Lyrics
0:00See myself in black and white
0:03It isn't done it isn't right
0:06See it there before my eyes
0:10It's a sorry song a sorry sight
0:13You sunk your teeth you're in me deep
0:16I couldn't sing I couldn't sleep
0:19Beat your chest with both your hands
0:23For all I was for all I am all I am
0:39Then all my thoughts solidify
0:42To sudden diamonds in my mind
0:45I lit the fuse so run and hide
0:48So honey sweet and sugar kind sugar kind
0:58Black and white it isn't right
1:04To hold me down and bleed me dry
1:11Cut the ties that keep me up at night
1:17Or make me see myself in black and white
1:30Well I can bite my lips I can chew my hair
1:33But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared
1:36Like an empty chair I was always there
1:43Well I can bite my lips I can chew my hair
1:46But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared
1:49Like an empty chair I was always there
2:02Black and white it isn't right
2:08To hold me down and bleed me dry
2:15Cut the ties that keep me up at night
2:21Or make me see myself in black and white
2:28See yourself in black and white
2:31It isn't done it isn't right
See myself in black and white It isn't done it isn't right See it there before my eyes It's a sorry song a sorry sight You sunk your teeth you're in me deep I couldn't sing I couldn't sleep Beat your chest with both your hands For all I was for all I am all I am Then all my thoughts solidify To sudden diamonds in my mind I lit the fuse so run and hide So honey sweet and sugar kind sugar kind Black and white it isn't right To hold me down and bleed me dry Cut the ties that keep me up at night Or make me see myself in black and white Well I can bite my lips I can chew my hair But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared Like an empty chair I was always there Well I can bite my lips I can chew my hair But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared Like an empty chair I was always there Black and white it isn't right To hold me down and bleed me dry Cut the ties that keep me up at night Or make me see myself in black and white See yourself in black and white It isn't done it isn't right
