Intro
Verse 1
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Lay 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
Pre-chorus
Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything
Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that she wore
Chorus
And now my bitter hands,
Shake beneath clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures
Have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
Verse 2
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
Oh, I can feel their laughter
So, why do I sear
Pre-chorus
Hmmmm, and twised thoughts that spin 'round my head, I'm spinning, oh
I'm spinning, How quick the sun can drop away
Chorus
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
And tattooed all I see,
All that I am,
All I'll be
Break
Yeah Uh huh Uh huh
Outro
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star in somebody elses sky
But why, why, why can't it be,
Why can't it be mine
