Black - Pearl Jam

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did

All all five horizons, revolved around her soul...

As the Earth to the Sun

Now, the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was... everything

Ooh, I know she gave me all... that she wore

And now my bitter hands, chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything

All the pictures have all been washed in black

Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?

Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning

How quick the Sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass... of what was everything

All the pictures have, all been washed in black

Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad, turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be, yeah

I know that someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star

In somebody else's sky...

But why, why, why can't it be... can't it be mine?

Ah, yeah
