Black (feat. Cortnie Frazier)
Sheets of empty canvas
Under sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
Her all five horizons
Revolved around the side
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 was
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
Oh, I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
Ooh, 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 that I'll be
All I'll be
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
Why? Why? Why can't it be?
Can't it be mine?
Mine
