Hey
Hey
Sheets of empty canvas
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
Were ugly spread out before me
As her body once did
As her body once did
All five horizons
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Has taken a turn
and all I taught her was everything
and all I taught her was everything
I know she gave me all that she wore
I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Of what was everything
the pictures have
the pictures have
All been washed in black
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by
I'm surrounded by
Some kids at play
Some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
So why do I sear
and twisted thoughts that spin
and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
Round my head
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
How quickly the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All that I am
All that I'll be, yeah
All that I'll be, yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
In somebody else's sky
But why
But why
Why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be
can't it be mine
can't it be mine
