Black & Blue

Have you ever heard that love is a metaphor, a metaphor for the taste of the bottom, i fall to the floor, i fall to the floor...

I remember me and you

I remember what you did

I remember being numb

I remember feeling sick

For the taste of the bottom; the fall to the floor, have you ever heard that love is a metaphor for the way you failed me and now im failing you?

I want you to listen very, very carefully...

Like the serpent's tongue

Like the storm that shakes me

Like the hand that beats me until im black and blue

Like the autumn chill

Like the love that failed me

Let the earth remove me

Black and Blue...

Have you ever heard that death is a metaphor, a metaphor for...

What if im not good enough?

What if im not strong enough?

What if im not kind enough?

For what happens next?

What happens then?

Like the serpent's tongue

Like the storm that shakes me

Like the hand that beats me until im Black and Blue

Like the autumn chill

Like the love that failed me

Let the earth remove me

Black and Blue...

Black and Blue

Ohhhhh

Like the serpent's, Like the serpent's tongue

Like the storm that shakes me

The hand that beats me Black and Blue

Like the autumn chill

Black and Blue...
