Silence

Intro

Hey, oh

Verse

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

Chorus

Has taken a turn
Oh and all I taught her was everything
Oh I know she gave me all that she wore

Verse

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
I can feel their laughter

Chorus

So why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I'm spinning

Bridge

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

Verse

All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All that I'll be, yeah

Chorus

Uh huh, uh huh, oh
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
