Black Eyes

When you last left me, my blood was in a jar
cnd you kept it on your mantlepiece
I couldn't count on anyone to stand there behind me
cnd keep the dogs from dragging me off with them
While I slept, you crept in
cnd pulled the rug right out from under me
In the rain, you stole away
cnd took the parts that kept me functioning
Now my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you
cnd I said: “This life ain't no love song.”
While I marched on blindly
cnd my knuckles dragged across the walls
cnd the birds up there mock me, and the scenery's turned wicked
cnd your name is trapped beneath my tongue
cll of the roads are one now, each choice is the same
cll 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
cll 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
cnd my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you
