"All On Black" lyrics
"All On Black"
I put it all on black, no color you're all dressed in
And a stab in the back left you bleeding on the floor
And I'm mourning the death, the recent passing of your insides
I smile in regret every time I think of how I spoke to you
I put it all in back of my mind where I hold you
I'm just trying to keep track how far back it really goes
And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from the heavens
I'm just trying to relax as a killer's waiting right outside my door
What's black and white? (What's black and white?) What's red all over?
This tired book (This tired book), this organ donor
Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree, it hasn't rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me, I'll remain free from all the comforts of home
And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say I'll never really know
I put 'em all in black, the four walls of my bedroom
And I trimmed them in red, peeled your picture off the wall
And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from your heartbeat
That arrived in your neck every time I salivated over you
What's upside down? (What's upside down?) What's coated in silver?
This crucifix (This crucifix) is my four-leaf clover
Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree, it hasn't rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me, I'll remain free from all the comforts of home
And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say I'll never really know
One of these days (One of these days) it's gonna catch up to you
Throwing looks like those around
And one of these nights (One of these nights), I promise to you
I'll soon be sleeping sound, as soon as I leave town
Thanks to kscrappy for adding these lyrics.

AFI - "Wester" I can feel you waiting for me
When the sun retreats to the hills and I
Below the blanket of a burning sky
Wrap myself within
Embraced by dead leaves
As the rain leaves trails of black down my face...
The Lawrence Arms - "Seventeener (17th And 37th)" I never wanted to die old
But it's too late now, my heart has grown so cold
And the corpse I leave behind ain't gonna be
No pretty boy. It's a sick sack of disease
We thought about ways we'd love to...
Banner Pilot - "Greenwood" The boards
They bounce up and down in an abandoned house
Amps exploding
And our ears bleed red - but we yell out every note
In the kitchen you tell me 'bout the evils of the world
Swallow hard on...
Box Car Racer - "Elevator" The building turned it's back ignored my call,
The concrete looks too thin to break my fall,
The sunset stretched across this nighttime scene,
I counted people as I neared the street below,...
Red City Radio - "Dead Friends Don't Pay Debts" We're going nowhere with our backs against the wall
We'll take it all we'll watch them fall for one and all
We're going nowhere we're not giving up this ground
We claim it all the lost the found
And...
