Lyrics

[00:12.50] Hey...oooh...
[00:24.50] Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
[00:36.50] Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
[00:49.50] All five horizons revolved around her soul
[00:59.50] As the earth to the sun
[01:02.50] Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
[01:13.50] Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
[01:25.50] Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
[01:38.50] And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
[01:44.50] Of what was everything?
[01:48.50] Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
[01:59.50] I take a walk outside
[02:04.50] I'm surrounded by some kids at play
[02:11.50] I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
[02:22.50] Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
[02:33.50] I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
[02:37.50] How quick the sun can, drop away
[02:47.50] And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
[02:53.50] Of what was everything?
[02:57.50] All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
[03:06.50] All the love gone bad turned my world to black
[03:12.50] Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be...yeah...
[03:29.50] Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
[03:38.50] I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
[03:44.50] In somebody else's sky, but why
[03:49.50] Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine
