ESheets of empty Asus2canvas, untouched Esheets of clay Asus2

Were Elaid spread out beAfore me as her Ebody once did

EAll five horAsus2izons revolved Earound her soul Asus2as the earth to the sun

ENow the air I Atasted and breathed has Etaken a turn

CHmmmm, and all I taught her was everyEmthing

CHmmmm, I know she gave me all that Emshe wore

And now my Dbitter hands,

Chafe Cbeneath clouds

Of what was Emeverything

Oh, the Dpictures

Have all been Cwashed in black

Tattooed everytEmhing

EI take a Asus2walk outside I'm surErounded by some Asus2kids at play

Oh, EI can feel their Alaughter so, Ewhy do I sear

CHmmmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my Emhead, I'm spinning, oh

I'Cm spinning, How quick the sun can drop aEmway

And now my Dbitter hands

Cradle Cbroken glass

Of what was everEmything

All the Dpictures have

All been Cwashed in black

Tattooed everEmything

All the Dlove gone bad

Turned my Cworld to black

And tattooed all DI see,

All that CI am,

All I'll Embe

D CYeah EmUh huh DUh huh C

I Emknow someday you'll have a beautiful life,

I Dknow you'll be a star in soCmebody elses sky

But Emwhy, why, Dwhy can't it Cbe,

CWhy can't it be miEmne D C
