Aaron Lewis Of Staind - Black (Pearl Jam Cover) lyrics

rate me

Hey, ooh<br />

<br />

Shades of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay<br />

Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did<br />

All five horizons revolved around her soul<br />

As the earth to the sun<br />

<br />

Now the air I tasted and breathed<br />

Has taken a turn<br />

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything<br />

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore<br />

<br />

And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds<br />

Of what was everything?<br />

Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black<br />

Tattooed everything<br />

<br />

I take a walk outside<br />

I'm surrounded by some kids at play<br />

I can feel their laughter<br />

So why do I swear?<br />

<br />

Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head<br />

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning<br />

How quick the sun can drop away?<br />

<br />

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass<br />

Of what was everything?<br />

All the pictures have all been washed in black<br />

Tattooed everything<br />

<br />

All the love gone bad<br />

Turned my world to black<br />

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be, yeah<br />

<br />

Uh huh, uh huh, ooh<br />

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life<br />

I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky<br />

But why, why, why can't it be, oh can't it be mine?
