Hey, ohSheets of empty canvasUntouched sheets of clayWere laid spread out before meAs her body once didAll five horizonsRevolved around her soulAs the earth to the sunNow the air I tasted and breathedHas taken a turn
Oh and all I taught her was everythingOh I know she gave me all that she woreAnd now my bitter handsChafe beneath the cloudsOf what was everythingOh the pictures haveAll been washed in blackTattooed everything
I take a walk outsideI’m surrounded bySome kids at playI can feel their laughterSo why do I searOh, and twisted thoughts that spinRound my headI’m spinningOh, I’m spinningHow quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter handsCradle broken glassOf what was everythingAll the pictures haveAll been washed in blackTattooed everythingAll the love gone badTurned my world to blackTattooed all I seeAll that I amAll that I’ll be, yeahUh huh, uh huh, oh
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful lifeI know you’ll be a starIn somebody else’s skyBut whyWhyWhy can’t it beOh can’t it be mine
