Jet Black"I tell you this because as an artist I think you'll understand."I'll be quiet to keep you quiet Don't concern yourself with my slow dying Through the vents I hear you sigh I don't get too high these days Your floor is my ceiling Lights out, you can't come in If you don't remind me, I won't forget you If you don't ask, I won't upset you I am jet black I am stone cold Jet black to the center Funny like a funeral I need you to bury me White noise in black room dust These hands long for one last touch Hourglass all out of trust I don't scratch so I won't itch I don't reach so I won't miss I taste our last kiss If you don't remind me, I won't forget you If you don't ask, I won't upset you I am jet black I am stone cold Jet black to the center Funny like a funeral I need you to bury me This is the cure: the same as the symptom Simple and pure: break to keep fixing Patiently nurse, patient and nurse This is the part I wouldn't show you The part where you say, "I don't even know you." This is your cue Be glad that it's through I am jet black I am stone cold Jet black to the center Funny like a funeral I need you to bury me "Sometimes when I'm driving on the road at night, I see two headlights coming toward me, fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly head-on into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion: the sound of shattering glass, the flames rising out of the flowing gasoline." |
