Out of the Black

How did it feel when it came alive and took you
Out of the black?
It broke your skin and shook through
Every part of me, every part of you

You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don’t breathe when I talk
Cos you haven’t been spoken to
I’ve got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart beating blood from an empty pocket

I never knew why
And you didn’t care when

It closed every door
And washed away no sin

And I promised you
Like you promised me
But those vows we made
Fucked it up for free

You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don’t breathe when I talk
Cos you haven’t been spoken to
I’ve got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart beating blood from an empty pocket
(x2)

And it tortures slow
Never let’s you go
Deals a crooked hand
