Black Mood

I'm in a black mood I've got rusted gears inside Live-wire sparks strike like snakes But I don't show it What good would it do for you To see a man trapped in his mistakes? He's just a child with a face that's melted down Goin' gray and faded out Between the cracks of his smile, there's a death Between every breath I'm in a hallway Of twisted dreams and hollow time So numb to everythin' that comes through I'm on a bender The great pretender With his bullshit up so loud, you can't hear truth He's all alone now with nothing in his hеad And a bottle there instеad So blind to beauty when she comes to him at night But he's lost his own fight Save me from me Angel of mercy, oh-oh-oh-oh I'm diggin' holes up to Heaven, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh I drink the venom To slow my rhythm 'Til my heart crawls to a stop and I don't care I couldn't beat him So I made my demon my best friend 'Cause he won't abandon me here He's dressed in coattails and he's callin' me by name He's pointin' with his cane To some darkened door where I'll wind up on the floor Again and again Save me from me Angel of mercy, oh-oh-oh-oh I'm diggin' holes up to Heaven, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh Up to Heaven, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh Up to Heaven, baby
