The Black Market

A current sea of heartache and sorrow
The air we breathe is stale with mold
To shadows we are slaves digging deeper everyday
Where emptiness is growing so old.

Endless like the tunnels we wander
They shimmer and they dance on the walls
We're lost inside these caves as the chances of escape
Grow slimmer until there's no chance at all.

This sigit travels from the page
Up my hand into my veins
Choking on the stories I've told.

If there are words here left to say
I just wanna let you know.

I'm falling on my knees right now
I'm covered in the mess I've made
These colors used to wash right out
But now they are a part of me.

I've been searching for reality
When all along it's been right in front of me
I need you here
I need you now.

Right now!

We traffik in the blackest of markets
Trade misery like diamonds in gold
The answer we exchange for a possible paying price
Is finally now taking it's toll.

But there's a world above the ground
A life that we can lead
We're washing off the dirt from our clothes
I don't want to live without.

I just wanna let you know.

I'm falling on my knees right now
I'm covered in the mess I've made
These colors used to wash right out
But now they are a part of me.

I've been searching for reality
When all along it's been right in front of me
I need you here
I need you now.

Right now! (2x)

(Backstage)
They mock me like a letter
(Don't fade)
Cracking under the pressure
(Backstage)
Nothing stays gold.

There's a world above the ground
A life that we can lead
But we're lost, deep down in these holes
And I've seen the way out.

Now I just wanna let you know.

I'm falling on my knees right now
(work, stay)
I'm covered in the mess I've made
(we're free)
These colors used to wash right out
(work, stay)
But now they are a part of me.

I've been searching for reality
When all along it's been right in front of me
Your voice will wash the stains away
(wash the stains away).

Woo oh oh oh

(wash the stains away)
