"Black & White" lyrics
"Black & White"
See myself in black and white
It isn't done, it isn't right
See it there before my eyes
It's a sorry song, a sorry sight
You sunk your teeth, you're in me deep
I couldn't sing, I couldn't sleep
Beat your chest with both your hands
For all I was, for all I am, all I am
Then all my thoughts solidified
To sudden diamonds in my mind
I lit the fuse, so run and hide
So honey sweet and sugar kind, sugar kind
Black and white, it isn't right
To hold me down and bleed me dry
Cut the ties that keep me up at night
Or make me see myself in black and white
Well, I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair
But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared
Like an empty chair, I was always there
I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair
But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared
Like an empty chair, I was always there
Black and white, it isn't right
To hold me down and bleed me dry
Cut the ties that keep me up at night
Or make me see myself in black and white
See yourself in black and white
It isn't done, it isn't right
Thanks to Castiel Gillespie for correcting these lyrics.
