Black Earth

[Verse 1]

The needles that pierce my veins are drowning my world in flames

I pray for this to stop but they burn, they burn

No holy book, no plea's to the sky

Will subside the fiending inside my mind

I don't think that I'm ready to die yet

But I'm so close I can barely stand

My reflection shows a demon in me

But I just want this to stop now

[Breakdown]

Can you hear me?

I just want this to stop now

[Chorus]

I'm helpless when my heart is heavy

When there is nothing else

To tell me I am worth the effort to save myself

Amidst the chaos in this sea of flames

My eyes turn from this black earth

[Verse 2]

Everyone I know is looking down

Their eyes filled with shame

And everything I need is right in front of me

But I just need to see

The water that I sink in could be the same I walk on

The water that I sink in could be the same I walk on

[Bridge]

The truth is I'm still learning wrong from right

[Chorus]

I'm helpless when my heart is heavy

When there is nothing else

To tell me I am worth the effort to save myself

Amidst the chaos in this sea of flames

My eyes turn from this black earth

[Verse 3]

The needles that pierce my veins are drowning my world in flames

I pray for this to stop but they burn, they burn

But they burn, they burn

But they burn, they burn, they burn

They burn, they burn my world, I can taste defeat

But I will make sure the earth sees one day that I'll be free from this sea of flames

Black earth, I turn my eyes to see a new world where I can find

Black earth, I turn my eyes to see a new world where I can find peace
