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
