Deep inside I'm carrying the hits and beatings

Of a life I feel hasn't yet begun

I can hide the flesh from underneath the bleedings

But the scar can never be undone

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

It's haunting me

I felt so forlorn, my trust in other people faded

As my name was trashed all over town

Laughed to scorn, my skin was burnt and saturated

By the crowd who worked to bring me down

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

You're all I see

You would not believe if I told you what these eyes have witnessed

There's no room for the young and different

I'm relieved that my calmer days have finally surfaced

But I still assume I'm wrong and diffident

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

Every time I go black

I'm all you'll see
