Black, is it dark enough? Is it hot or cold or stark enough? Black, is it dirty or sad? Is it old or cruel or broken or bad? Black, is it all you see When you close your eyes, you think of me? Black, black, black
Black, is it nightmare or dream? Is it midnight sky or silent scream? Black, is it the chains you wear? Or the color of the cross you bear? Black, is it what you hate? The hangmanВґs hood or the offering plate? Black, black, black
Is it the shame that drives you back? Is it the train that jumps the track Just as youВґre slipping through the cracks? Black, black
Black, is it your medicine Your soul, your hole or the shape youВґre in? Black, is it your wedding gown Your eyes, your lies or the truth youВґve found? Black, is it beautiful? Is it animal or criminal? Black black black
Is it the shame that burns your soul? Is it the fear you canВґt control? Is it the night that wonВґt let go? Black, black
Black, is it the enemy That hides inside of you and me? Black, is it the preacherВґs cloak Your fatherВґs curse or your motherВґs joke? Black, is it the pain you own Or the plague thatВґs eating at your bones? Black, black, black
Is it the ashes of your dreams? Is it the nature of your greed? Is it the walls between you and me?
