The Black Art

LETRA

The Black Art

Not the same person as before
With a different face to move along
And make it through each day
Until the black night sky

Don’t let me hear your voices
They keep me going on
So don’t you run this is a taste of its reward
You got to give it a hundred and ten percent

Day after day I replay
Switch it to the role of a new day
And it comes around
I’ll bury myself in a casket

I’ll take this face but your name will never change
You’ll keep my eyes but not my face

The mask we wear will never fade
Now that we have died
Down with what we had in mind
On the darkest days

We wear the mask to cover up the beauties
To keep me from falling

Pretend I can’t go back there
And this is all
Deep end I fell away from words

There’s a place that I love but it seems so far away

I am the same person as before
With a different face to move along
And make it through each day
Now that we have died we’ll take it to our graves
