Sheets of empty canvas untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the Earth to the Sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh and all I taught her was everything

Mmm-hmm I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds

Of what was everything

All the pictures had all been washed in black

Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play

I can feel their laughter so why do I sear?

Mmm-hmm and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head

I'm spinnin' oh-oh I'm spinnin'

How quick the Sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

Of what was everything

All the pictures have all been washed in black

Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see, all that I am

All I'll be, yeah-yeah

Oh-oh oh-oh ooh

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star

In somebody else's sky but why why

Why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?

Ooh, ah, yeah

Ah, ooh-ooh

Doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo
