Black

                                  As the walls are closing in 

And the colors fade to black 

And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me 

And I follow the tracks that lead me down 

And I never follow what's right 

And they wonder sometimes when they see all the 

Sadness and pain the truth brings to light 



[Chorus]

'Cause I can't see no reason 

What is blind cannot see 

'Cause I want what is pleasin' 

All I take should be free 

What I rob from the innocent ones 

What I'd steal from the womb 



If I cried me a river of all my confessions 

Would I drown in my shallow regret 

As the walls are closing in 

And the colors fade to black 

And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea 

And in darkness all that I can see 

The frightened and the weak 

Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of 

At mercy are the meek 



[Chorus]
