So many lies I've confessed So many lies made a mess Pushed it all into something Pushed it all
You turned and everything went black You turned and everything went black
Would it have tried to compete? Would it have liked but to keep? Something told me you'd hurt me Somethings hold back
You turned and everything went black Turned and everything went black
You pushed it all so you'd never see it You pushed it all Nothing but pull the strings Danced in your soul
You're so pretty, you are You're so pretty
Turned and everything went black Turned and everything went black Turned and everything went black Turned and everything went black
I never sought power for power's sake 'Cause power in the hands of a dangerous man Is power in the hands of an enemy An enemy of yours and an enemy of mine
That manipulates kindness for his own personal highs And he's counting lines, counting numbers Counting lines, counting lines, counting lines So don't look at me and sneer 'cause I'm nothing like you
The difference is clear, I'm your nigger you built with fear I hope I live to see the day when your days go crashing away To show you that your reflection is as cold and as black As the organs that pump blood to your veins
'Cause you see, I never really wanted to own you Or them or really anything, just me
Pushed, pushed and pushed me Pushed it all into something black Read more at http://www.songlyrics.com/ours/black-lyrics/#9UYjfXH02UwQ4ZlW.99
