[00:04.23] A currency of heartache and sorrow
[00:08.83] The air we breathe is stale with mold
[00:15.07] To shadows we are slaves digging deeper every day
[00:19.47] But emptiness is growing so old
[00:36.79] (...)
[00:41.95] Headlamps light the tunnels we wander
[00:45.60] They shimmer and they dance on the walls
[00:51.01] We're lost inside these caves as the chances of escape
[00:54.18] Grow slimmer 'til there's no chance at all
[00:57.53] This ink, it travels from the page
[00:59.34] Up my hand and to my veins
[01:03.40] Choking on those stories I've told
[01:06.14] If there are words here left to say
[01:08.66] I just want to let you know
[01:12.20] I'm falling on my knees right now
[01:15.83] I'm covered in the mess I made
[01:20.16] These colors used to wash right out
[01:22.37] But now they are a part of me
[01:25.69] And I've been searching for a remedy
[01:29.17] When all along it's been in front of me
[01:34.19] I need you here, I need you now
[01:36.14]
[01:47.61] We traffic in the blackest of markets
[01:51.09] Trade misery like diamonds and gold
[01:56.50] The angst that we exchange for applause or petty praise
[02:00.18] Is finally now taking its toll
[02:03.00] But there's a world above the ground
[02:05.04] A life that we can lead
[02:08.90] We're washing off the dirt from our clothes
[02:11.64] I don't want to live without
[02:14.19] I just wanna let you know
[02:18.00] I'm falling on my knees right now
[02:21.50] I'm covered in the mess I made
[02:25.19] These colors used to wash right out
[02:28.37] But now they are a part of me
[02:31.08] And I've been searching for a remedy
[02:34.33] When all along it's been in front of me
[02:38.76] I need you here, I need you now
[02:41.43]
[02:51.14]
[02:58.01] (Black stains) they mark me like a letter(
[03:01.51] (Won't fade) cracking under the pressure(
[03:06.66] (Black stains) nothing stays gold(
[03:09.48] There's a world above the ground
[03:11.81] A life that we can lead
[03:16.44] But we're lost deep down in these holes
[03:19.49] And I've seen the way out
[03:22.57] Now I just want to let you know
[03:27.27] I'm falling on my knees right now (black stains)
[03:30.47] I'm covered in the mess I made (won’t fade)
[03:33.85] These colors used to wash right out (black stains)
[03:35.88] But now they are a part of me
[03:38.95] And I've been searching for a remedy
[03:42.45] When all along it's been in front of me
[03:46.63] Your voice it washes the stains away
[03:49.21] (Wash the stains away)(
[03:54.47] Woo oh oh oh
[03:54.85] (Wash the stains away)(
[04:05.29] ......
