Black & Blue Lyrics - Being As An Ocean

[Intro] 

Have you ever heard that love is a metaphor? 

A metaphor for the taste of the bottom 

The fall to the floor 

I fall to the floor 

[Verse 1] 

I remember me and you 

I remember what you did 

I remember being numb 

I remember feeling sick 

For the taste of the bottom, the fall to the floor 

Have you ever heard that love is a metaphor 

For the way you failed me? 

And now I'm failing you 

(I want you to listen very, very carefully)

[Chorus] 

Like the serpent's tongue 

Like the storm that shakes me 

Like the hand that beats me, until I'm black and blue 

Like the autumn chill 

Like the love that failed me 

Let the Earth remove me 

Black and blue 

Black and blue 

[Verse 2] 

Have you ever heard that death is a metaphor? 

A metaphor for, "What if I'm not good enough? 

What if I'm not strong enough? 

What if I'm not kind enough for what happens next? 

For what happens then?"

[Chorus] 

Like the serpent's tongue 

Like the storm that shakes me 

Like the hand that beats me, until I'm black and blue 

Like the autumn chill 

Like the love that failed me 

Let the Earth remove me 

Black and blue 

Black and blue 

[Chorus] 

(Like the serpent's tongue) 

Like the serpent's tongue 

(Like the storm that shakes me) 

And the storm that shakes me 

(The hand that beats me) 

The hand that beats me black and blue 

(Like the autumn chill) 

Like the autumn chill 

(Like the love that failed me) 

Lo-ove, lo-ove 

Lo-o-ove 

Black and blue
