Jet Black

Lyrics

[Intro] I tell you this because As an artist, I think you'll understand [Verse 1] I'll be quiet to keep you quiet Don't concern yourself with my slow dying Through the vents I hear you sigh I don't get too high these days Your floor is my ceiling Lights out, you can't come in [Pre-Chorus] If you don't remind me, I won't forget you If you don't ask, I won't upset you [Chorus] I am jet black I am stone cold Jet black to the center Funny like a funeral I need you to bury me [Verse 2] White noise in black room dust These hands long for one last touch Hourglass all out of trust I don't scratch so I won't itch I don't reach so I won't miss I taste our last kiss [Pre-Chorus] If you don't remind me, I won't forget you If you don't ask, I won't upset you [Chorus] I am jet black I am stone cold Jet black to the center Funny like a funeral I need you to bury me [Bridge] This is the cure, the same as the symptom Simple and pure, break to keep fixing Patiently nurse, patient and nurse This is the part I wouldn't show you The part where you say, "I don't even know you" This is your cue, be glad that it's through [Chorus] I am jet black I am stone cold Jet black to the center Funny like a funeral I need you to bury me [Outro] Sometimes, when I'm driving on the road at night I see two headlights coming toward me, fast I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly Head-on into the oncoming car I can anticipate the explosion The sound of shattering glass The flames rising out of the flowing gasoline
