A currency of heartache and sorrow
The air we breathe is stale with mold
To shadows we are slaves
digging deeper everyday
But emptiness is growing so old
Headlamps light 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 ink 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 colours used to wash right out
But now they are a part of me
I've been searching for a remedy
When all along it's been right in front of me
I need you here
I need you now
Right now!
We traffiс in the blackest of markets
Trade misery
like diamonds and gold
The angst that we exchange
for applause or petty praise
Is finally now taking its 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 colours used to wash right out
But now they are a part of me
I've been searching for a remedy
When all along it's been right in front of me
I need you here
I need you now
Right now
Right now!
(Black stains)
they mark me like a letter
(Don't fade)
cracking under the pressure
(Black stains)
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 want to let you know
I'm falling on my knees right now
(black stains)
I'm covered in the mess I made
(won't fade)
These colors used to wash right out
(black stains)
But now they are a part of me
And I've been searching for a remedy
When all along it's been in front of me
Your voice it washed the stains away
(Wash the stains away)
Woo oh oh oh
(Wash the stains away)
