Black and Blue

Tiptoe across the world Driven by my inner fire Thorns reach for my feet Hold me in place as I lay crying Love is only useful to the living And only honest with the dead My last breath is yours to keep So put it in a locket Pretend I might come back again Cramped halls Mattress springs squeak What memories might've been here with you I lost my dreams Sometime ago Now I only sleep in black and blue I am darker Than the rest Reeking of hunger for another time Scratch my name into your bedpost Then maybe you'll remember That it used to be mine Used to be mine This old room has the stink of dust I still see you in the panes of glass Cobwebs cling to your endless lies I couldn't escape your brutal grasp Cramped halls Mattress springs squeak What memories might've been here with you I lost my dreams Sometime ago Now I only sleep in black and blue I am darker Than the rest Reeking of hunger for another time Scratch my name into your bedpost Then maybe you'll remember That it used to be mine Oh Cramped halls Mattress springs squeak What memories might've been here with you I lost my dreams Sometime ago Now I only sleep in black and blue I am darker Than the rest Reeking of hunger for another time Scratch my name into your bedpost Then maybe you'll remember That it used to be mine Used to be mine Oh that it used to be mine
