Lyrics

Black

Please don't stop me

But go and leave me

You can't keep me inside

Please don't stop me

From being so strange

You can't help me

With your lies

Watch me self-destruct

Please don't stop me

Let me loose in the black

You can't touch me

Because I'm not coming back

Please don't watch me

Eyes burn inside

You can't help me

Or even try

Please go and smash me

Break my bones

You capture then leave me

Like a villain alone

Watch me self-destruct

See the light disappear now

Roll it over the black

I've got to disappear now

And I'm never coming back

Let it roll on over

Everything in sight

It's taken out my feelings

And it's fading out the light

Watch me self-destruct

Watch me self-destruct

Watch me self-destruct

Watch me self-destruct
