Black Marble
Collene
[Verse 1]
Hear me knocking on your window slow
Don't turn around to go
I hear your doubt
I'll reply with the sins of our whole town

[Verse 2]
Your hesitation's only natural
In my younger days, I built a wall
Hiding from the favored sons outside the union hall
Don't you know they had it all?

[Chorus 1]
The Biltmores are dead
All the Biltmores are dead
My memory's a mess
The millionaires are not impressed
You and I will make up all the rest

[Verse 3]
A stone creation never seemed so low
Don't ask me why... I don't know
Going down, you reply
"Your camera hit me right between my eyes."

[Verse 4]
Your insecurity seems natural
In my younger days, I knew it all
Standing tall in the bathroom stall
I had the non-believers where I want
Always holding on
[Chorus 2]
The Biltmores are dead
All the Biltmores are dead
My memory's a mess
All the Biltmores are dead

[Interlude]
Eating alone, what's the conversation?
Everyone knows about what you said
Sitting at home, what's the conversation?
Everyone knows why you're stuck in bed

[Verse 1]
Hear me knocking on your window slow
Don't turn around to go
I hear your doubt
I'll reply with the sins of our whole town
