The Color Black - Dayseeker

Bruised and bleeding

The embers glow

You couldn’t cover her shade of gold

The victim of your own attack

A waste of breath, distorted past

Your soul forever remains the color black

Wounded and scarred

Open your arms

So apathetic when you let it leave a mark

Spineless, you’re violent

When you can’t get away from yourself

You treat your closest like wasted moments

(Bruised and bleeding)

Don’t blame your father

When you are the cancer

She can’t get out of bed, how could she leave

Too scared to face reality

If you could think without your fist

And feel the pain that you inflict

Surely you would have to cut your limbs

But your soul is the color black

Spineless, you’re violent

When you can’t get away from yourself

You treat your closest like wasted moments

(Bruised and bleeding)

Don’t blame your father

When you are the cancer

She can’t get out of bed, how could she leave

Too scared to face reality

If you could think without your fist

And feel the pain that you inflict

Surely you would have to cut your limbs

But your soul is the color black

Bruised and bleeding

The embers glow

You couldn’t cover her shade of gold

The victim of your own attack

A waste of breath, distorted past

Your soul forever remains the color black

(Wounded and scarred, held in your arms

You feel the pain that you inflict)

Bleeding but the embers glow

Reflecting her shade of gold

Watch her as she turns her back

You remain the color black

Bleeding but the embers glow

Reflecting her shade of gold

Watch her as she turns her back

You remain the color black
