Black Mood
I'm in a black mood
I've got rusted gears inside
Live-wire sparks strike like snakes
But I don't show it
What good would it do for you
To see a man trapped in his mistakes?
He's just a child with a face that's melted down
Goin' gray and faded out
Between the cracks of his smile, there's a death
Between every breath
I'm in a hallway
Of twisted dreams and hollow time
So numb to everythin' that comes through
I'm on a bender
The great pretender
With his bullshit up so loud, you can't hear truth
He's all alone now with nothing in his hеad
And a bottle there instеad
So blind to beauty when she comes to him at night
But he's lost his own fight
Save me from me
Angel of mercy, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm diggin' holes up to Heaven, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh
I drink the venom
To slow my rhythm
'Til my heart crawls to a stop and I don't care
I couldn't beat him
So I made my demon my best friend
'Cause he won't abandon me here
He's dressed in coattails and he's callin' me by name
He's pointin' with his cane
To some darkened door where I'll wind up on the floor
Again and again
Save me from me
Angel of mercy, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm diggin' holes up to Heaven, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh
Up to Heaven, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh
Up to Heaven, baby
I've got rusted gears inside
Live-wire sparks strike like snakes
But I don't show it
What good would it do for you
To see a man trapped in his mistakes?
He's just a child with a face that's melted down
Goin' gray and faded out
Between the cracks of his smile, there's a death
Between every breath
I'm in a hallway
Of twisted dreams and hollow time
So numb to everythin' that comes through
I'm on a bender
The great pretender
With his bullshit up so loud, you can't hear truth
He's all alone now with nothing in his hеad
And a bottle there instеad
So blind to beauty when she comes to him at night
But he's lost his own fight
Save me from me
Angel of mercy, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm diggin' holes up to Heaven, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh
I drink the venom
To slow my rhythm
'Til my heart crawls to a stop and I don't care
I couldn't beat him
So I made my demon my best friend
'Cause he won't abandon me here
He's dressed in coattails and he's callin' me by name
He's pointin' with his cane
To some darkened door where I'll wind up on the floor
Again and again
Save me from me
Angel of mercy, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm diggin' holes up to Heaven, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh
Up to Heaven, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh
Up to Heaven, baby
