Black
Pearl Jam

                  Sheets of empty canvas
                            untouched sheets of clay
                     
They 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    
                                       Oooh all I know I taught her was... everything
                                   Oooh all I know she gave all... that she wore
       And my bitter hands
        Shake beneath the clouds
                 Of what was everything
                             All the pictures have all been washed in black
             Tatooed everything.

                 I take a walk outside
                                I'm surrounded by some kids at play
                      
I can feel their laughter
         
So what can I say

                                             Ooh all my twisted thoughts they spin round my head (I'm spinnin')
                                      Oooh I'm spinning how quick the sun can drop awayayayayay
        
And my bitter hands
     on broken glass     
                 of what was everything
                            All my pictures have all been washed in black
Tatooed everything
        
All my love gone bad
          turned my world to black
            tatooed all I see
         All that I am
              All that I'll beeeeee    yeaahheah

                          
I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
  I know you'll be a sun, 
                                 In somebody elses sky, whyhy, whyhy   whyhy
                                            
can't it be, can't it be in mine.
