Black Tiles

Watch the way they wait in line

Play this game with me in time

I see the way you look at me

Your eyes filled with cruelty

You don't have to confess

To sleeping in the lion's den

There is no end, no beginning

Are you my friend?

Black tiles in a line

Watch them fall serpentine

I see the snake in your eyes

Are you set to tell me lies?

Don't try to fight it, cause you won't

You won't let go, it's not wrong

All we can hope for is a light

That shines on

After we're gone

For all we know we're just here

For the length, length of the song

I hope I know when it's done

When it's gone

No one knows what happens next

There's no answer and no guess

Don't look at me, I'm doing fine

I'm just not your kind

Look away, don't move too fast

Fall forward, jump back

There is no end, no beginning

The warrior is not a foe and not a friend

Don't try to fight it, cause you won't

You won't let go, it's not wrong

All we can hope for is a light

That shines on

After we're gone

For all we know we're just here

For the length, length of the song

I never know when it's done

When it's gone
