See myself in black and white

It isn't done, it isn't right

See it there before my eyes

It's a sorry song, a sorry sight

You sunk your teeth, you're in me deep

I couldn't sing, I couldn't sleep

Beat your chest with both your hands

For all I was, for all I am, all I am

Then all my thoughts solidify

To sudden diamonds in my mind

I lit the fuse so run and hide

So honey sweet and (?)

Black and white, it isn't right

To hold me down and bleed me dry

Cut the ties that keep me up at night

Or make me see myself in black and white

Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair

But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared

Like an empty chair I was always there

Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair

But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared

Like an empty chair I was always there

Black and white, it isn't right

To hold me down and bleed me dry

Cut the ties that keep me up at night

Or make me see myself in black and white

See yourself in black and white

It isn't done, it isn't right
