[Intro]

   


[Verse]

             
Sheets of empt

  
y canvas
             
Untouched shee

           
ts of clay
             
Lay spread out

   
 before me
       
As her body on

ce did
           
All five horiz

ons 
          
Revolved aroun

d her soul

As the earth t

o the sun
             
Now the air I 


tasted 
              
And breathed h

   
as taken a tur

n


[Pre-Chorus]

             
Hmmmm, and all

              
 I taught her 

         
was everything
             
Hmmmm, I know 

              
she gave me al

       
l that she wor

e


[Chorus]

           
And now my bit

ter hands,
      
Shake beneath 

clouds
            
Of what was ev

erything
        
Oh, the pictur

es
              
Have all been 


washed in blac

k
              
Tattooed every

 
thing


[Verse]

        
I take a walk 

outside
             
I'm surrounded

          
 by some kids 

at play
             
Oh, I can feel

       
 their laughte

r
    
So, why do I s

ear


[Pre-Chorus]

             
Hmmmm, and twi

              
sed thoughts t

              
hat spin 'roun

     
d my head, I'm

 spinning, oh
             
I'm spinning, 

              
How quick the 

              
sun can drop a


way


[Chorus]

           
And now my bit

ter hands
       
Cradle broken 

glass
              
Of what was ev

All the pictur

And tattooed a
