Blacker Than Blue

You’re there safe miles away My Gotham city’s not the same I make the trip alone The billboards seem to scream your name I cling to photographs While you hide my life in drawers You make appearances Still see your shadow at my door You pray for clarity Yet disregard the obvious While I sit here like a jerk Grasping at remains of us Blacker than blue I owe it all to you my Blacker than blue How can it live so long here I sketch my angel’s face And keep it in the sheets with me Hoping with random luck My dreams might keep me company Communication lost Although we still do share the moon How long can this go on I feel my autumn closing soon I felt the candle fall When you took the easy way out You snuff out your guilt and say That I’ll be better off somehow Blacker than blue I owe it all to you my Blacker than blue How can it live so long here Sad songs that spin away Slowly take my place I dance alone as autumn slowly falls from grace Slowly falls from grace Blacker than blue I owe it all to you my Blacker than blue How can it live so long here
