Black (Acoustic MTv)

Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey

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

Oh, and all I taught her was everything

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands

Shave beneath the clouds

Of what was everything

All the pictures had

All been washed in black

Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by

Some kids are playin'

I can feel their laughter

So why do I see it?

Mm, oh, twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head

Thoughts that spin 'round my head

Oh, I'm spinning, oh

How quick the sun can drop

Drop away

Now my bitter hands

Cradle broken glass

Of what was everything

All the pictures have

Have all been washed in black

Tattooed everything

All of gone bad

Turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see

All that I am

All that I'll be

Yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Someday you'll have a beautiful life

Oh, I know you'll be a star

In somebody else's sky

Why, why, why

Can it be, why can it be

Can it be

Mine

Mine

Why can't it be mine?

Da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da

Oh

I

Why can't it be

Why can't it be mine?
