Black Ribbons

Broke down at the end of the night
Cant seem to get anything right
So numb I cant feel things anymore
Somehow could feel me letting go
I know theres so many things
That I need to do and
I need to say
No matter how hard
I tryI cant get the words out right
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
Im in the black and
Im out of control
Like a ship thats lost in the night
With no direction or guiding light
Man down and
Im drowning in the pain
Face down like a needle in the vein
Youre the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow
I cant keep you out of my rain
I see you standing in the rain
The lights in the city feel so bright
All these colors
Ive got inside
And in these streets
I feel like a foreigner
All I paint is myself in a corner
Going on seems to hurt so much
All the world seems so cold to the touch
When I go to sleep
I dont dream
I just see a blank television screen
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
Im in the black and
Im out of control
Like a ship thats lost in the night
With no direction or guiding light
Man down and
Im drowning in the pain
Face down like a needle in a vein
Youre the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow
I cant keep you out of my rain
I see you standing in the rain
Tie a ribbon for the child in me
On every door and on every tree
Make it black for the way that
I feelCause black is the only color thats real
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
Im in the black and
Im out of control
Like a ship thats lost in the night
With no direction or guiding light
Man down and
Im drowning in their pain
Face down like a needle in a vein
Youre the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow
I cant keep you out of my rain
I see you standing in the rain
Broke down at the end of the night
Cant seem to get anything right
