Cover art for Zero lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

it sounds like he's talking to a christian to me. allow me to explain! "save your prayers for where you're really gunna need 'em" and "you blame yourself for what you can't ignore, you blame yourself for wanting more". the 2nd quote could well be about the christian wanting sex and a relationship and the christian thinks it's wrong to think this so he blames himself!

there's obviously something more to this song too...
