Black Eyes (Audiotree Live Version)

When you last left me

My blood was in a jar and you kept it on your mantlepiece

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

In the rain

You stole away

And took the parts that kept me functioning

Now 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 got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes

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