Black Lyrics

Shallow footsteps
echo across the floor.
All that once was,
I can see no more.
With the eyes of a child,
you offer us the world.
With the wounds of the overlooked,
I trust in you no more.
Shallow footsteps
echo across the floor.
All that once was,
I can see no more.
With the eyes of a child,
you offer us the world.
With the wounds of the overlooked,
I trust in you no more.

In the eyes of the impressionable,
your silhouette shines
gold...

but in my eyes the truth be known...
all is... black.

Bitter(sweet), now I've realized.
Drain from me, bleed me with a smile.
Bitter(sweet), now I've realized.
Drain from me, bleed me with a smile.

Bleed me
and you will find deep inside...
all the pain
you've glamorized inside
Bleed me
and you will find deep inside all...

Shallow footsteps
echo across the floor.
All that once was,
I can see no more.
With the eyes of a child,
you offer us the world.
With the wounds of the overlooked,
I trust in you no more.
Bitter(sweet), now I've realized.
Drain from me, bleed me with a smile.

Bitter(sweet), now I've realized.
Drain from me, bleed me with a smile.

They say reflections never lie...
at times I find that hard to believe.
That which you project and that which you reflect
I now truly perceive.

The filth you excrete,
sickens me like nothing else.
As you walk away,
and the distance between
what we once knew increases,
I find solace in the simple fact
that I know...I feel...truth.
You're walking a suicide mile
with destiny.
And me..., and me
I'm five steps away from forever.
