A currency of heartache and sorrow
The air we breathe is stale with mold
To shadows we are slavesDigging deeper everyday
But emptiness is growing so old
Headlamps light the tunnels we wander
They shimmer and they dance on the walls
We're lost inside these cavesAs the chances of escape
Grow slimmer til there's no chance at all
This ink it travels from the page
Up my hand into my veins
Choking on the stories I've told
If there are words here left to say
I just wanna let you know
I'm falling on my knees right now
I'm covered in the mess I made
These colors used to wash right outBut now they are a part of me
I've been searching for a remedy
When all along it's been in front of me
I need you here
I need you nowRight now
We traffic in the blackest of markets
Trade misery like diamonds and gold
The angst that we exchange
For applause and petty praise
Is finally now taking its toll
But there's a world above the ground
A life that we can lead
We're washing off the dirt from our clothes
I don't wanna live without
No I just wanna let you know
I'm falling on my knees right now
I'm covered in the mess I madeThese colors used to wash right out
But now they are a part of me
I've been searching for a remedy
And all along its been in front of me
I need you here
I need you now
Right now
Right now
Black stains
They mark me like a letter
Don't fade
Cracking under the pressure
Black stains
Nothing stays gold
There's a world above the ground
A life that we can lead
But we're lost deep down in these holes
And I have seen the way out
Now I just wanna let you know
I'm falling on my knees right now
I'm covered in the mess I made
These colors used to wash right out
But now they are a part of me
I've been searching for a remedy
When all along it's been in front of me
Your voice it washed the stains away
