lyrics

I make black holes in a building in my backyard
I mix it up in these little paper cups til I get it right
When I pour ‘em out they float like tiny little clouds, the absence of light
See I thought life would be so limitless and free, but now I don’t know me
Black on black on black on black on black on black night.
Distractions rain ‘til I can’t feel the pain that keeps me alive
I’m gettin’ numb darlin’, feel dull and dumb
I’m sorry I lost my tongue and my sense of balance
Free-fallin’ flight
See I thought life would be so limitless and free, but now I don’t know me
Black on black on black on black on black on black night.
Little black clouds I climb in
Elevator down to a future life
It always lasts longer than I’d like
I booked a room in a black-walled cocoon I put me on ice
I make black holes in a building in my backyard
I follow them,
I follow limb after limb until I’m tired
I sleep in there
Pipe in the air
Run new wires
Nobody knows me
I’m invisible
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
Black on black night.
