Black Eyes

When you last left me, my blood was in a jar, and you kept it on your mantelpiece I couldn't count on anyone to stand there behind me And keep the dogs from dragging me off with them While I slept, you crept in and pulled the rug right out from under me (ah, ah, ah, ah) In the rain, you stole away and took the parts that kept me functioning (ah, ah, ah, ah) My heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you And I said, "This life ain't no love song," while I marched on blindly And my knuckles dragged across the walls And the birds up there mock me and the scenery's turned wicked And your name is trapped beneath my tongue All of the roads are one now, each choice is the same All the roads, they are one now, each choice is the same I won't show my hands now, I know this ain't a game All the roads, they are one now, each choice is Take a step, take another step, take another step, not a care for where they fall You burned me, yeah, you've burned me, yeah, you've burned me now one too many times And my thoughts are the cold kind, I've got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes And my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you
