Black

Deep inside

I'm carrying the hits and beatings

Of a life

I feel hasn't yet begun

I can hide

The flesh from underneath the bleedings

But the scar

Can never be undone

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

It's haunting me

I felt so forlorn

My trust in other people faded

As my name

Was trashed all over town

Laughed to scorn

My skin was burnt and saturated

By the crowd

Who worked to bring me down

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

You're all I see

You would not believe

If I told you what these eyes have witnessed

There's no room

For the young and different

I'm relieved

That my calmer days have finally surfaced

But I still assume

I'm wrong and diffident

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

I'm all You'll see
