Black Lyrics - Mercy (dancing For The Death Of An Imaginary Enemy) - Ours

So many lies I've confessed 

So many lies made a mess 

Pushed it all into something 

Pushed it all 

You turned and everything went black 

You turned and everything went black 

Would it have tried to compete? 

Would it have liked but to keep? 

Something told me you'd hurt me 

Somethings hold back 

You turned and everything went black 

Turned and everything went black 

You pushed it all so you'd never see it 

You pushed it all 

Nothing but pull the strings 

Danced in your soul 

You're so pretty, you are 

You're so pretty 

Turned and everything went black 

Turned and everything went black 

Turned and everything went black 

Turned and everything went black 

I never sought power for power's sake 

'Cause power in the hands of a dangerous man 

Is power in the hands of an enemy 

An enemy of yours and an enemy of mine 

That manipulates kindness for his own personal highs 

And he's counting lines, counting numbers 

Counting lines, counting lines, counting lines 

So don't look at me and sneer 'cause I'm nothing like you 

The difference is clear, I'm your nigger you built with fear 

I hope I live to see the day when your days go crashing away 

To show you that your reflection is as cold and as black 

As the organs that pump blood to your veins 

'Cause you see, I never really wanted to own you 

Or them or really anything, just me 

Pushed, pushed and pushed me 

Pushed it all into something black
