Lyrics In the Black - Lenny Kravitz

In the Black

When you finally become a mute
While a sad song plays
You lie helpless and lost
Infected by the truth
That was fabricated by you
Your image shattered
In the eye of the storm
We would never reach out to you
How could you?
Your desperation
To look like a victim
Is such a cop out
You’re fooling yourself
Your inspiration
Is your contradictions
You’re lost the concept
Of what’s the real truth
That it’s you who is the thief
Who should be humbled
By the sheer size of your crimes
We befriended you, it was abuse
There’s no better time
Then the present time
To finally forget you
How could you?
Your desperation
To look like a victim
Is such a cop out
You’re fooling yourself
Your inspiration
Is your contradictions
You’re lost the concept
Of what’s the real truth
Close your eyes and pretend
That it’s still alight
Do you feel it tonight?
Can you feel it tonight?
It’s all crashing down
Lately you know you’ve seen it
The face in the mirror never lies
You’re fading, fading
