Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Her legs spread out before me, as her body holds still
All five horizons, revolve around her soul - like the Earth to the Sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed, has taken a turn

Pre-Chorus

And all I taught her, was everything
I know she gave me all that she wore

Chorus

And now my bitter hands, shake beneath the clouds, of what was everything
All the pictures, have been washed in black, tattooed everything

Verse

I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, what can I say?

Pre-Chorus

And twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head - I'm spinning, I'm spinning
How quick the Sun it can, drop away

Chorus

And now my bitter hands, cradle broken glass, of what was everything
All the pictures have been washed in black, tattooed everything
All my love gone bad, turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll ever be

I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the Sun
In somebody else's skies, but why, why, can't it be mine?
