Lyrics Black

yeah...oh yeah
sheets of empty canvas...untouched sheets of clay, yeah
laid spread out before me as her body once did...yeah
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...that's all
ooh, i know she gave me all that she wore, yeah
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 feel their laughter...oh, so why do i swear?
ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head, yeah
i'm spinning...oh, i'm spinning
how quick the sun can drop away
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 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
in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?
