The Black Market Rise Against

[00:00.14] A currency of heartache and sorrow
[00:05.70] The air we breathe is stale with mold
[00:10.69] To shadows we are slaves digging deeper every day
[00:15.33] But emptiness is growing so old
[00:21.35]
[00:38.71] Headlamps light the tunnels we wander
[00:42.66] They shimmer and they dance on the walls
[00:47.09] We're lost inside these caves as the chances of escape
[00:51.68] Grow slimmer 'til there's no chance at all
[00:55.19] This ink, it travels from the page
[00:57.75] Up my hand into my veins
[01:00.01] Choking on the stories I've told
[01:04.01] If there are words here left to say
[01:06.50] I just wanna let you know
[01:10.02] I'm falling on my knees right now
[01:13.72] I'm covered in the mess I made
[01:17.10] These colors used to wash right out
[01:20.54] But now they are a part of me
[01:23.25] I've been searching for a remedy
[01:26.00] When all along it's been in front of me
[01:29.52] I need you here, I need you now
[01:35.32] Right now
[01:44.15] We traffic in the blackest of markets
[01:48.22] Trade misery like diamonds and gold
[01:52.86] The angst that we exchange for applause and petty praise
[01:56.81] Is finally now taking its toll
[02:01.39] But there's a world above the ground
[02:03.65] A life that we can lead
[02:05.89] We're washing off the dirt from our clothes
[02:09.99] I don't wanna live without
[02:12.15] No, I just wanna let you know
[02:15.84] I'm falling on my knees right now
[02:19.15] I'm covered in the mess I made
[02:22.94] These colors used to wash right out
[02:26.25] But now they are a part of me
[02:29.08] I've been searching for a remedy
[02:31.85] And all along its been in front of me
[02:35.21] I need you here, I need you now
[02:40.27] Right now
[02:47.13] Right now
[02:55.72] (Black stains) They mark me like a letter
[02:58.75] (Don't fade) Cracking under the pressure
[03:01.76] (Black stains) Nothing stays gold
[03:08.28] There's a world above the ground
[03:10.59] A life that we can lead
[03:13.08] But we're lost deep down in these holes
[03:18.32] And I have seen the way out
[03:20.63] Now I just wanna let you know
[03:24.89] I'm falling on my knees right now
[03:28.19] I'm covered in the mess I made
[03:31.30] These colors used to wash right out
[03:34.70] But now they are a part of me
[03:36.97] I've been searching for a remedy
[03:40.34] When all along it's been in front of me
[03:43.87] Your voice it washed the stains away
[03:48.52] Woah oh, oh
[03:52.35] Woah oh, oh
[03:55.35] Woah oh, oh, oh
[04:02.69]
