Black Lyrics

As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
And I follow the tracks that lead me down
And I'll never follow what's right
And I wonder sometimes
When they see all the sadness and pain
The truth brings to light

'Cause I can't see no reason, what is blind cannot see
'Cause I want what is pleasin', all I take should be free
What I rob from the innocent ones
What I'd steal from the womb

As the walls are closing in and the colors fade to black
As the night is falling fast and deep into the sea
And in darkness all that I can see, the frightened and the weak
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of
At mercy are the meek

'Cause I can't see no reason what is blind cannot see
'Cause I want what is pleasin', all I take should be free
What I rob from the innocent ones
What I'd steal from the womb

If I cried me a river of all my confessions
