Black |
| Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay |
| Were laid spread out before me as her body once did. |
| All five horizons revolved around her soul |
| As the earth to the sun |
| Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn |
| Ooh, and all I taught her was everything |
| Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore |
| And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds |
| Of what was everything. |
| Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black |
| Tattooed everything... |
| I take a walk outside |
| I'm surrounded by some kids at play |
| I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear? |
| Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head |
| I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning |
| How quick the sun can drop away |
| And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass |
| Of what was everything? |
| All the pictures have all been washed in black, |
| Tattooed everything... |
| All the love gone bad turned my world to black |
| Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah... |
| I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, |
| I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why |
| Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine? |
