sing it to me I have so much I need to say But every word just slips away Just like this time and a hundred times before I hope you know right now like I told you then Back from the start until the end Before I knew you Until I’m in the ground This never stops Sing it to me Get away

Take This All Away 04:44
lyrics
You, you think you understand me now? But I, I promise that you’re wrong somehow 'Cause I don’t even understand myself most days And the one that you knew has already gone away There’s more Than you know There’s a tempest underneath and it grows It’s such a fight, for just “ok” I could breathe, I could try, just take this all away (I know that the walls are shifting Never find a way to make it to the end Only make a sound when you’re empty Waiting for my chance to fuck it up again) Just take it all away Take this all away Please This wall, just another way to hide But is there anything left inside? 'Cause I can see it changing all around me now And it feels safe in here just watching the time burn out There’s more Than you know There’s a tempest underneath and it grows I know you’re right despite what I say I could be better please, just take this all away (I know that the walls are shifting Never find a way to make it to the end Only make a sound when you’re empty Waiting for my chance to fuck it up again) Just take it all away Take this all away Please Did you fail? Did you try? Did it all come crashing down inside? Dim the lights On the scene And find your way crawling back, back, back to me

The Path 06:49
lyrics
I’ll never hurt you again Left in these woods alone A light's still shining out there But all has changed and it no longer leads home I know I don’t belong here I don’t know anything There was a path but it’s gone now Alive, but this is not living I only stole the world, 'cause it was mine to take Held on to it too tight and watched it break There is so much left to say But all my words are gone Trying to find my way out But the night goes on and on I only stole the world, 'cause it was mine to take Held on to it too tight and watched it break In the end it all comes back around Build it up to fall back to the ground

Something Wrong 04:26
lyrics
Here I decay like a rotten thing Forgotten cloth for the moths to eat I don’t remember. I don’t seem to care Can’t see myself through this skin I wear Another wave I’m drowning And as soon as I get up again another’s on top of me Stuck in my head Back to the start You know it feels much better to blame myself when I watch it fall apart Who I am is not who I want to be Had a taste, now it’s gone Nothing inside of this me that’s not me All that’s left is just something, something wrong Put on the mask and I wear this shell If I don’t breathe then nobody can tell But what’s the point? Who’s left to care? The one that matters is no longer there And it takes Everything And each day it feels like more is gone but this feeling never leaves And it’s all a game I know my part I’m gonna dig my nails into this world and leave my fucking mark Who I am is not who I want to be Had a taste, now it’s gone Nothing inside of this me that’s not me All that’s left is just-

The Color Drains Out 04:42
lyrics
Silence Returns no matter how hard I scream Let down None of this has meant anything What is left to give? I gave up so much Count on me to let you down I’m not enough It's no surprise to me Always been this way Last one left alone at the end At the end of everything Sinking in deeper now Everything goes away, the color drains out And the noise gets so loud Everything goes away, the color drains out Slipping Everything keeps slipping away Dragged down By things that I don’t know how to change What am I doing here? Thought that I’d be gone All of those plans I had have gone wrong Outside of it all I can’t start again Is that really all there was? Is that all that could have been? Sinking in deeper now Everything goes away, the color drains out And the noise gets so loud Everything goes away, the color drains out Have no choice Can’t let go Never was in my control Quiet now What’s done is done But I am not who I’ve become All those things I should have done Or should have said I was too afraid to try I’m not here I can’t stay I just came to say goodbye

Still Falling 08:19
lyrics
This world will only give you something So it can take it away And all that’s good will always leave you It’s only there to define the pain Still I fooled myself into hoping Somehow, it was different this time Those dreams burn holes into my hands As they slip away. They were never mine Never mine I can’t keep holding on Too long, too dead and gone Falling forever Do you remember? This faded paper heart Turned grey and fell apart Falling forever Do you remember? Still falling down There’s just so much I want to remember And too much that I can’t forget Walking along the minefield of your memory and of my regrets I know it’s too late I was there, I watched him break This wasn’t the plan, no This isn’t me. I’m not who I am Put it together I don’t think I can Keep holding on Too long, too dead and gone Falling forever Do you remember? This faded paper heart Turned grey and fell apart Falling forever Do you remember? Still falling down Did you think somehow Things could’ve been different If I never let go...

about

The Color Drains Out is Cell Zero's second full-length album and the result of six years of writing, recording, iterating, experimenting, and trial and error. What emerged on the other side is an album about losing hope, losing another, and losing one's self.

Cell Zero is a completely independent one-man project, so whether you are just now hearing me for the first time or if you've been with me from the beginning, thank you for listening and thank you for your support, especially here on Bandcamp. I rely on your word of mouth to let more people know about this, so please spread the word.

Thanks for being here.
