Black & Blue

Being As An Ocean

Have you ever heard that love is a metaphor, a metaphor for the taste of the bottom, i fall to the floor, i fall to the floor...
I remember me and you
I remember what you did
I remember being numb
I remember feeling sick
For the taste of the bottom; the fall to the floor, have you ever heard that love is a metaphor for the way you failed me and now im failing you?
I want you to listen very, very carefully...
Like the serpent's tongue 
Like the storm that shakes me
Like the hand that beats me until im black and blue 
Like the autumn chill
Like the love that failed me 
Let the earth remove me 
Black and Blue... 
Have you ever heard that death is a metaphor, a metaphor for...
What if im not good enough? 
What if im not strong enough? 
What if im not kind enough? 
For what happens next? 
What happens then? 
Like the serpent's tongue 
Like the storm that shakes me 
Like the hand that beats me until im Black and Blue 
Like the autumn chill 
Like the love that failed me 
Let the earth remove me 
Black and Blue... 
Black and Blue 
Ohhhhh 
Like the serpent's, Like the serpent's tongue 
Like the storm that shakes me 
The hand that beats me Black and Blue
Like the autumn chill 
Black and Blue...
