Pearl Jam Twenty movie - Black lyrics

rate me

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did

All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds

Of what was everything

All the pictures had

All been washed in black, tattooed everything

I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play

I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?

And twisted thoughts that spin round my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning

How quick the sun can, drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

Of what was everything

All the pictures had

All been washed in black, tattooed everything

All the love gone bad, turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky

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