Jet Black

[Intro]

I tell you this because

As an artist, I think you'll understand

[Verse 1]

I'll be quiet to keep you quiet

Don't concern yourself with my slow dying

Through the vents I hear you sigh

I don't get too high these days

Your floor is my ceiling

Lights out, you can't come in

[Pre-Chorus]

If you don't remind me, I won't forget you

If you don't ask, I won't upset you

[Chorus]

I am jet black

I am stone cold

Jet black to the center

Funny like a funeral

I need you to bury me

[Verse 2]

White noise in black room dust

These hands long for one last touch

Hourglass all out of trust

I don't scratch so I won't itch

I don't reach so I won't miss

I taste our last kiss

[Pre-Chorus]

If you don't remind me, I won't forget you

If you don't ask, I won't upset you

[Chorus]

I am jet black

I am stone cold

Jet black to the center

Funny like a funeral

I need you to bury me

[Bridge]

This is the cure, the same as the symptom

Simple and pure, break to keep fixing

Patiently nurse, patient and nurse

This is the part I wouldn't show you

The part where you say, "I don't even know you"

This is your cue, be glad that it's through

[Chorus]

I am jet black

I am stone cold

Jet black to the center

Funny like a funeral

I need you to bury me

[Outro]

Sometimes, when I'm driving on the road at night

I see two headlights coming toward me, fast

I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly

Head-on into the oncoming car

I can anticipate the explosion

The sound of shattering glass

The flames rising out of the flowing gasoline
