Black Eyes

When you last left me my blood was in a jar

And you kept it on your mantelpiece

I couldn’t count on anyone to stand there behind me

And keep the dogs from dragging me off with them

While I slept you crept in and pulled the rug right out from under me

Then the rain stole away and took the parts that kept me functioning

My heart will be blacker than your eyes when I’m through with you

And I said, this life ain’t no love song while I marched on blindly

And my knuckles dragged across the walls

And the birds up there mock me and the scenery’s turned wicked

And your name is trapped beneath my tongue

All of the roads are one now, each choice is the same

All the roads, they are one now, each choice is the same

I won’t show my hands now, I know this ain’t a game

All the roads, they are one now, each choice is…

Take a step, take another step, take another step, not a care for where they fall

You burned me, yeah you’ve burned me, yeah you’ve burned me now one too many times

My thoughts are the cold kind, I’ve got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes

And my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I’m through with you
