Lyrics Alkaline Trio

Alkaline Trio

All on Black

I put it all on black, the color you're all dressed in

And a stab in the back left you bleeding on the floor

And they're mourning the death, the recent passing of your insides

I smile in regret every time I think of how I spoke to you

I put it all in back of my mind where I hold you

I'm just trying to keep track how far back it really goes

And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from the Heavens

I'm just trying to relax as a killer's waiting right outside my door

What's black and white, what's red all over

This tired book, this organ donor

Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree, it hasn't rained in years

I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears

Leave it to me, I'll remain free from all the comforts of home

And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say, "I'll never really know"

I put 'em all in black, the four walls of my bedroom

And I trimmed them in red, peeled your picture off the wall

And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from your heartbeat

That arrived in your neck every time I salivated over you

What's upside down, what's coated in silver

This crucifix is my four leaf clover

Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree, it hasn't rained in years

I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears

Leave it to me, I'll remain free from all the comforts of home

And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say, "I'll never really know"

One of these days it's gonna catch up to you

Throwin' looks like those around

And one of these nights I promise to you

I'll soon be sleeping sound as soon as I leave town
