The Staves - Black & White lyrics

See myself in black and white It isn't done, it isn't right See it there before my eyes It's a sorry song, a sorry sight You sunk your teeth, you're in me deep I couldn't sing, I couldn't sleep Beat your chest with both your hands For all I was, for all I am, all I am Then all my thoughts solidify To sudden diamonds in my mind I lit the fuse so run and hide So honey sweet and sugar kind, sugar kind Black and white, it isn't right To hold me down and bleed me dry Cut the ties that keep me up at night Or make me see myself in black and white Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared Like an empty chair I was always there Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared Like an empty chair I was always there Black and white, it isn't right To hold me down and bleed me dry Cut the ties that keep me up at night Or make me see myself in black and white See yourself in black and white It isn't done, it isn't right
