Black Would Be White

My tears don't let my flowers fade

My song fell silent in the shade

I'm numbed I'm standing still in fear

All that I lived for disappears

The air I breathe is getting close

I'm choking, feeling so exposed

I've come to kneel here in the dirt

To everyone I've ever hurt

Black would be white

If you would only hold my hand

Black would be white

I'd be yours

Wrong would be right

If you would only touch my hand

Night would be light

I'd be yours

I tried so hard to keep the flame

From being put out by the rain

That was my poor and last attempt

The darkest dream I've ever dreamt

My sun is black, my rain is blood

Mixed in the mourning-colored flood

It's true you won't know heaven well

If you have never been in hell

Black would be white

If you would only hold my hand

Black would be white

I'd be yours

Wrong would be right

If you would only touch my hand

Night would be light

I'd be yours
