All on Black

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Matt Skiba] I put it all on black, no color you're all dressed in And a stab in the back left you bleeding on the floor And I'm mourning the death, the recent passing of your insides I smile in regret every time I think of how I spoke to you [Verse 2: Matt Skiba & Dan Andriano] I put it all in back of my mind where I hold you I'm just trying to keep track how far back it really goes And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from the heavens I'm just trying to relax as a killer's waiting right outside my door [Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba] What's black and white? (What's black and white?) What's red all over? This tired book (This tired book), this organ donor [Chorus: Matt Skiba] Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree, it hasn't rained in years I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears Leave it to me, I'll remain free from all the comforts of home And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say I'll never really know [Verse 3: Matt Skiba & Dan Andriano] I put 'em all in black, the four walls of my bedroom And I trimmed them in red, peeled your picture off the wall And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from your heartbeat That arrived in your neck every time I salivated over you [Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba] What's upside down? (What's upside down?) What's coated in silver? This crucifix (This crucifix) is my four-leaf clover [Chorus: Matt Skiba] Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree, it hasn't rained in years I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears Leave it to me, I'll remain free from all the comforts of home And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say I'll never really know [Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Dan Andriano] One of these days (One of these days) it's gonna catch up to you Throwing looks like those around And one of these nights (One of these nights), I promise to you I'll soon be sleeping sound, as soon as I leave town
