Lyrics

Hey, hey, yeah, uh
 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
 Yeah, now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn, ooh
 And all I taught her was everything
 Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
 And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
 Of what was everything
 Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black
 Tattooed everything
 I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
 Oh, I can feel their laughter, oh so why do I sear?
 Oh and twisted thoughts that spin around 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 that I'll be, yeah
 Oh, oh, ooh
 I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
 I hope you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
 Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?
 Ooh
