Those in Black Lyrics

They'll sell me a plan, I see it as the only way.
This well will run dry, as I choke and spit up these lies-
my sins will be forgotten like the warmth of compassion.
The heartless, the calloused as dogs...
We've sunk our teeth in too deep.

Hesitation, growing quicker with every second.
Years of empty promises, drowning in what we've become.
In what I've done...
What have I done?

Clouds rupture above your best intention.

Face the unwilling terms, written by those in black.
Give everything for nothing, running from forever.
Feel your heart fill with hate, loves greatest payback.
Watch your dreams slip away,
every moment your mind seems to stray.

And you will die, for me. But don't you ever cry for me.
Until these nightmares end, and these eagles descend
and pick you up, you scream.
But, don't you ever see it's a dream?
From corn fields above the park,
and pavement to the dark.

Hooks claw at my flesh...
The closest thing to enlightenment.
Broken, laid in a sea of wreckage,
she learns how fragile true cowards are.

Hesitation, growing quicker with every second.
Years of empty promises, drowning in what we've become.
In what I've done...
What have I done?

Clouds rupture above our best intentions.
