Black Clouds
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Good morning Hello
The ones you love are using you
They only taught you to steal the crumbs to keep you hanging on
To keep you hanging on
It's nearly over it won't be long
And all the people you're supposed to believe are lying to you
They're gonna tell you that you're naive
To keep you hanging on
They keep you hanging on
It's nearly over it won't be long
It's always raining on the ones I love
Black Clouds in the sun
It's nearly over it won't be long
Black Clouds in the sun
But they keep you hanging on
Feel I'm grasping at straws
The things I need are useless
It only works for so long
It's nearly over it won't be long
And it's over and everything's cold
And all the people you're taught to obey
Are pawns in a game
You're taking bullets for somebody's teeth
While they stand there holding the gun
And they keep you hanging on
They keep you hanging on
It's always raining on the ones I love
Black Clouds in the sun
It's nearly over it won't be long
Black Clouds in the sun
But they keep you hanging on
Good morning
Good morning
Good morning
Good morning
