Intro: |
Hey... |
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 |
And now my bitter hands chafe |
beneath the clouds |
Of what was everything? |
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black |
tattooed everything... |
I take a walk outside |
I'm surrounded by some kids at play |
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear |
Oh, and 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 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 ever be... yeah... |
Bridge (repeating till the end): |
Bridge: |
x4 |
Uh huh... uh huh... ooh... |
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 |
why can't it be mine |
