Jet Black

Lyrics for Jet Black

I tell you this because As an artist I think you'll understand I'll be quiet to keep you quiet Don't concern yourself with my slow dying Through the vents I hear you sigh I don't get too high these days Your floor is my ceiling Lights out, you can't come in If you don't remind me, I won't forget you If you don't ask I won't upset you I am jet black, I am stone cold Jet black to the center Funny like a funeral I need you to bury me White noise in black room dust These hands long for one last touch Hourglass all out of trust I don't scratch so I won't itch I don't reach so I won't miss I taste our last kiss If you don't remind me, I won't forget you If you don't ask I won't upset you I am jet black, I am stone cold Jet black to the center Funny like a funeral I need you to bury me This is the cure, the same as the symptom Simple and pure, break to keep fixing Patiently nurse, patient and nurse This is the part I wouldn't show you The part where you say I don't even know you This is your cue, be glad that it's through I am jet black, I am stone cold Jet black to the center Funny like a funeral I need you to bury me Sometimes when I'm driving On the road at night I see two headlights coming toward me Fast I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly Head-on into the oncoming car I can anticipate the explosion The sound of shattering glass The flames rising out of the flowing gasoline
