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
oh and all i taught her was everything
oh 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 have 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
oh and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
i'm spinning oh i'm spinning 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
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
