Black

[Verse 1]

Sheets of empty canvas

Untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me

As her body once did

All five horizons revolved around her, 'round her soul

As the Earth to the sun

And now the air I tasted and breathed

Has taken a turn

And all I taught her was everything

And I know she gave me all that she wore

[Chorus]

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

Of what was everything

All the pictures have all been washed in black

Tattooed everything

[Verse 2]

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

And ooh, I can feel their laughter

So why do I sear?

And twisted thoughts that spin around my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning

How quick the sun can drop away

[Chorus]

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

Of what was everything

All the pictures have all been washed in black

Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad turned my world to black

Tattooed all that I see

All that I am

All I'll ever be, yeah

[Outro]

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

I know you'll be a star in somebody else's skies, but why

Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine? Mine

We belong, we belong, we belong together, together, ooh

We, we belong, we belong together, yeah
