this might be wrong sorry if it is.


                     
sheets of empty canvas
                         
untouched sheets of clay              
                   
her lace spread out before me 
        
as her body once did


                  
all five horizons,
                                           
revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
                  
now the air I tasted and breathed,
    
has taken a turn
                                      
oooh all I know I taught her was.. everything
                                      
oooh all I she gave me all.. that she wore
         
and my bitter hands 
         
shake beneath the clouds
                  
of what was everything
                                 
all the pictures have all been washed in black
                
tatooed everything
                  
I take a walk outside 
                                
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
             
I can feel their laughter
     
so what can I say
                                               
ooh all my twisted thoughts they spin round my head im spinnin
                                               
oooh i'm spinnin how quick the sun can drop awayayayay
       
and my bitter hands 
    
cradle broken glass
               
of what was everything
                         
all my pictures have all been washed in black

tatooed everything
       
all my love gone bad
        
turned my world to black
          
tatooed all I see
        
all that I am
                 
all that I'll beeeeeeee   yeaahheah

   
I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
  
I know you'll be a sun,
                                   
in sombody elses sky, whyhy, whyhy  whyhy 
                                
cant it be in, cant it be miiiiiiine.
