Rise Against - The Black Market

[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]
