  Verse Lyrics are:

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


Verse:
all five horizons,
revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
now the air i tasted an breathed,
has taken a turn

Chorus Lyrics are:
                                     
oooh all i know i tought her was...everything
                                       
oooh all i she gave me all...that she wore
         
and my bitter hands
         
shake beneath the clouds
               
what was everything
                                 
all the pictures have all been washed in black
                 
tatooed everything

Verse:
I take a walk outside 
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
so what can I say  

Chorus:
                                                  
oooh all my twisted thoughts they spin around my head im spinnin
                                                
oooh im 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 someday you'll have a beautiful life
 
I know you'll be a sun,
                                 
in somebody elses sky, whyhy, whyhy, whyhy
                               
can't it be, can't it be in miiiiiiiiine
