Oh these black marks will be, the death of me
Sometimes they're all I can see
Even if there was a symphony
All I would hear is cacophony
And its not fair and its not right
That you can have just one stupid night
And its not right and its not fair
I call for you but you're never there
Chorus:
So take the white out, and see
All these black marks of humanity
Don't turn the light out, on me
Though the disgrace or lost face there may be
See its not easy, trusting
A record scathed and bleeding
But I'll show you
Clean loving
You're just a dream within a dream
You're just a song that I can't sing
I woke up 3 times cause I guess twice is not enough
that's when the going gets rough
And its not fair and its not right
That you can have just one stupid night
And its not right and its not fair
I call for you but you're never there
Chorus:
You can't get a dreamin if you can't fall asleep
and you can't find the missing peice when it's out of reach
you can't find your reason if you don't got rhyme
and you can't find your rhythm if you don't got time
When life is tearing at the seams
and you can't find the yells or screams
I can't seem to sing anymore
the more I play the less I seem to score
