The Black Market |
A currency of heartache and sorrow |
The air we breathe is stale with mold |
To shadows we are slaves |
Digging deeper every day |
But emptiness is growing so old |
Headlamps light the tunnels we wander |
They shimmer and they dance on the walls |
We’re lost inside these caves |
As the chances of escape |
Grow slimmer til there’s no chance at all |
This ink it travels from the page |
Up my hand and to my veins |
Choking on those stories I’ve told |
If there are words here left to say |
I just wanna let you know |
I’m falling on my knees right now |
I’m covered in the mess I made |
These colors used to wash right out |
But now they are a part of me |
I’ve been searching for a remedy |
When all along it’s been in front of me |
I need you here |
I need you now |
Right now |
We traffic in the blackest of markets |
Trade misery like diamonds and gold |
The angst that we exchange |
For applause or petty praise |
Is finally now taking its toll |
But there’s a world above the ground |
A life that we can lead |
We’re washing off the dirt from our clothes |
I don’t want to live without |
I just wanna let you know |
I’m falling on my knees right now |
I’m covered in the mess I made |
These colors used to wash right out |
But now they are a part of me |
I’ve been searching for a remedy |
When all along it’s been in front of me |
I need you here |
I need you now |
Right now |
Black stains |
They mark me like a letter |
Don’t fade |
Cracking under the pressure |
Black stains |
Nothing stays gold |
There’s a world above the ground |
A life that we can lead |
But we’re lost deep down in these holes |
And I have seen the way out |
Now I just wanna let you know |
I’m falling on my knees right now |
I’m covered in the mess I made |
These colors used to wash right out |
But now they are a part of me |
I’ve been searching for a remedy |
When all along it’s been in front of me |
Your voice it washed the stains away |
