Rattling Locks
There was a time I had the right key
Rolled the tumbler, slid the bolt
On every wandering eye I caught
But something has changed, this is all wrong
I’m out here in the cold with a wet face a-rattling your locks
There ain’t nothing new about the world
That I ain’t learned from just standing here in this spot
Ain’t nothing new about the world
That I ain’t learned from just watchin' you go by
I tell myself people are cold and strangers pass
Separate themselves from love
By building walls a hundred thousand miles high
Frostbite and heartsickness
Ain’t neither one of them so bad
If you can understand the reason why
Black hole, black hole
Are your eyes as empty as they look?
Black hole, black hole
How can your two eyes be empty as they look?
All along, I thought I was giving you my love
But you were just stealing it
And now I want back everything you took
(Black hole, black hole ... )
I had a dream where I was dying
But it weren't no nightmare
I was peaceful as I fell
And if I was falling into Heaven
Heaven must be hotter than the Bible tells
(Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole)
I woke up sorry I was living
Rather than rattling your locks
I rather spend another night in Hell
In Hell, in Hell, in Hell
(Black hole, black hole ... )
