Black & White
THE STAVES · If I Was 2015 · Track 05 of 12
Written by The Staves
See myself in black and white It isn't done, it isn't right See it there before my eyes It's a sorry song, a sorry sight
You sunk your teeth, you're in me deep I couldn't sing, I couldn't sleep Beat your chest with both your hands For all I was, for all I am, all I am
Then all my thoughts solidify To sudden diamonds in my mind I lit the fuse so run and hide So honey sweet and [?]
Black and white, it isn't right To hold me down and bleed me dry Cut the ties that keep me up at night Or make me see myself in black and white
Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared Like an empty chair I was always there
Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared Like an empty chair I was always there
Black and white, it isn't right To hold me down and bleed me dry Cut the ties that keep me up at night Or make me see myself in black and white
See yourself in black and white It isn't done, it isn't right
