Alone in the dark
Alone in this world
I’ve never seen the light
Black is all I know

When all your heroes
Fold-up and die
Will you be able
To face the facts
Or will you crumble, too?

Don’t believe it isn’t true
Don’t worry whether there was reason
There isn’t purpose
There just is...

Life’s a ride I’m not willing to take
Don’t give death a fighting chance
By ever beginning to live
The best way to stop
Is to never begin
The world is different to me
Than it is to you
I see nothing
But I know everything
You see everything
And know nothing
I’ve died already
But ask yourself who is really blind?

Does anyone know why I’m
Sad tonight?
Crying like a little girl
Holding myself close
Feeling my own breath
Against my skin

I have no heat
My air is cold
My sky is dark
This land was swept
Of its life long before me
Don’t try to make me
Feel better with gifts
Flowers are nice
But I wouldn’t even
Be able to see them

This is a despicable
Disposition I’m in
People tell me how
Great it is on the outside
I ask: Is there anything more?
Is black it?
They try to explain color to me
But they don’t know
Where to start
I ask: Is color important?
Does it make a difference?
But they don’t know
Because they’ve never known
Just black

Why should you care about my worries?
No one else has
Modern study has no cure
There is no cure
I’m black to love
I’m black to life
And You’re black to me

I should be blue
But black is all I know
