The Black Market

[00:00.86] A currency of heartache and sorrow

[00:05.36] The air we breathe is stale with mold

[00:10.36] To shadows we are slaves digging deeper every day

[00:15.12] But emptiness is growing so old

[00:38.61] Headlamps light the tunnels we wander

[00:42.38] They shimmer and they dance on the walls

[00:46.61] We're lost inside these caves as the chances of escape

[00:50.86] Grow slimmer 'til there's no chance at all

[00:55.11] This ink, it travels from the page

[00:57.11] Up my hand and to my veins

[00:59.62] Choking on those stories I've told

[01:03.37] If there are words here left to say

[01:06.13] I just want to let you know

[01:09.87] I'm falling on my knees right now

[01:13.39] I'm covered in the mess I made

[01:16.62] These colors used to wash right out

[01:19.86] But now they are a part of me

[01:22.63] And I've been searching for a remedy

[01:26.12] When all along it's been in front of me

[01:28.87] I need you here, I need you now

[01:34.36] Right now

[01:43.86] We traffic in the blackest of markets

[01:48.11] Trade misery like diamonds and gold

[01:52.36] The angst that we exchange for applause or petty praise

[01:56.36] Is finally now taking its toll

[02:00.61] But there's a world above the ground

[02:03.12] A life that we can lead

[02:05.62] We're washing off the dirt from our clothes

[02:09.36] I don't want to live without

[02:11.88] I just wanna let you know

[02:15.36] I'm falling on my knees right now

[02:18.86] I'm covered in the mess I made

[02:22.37] These colors used to wash right out

[02:25.61] But now they are a part of me

[02:28.36] And I've been searching for a remedy

[02:31.61] When all along it's been in front of me

[02:34.63] I need you here, I need you now

[02:40.12] Right now

[02:47.11] Right now

[02:56.38] they mark me like a letter

[02:58.11] (Won't fade) cracking under the pressure

[03:01.86] (Black stains) nothing stays gold

[03:07.11] There's a world above the ground

[03:09.86] A life that we can lead

[03:12.37] But we're lost deep down in these holes

[03:17.36] And I've seen the way out

[03:20.36] Now I just want to let you know

[03:23.87] I'm falling on my knees right now (black stains)

[03:27.36] I'm covered in the mess I made (won't fade)

[03:30.86] These colors used to wash right out (black stains)

[03:34.12] But now they are a part of me

[03:37.11] And I've been searching for a remedy

[03:39.86] When all along it's been in front of me

[03:42.89] Your voice it washes the stains away

[03:48.11] (Wash the stains away)

[03:54.38] (Wash the stains away)
