Pearl Jam - Black

She tore empty canvas under sheets of clay Her lay spread out before me, as her body

once did Oh, all five horizons revolved around her

Ruined the soul, as he looked to the sun

Now, the air I tasted and breathed

Has taken a turn

Oh, and all I taught her was everything

Oh, I know she gave me all that she would

And now my bitter hands

Shade beneath the flowers

Of what was everything

All the pictures sent

All been washed in black

I'm surrounded by some kids that play and I can't feel their laughter, so why do I sing?

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

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning half way 'cause sun can't drive away

Lay down my bitter hands

Cradle, broken glass of what was everything

All the pictures set, 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, all I'll be, yeah.

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life.

I know you'll be a star, then somebody else's guy, but why, why, why can't it be, can't it be me?
