Black Night
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.
Black night, blackness
When I wanted you, how I haunted you
All to myself
One gift, one slip
Where you hiding at, who your aiming at
Won't kiss and tell
Control yourself
I don't want it to, I don't need it to
Can someone else
Counting until
When you're heading to, 'cause your attitude
Turn on itself
Kind heart, kindness
Where you going to, are you going through
Heaven or hell
Won't slip, won't miss
When I'm on to you, send it over to
Your faith in hell
Control yourself
I don't want it to, I don't need it to
Contain itself
Counting until
It was never that, I was aiming at
It means someone else
Ha! (x8)
You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk.
Crack through it
You had it all. You had it all. You had it all
You threw it
You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk.
Crack through it.
You had it all. You had it all. You had it all
You threw it
Black night, blackness
When I wanted you, how I haunted you
All to myself
One kiss, one slip
Where you going to, are you going through
Heaven or hell
Control yourself
I don't want it to, I don't need it to
Can someone else
Counting Until
When you need it to, 'cause your attitude
Turn on itself
You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk
Crack through it
You had it all, you had it all, you had it all
You threw it
You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk
Crack through it
You had it all, you had it all, you had it all
You threw it
