Beautiful Black

Black like the cherry colour I love so much
On my nails, in my hair and in my blood
Black like the depths of the deep dark sea
The belly of the ocean is carnivorus
Black like the vinyl records I smashed
With a hammer then hung on my wall
Black like the perfume bottle of my favourite
Perfume that I've ever bought

And I don't think the temperature
Has changed much since last autumn
But the air seems to be thicker and
I can't see through the fog
For fucks sake it's just September
But I really don't remember
Finding it so hard to breathe
Last year

It's just the way the cliff crumbles
Its just the way we weather
Losing track of time
Heads pressed together
You'd stay forever
But would you brave the grit?
It's easy to fly when your
Wings aren't clipped

Black like the pit of your stomach
When your heart drops
Black like the dark of your eyes
When it's night time
Black like the sky as it thunders when the leaves change
Black like the 3 inch heel boots I wore
In a mosh pit with the heel hanging off
I got them from my sister but
I think I pulled them off

And I don't think that the weather
Has changed much since last autumn
But the air seems to be thicker and
I can't see through the fog
For fucks sake it's just September
But I really don't remember
Finding it so hard to breathe
Last year

It's just the way the pillars crumble
Its just the way we're tethered
Losing track of our minds
Heads pressed together
You'd stay right here
But would you face the music?
It's easy to fly when your
Wings aren't clipped
It's easy to die for someone
Not so much to live

Black like the broken piano in my living room
Black like the hole in my soul where you used to live
Black like the cat on my street who's not a stray but can't go home
She sleeps under cars when it's
Raining
