All On Black

Alkaline Trio · Good Mourning [2003]

put it all on black

the color your all dressed in

and a stab in the back

left you bleeding on the floor

and im mourning the death

the recent passing of your insides

i smile in regret everytime i think of how i spoke to you



i put it all in back

of my mind where i hold you

im just tryin to keep track

how far back it really goes

and im living in lack

of the blood sent from the heavens

im just tryin to relax

as a killers waiting right outside my door



whats black and white?

whats red all over?

this tired, busted, organ donar



sweet blasphamey my giving tree

it hasnt rained in years

i bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears

leave it to me ill remain free

from all the comforts of home

and where that is

im pleased as pissed to say

ill never really know



i put them all in black

the four walls of my bedroom

and i trimmed them in red

peeled your picture off the wall



and im living in lack

from the bloodsent from your heartbeat

that arrived in your neck

everytime i salivated over you



whats upside down? was coated in silver?

this crucifix is my four leaf clover



sweet blasphemy, my giving tree

it hasnt rained in years

i bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears

leave it to me, ill remain free

from all the comforts of home

and where that is

im pleased as pissed to say

ill never really know



one of these days

its gonna catch up to you

throwing looks like those around

and one of these nights

i promise to you

ill soon be sleeping sound

as soon as i leave town
