When It's Black - Electric President

Don’t get me caught up in the middle

Gotta live right

(You don’t know what I’ve seen)

I’ve seen you strung up like a scarecrow in the moonlight

(You don’t know what I know)

Oh lord, they took my name

They’ve got my name

Now I’m gone

Please, don’t you forget my face

You’re all I’ve got

Oh, I’m gone

(You don’t know how far)

We’ll drag you, white knuckled by the river on a cold night

(You don’t know just how cold)

We’ve gotten

Our hands are just icicles and dog bites

We’ll drag you off while you’re sleeping soundly on a black night

No, not me

I’m not like them

Not like them

I’m not that gone

Don’t you see we’re at your door?

Oh, the clouds are blacker than our pupils, darling

They are raining ink down on hills, trees and houses

When it’s black they’ll show up

When it’s all black they’ll show up

Once it’s black you’ll see the whites of my eyes

Come get my teeth

You don’t know where we’ve been

What we’ve seen, or who we are

You don’t know just what we’ll do

We’ve come for you

We’ve come for you
