Austin P. McKenzie
Dark. Black. Heart.
Heart (x2)
The snow is taking over
Wear a winter coat
His scarlet little letter
Could cut a throat
His eyes are so hollow
It's time to go
In a hotel in the covers
Just one more smoke
The swans are singing
The gods above are weeping
The night is falling
The ground below is calling
His soul is a lonely lover
A boy with a reckless hunger
For something yet unknown
So he tore himself apart
Yeah he tore himself apart
And gave himself cigarette black burns
To match his dark black heart
Heart (x2)
He wanted to know what
Was kept inside
The knowing, unknowing
Nowhere to hide
Don't touch it, more of him
He'll always lie
He's godless 'cuz God knows
He never tried
How does one escape
The Labyrinth and the sins
Kill the flesh around
To kill the flesh within
His soul is a lonely lover
A boy with a reckless hunger
For something yet unknown
So he tore himself apart
Yeah he tore himself apart
And gave himself cigarette black burns
To match his dark black heart
Heart (x4)
You ask why'd he do this
A boy with blue eyes
And a sweet sultry voice
A bombshell and a trumpet
Showed him the way
With a house of wine
To the man in the photograph
So I tore myself apart
Yeah I tore myself apart
And I tore myself apart
Yeah I tore myself apart
I gave myself cigarette black burns
To match his dark black heart
