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 |
