Black

[Intro]

Hey, hey, yeah

[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 soul as the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

[Chorus]

And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds of what was everything

All the pictures have all been washed in black

Tattooed every day

[Verse 2]

I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play

Oh, I can feel their laughter

Oh, so why do I sear?

Ooh, 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

[Post-Chorus]

All the love gone bad turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see

All that I am, all I'll be yeah

Uh huh... Uh huh... Ooh

[Bridge]

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?

Oh... Ohh yeah oh

[Outro]

Do do do do do do do (x20 total) Yeah... Yeah...

Hi. (x6)

Yeah. (x3)
