Black

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

Lay spread out before me as her body once stood

Oh, five horizons revolved around a sun, like the earth to the sun, and 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

And now my bitter hands

Chafe beneath the clouds

Of what was everything

All the pictures have

All been washed in black

Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by

Some kids at play

Oh, I can hear their laughter Oh, so why do I see it?

Oh, I'm twisted Thoughts that spin 'round my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning how quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands create a 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 I see

All that I am, I'll ever be

Yeah

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 it be why can't it be
