All On Black

All On Black

Alkaline Trio
(album: Good Mourning)

I put it all on black, no color you´re all dressed in
And a stab in the back left you bleeding on the floor
And I´m mourning the death, the recent passing of your insides
I smile in regret every time I think of how I spoke to you

I put it all in back of my mind where I hold you
I´m just trying to keep track how far back it really goes
And I´m living in lack of the blood sent from the heavens
I´m just trying to relax as the killer´s waiting right outside my door

What´s black and white?
What´s read all over?
This tired book, this organ donor

Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree
It hasn´t rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me, I remain free from all the comforts of home
And where that is, I´m pleased as piss to say, I´ll never really know

I put them all in black, the four walls of my bedroom
And I trimmed them in red, peeled your picture off the wall
And I´m living in lack of the blood sent from your heartbeat
That arrived in your neck every time I salivated over you

What´s upside down?
What´s coated in silver?
This crucifix is my four leaf clover

Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree
It hasn´t rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me, I remain free from all the comforts of home
And where that is, I´m pleased as piss to say, I´ll never really know

One of these days, it´s gonna catch up to you
Throwing looks like those around
One of these nights, I promise to you
I´ll soon be sleeping sound
As soon as I leave town
