The Black Market Lyrics - Black Market - Rise Against

A currency of heartache and sorrow 

The air we breathe is stale with mold 

To shadows we are slaves 

Digging deeper everyday 

But emptiness is growing so old 

Headlamps light the tunnels we wander 

They shimmer and they dance on the walls 

We're lost inside these caves 

As the chances of escape 

Grow slimmer til there's no chance at all 

This ink it travels from the page 

Up my hand into my veins

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Choking on the stories I've told 

If there are words here left to say 

I just wanna let you know 

I'm falling on my knees right now 

I'm covered in the mess I made 

These colors used to wash right out 

But now they are a part of me 

I've been searching for a remedy 

When all along it's been in front of me 

I need you here 

I need you now 

Right now 

We traffic in the blackest of markets 

Trade misery like diamonds and gold 

The angst that we exchange 

For applause and petty praise 

Is finally now taking its toll 

But there's a world above the ground 

A life that we can lead 

We're washing off the dirt from our clothes 

I don't wanna live without 

No I just wanna let you know 

I'm falling on my knees right now 

I'm covered in the mess I made 

These colors used to wash right out 

But now they are a part of me 

I've been searching for a remedy 

And all along its been in front of me 

I need you here 

I need you now 

Right now 

Right now 

Black stains 

They mark me like a letter 

Don't fade 

Cracking under the pressure 

Black stains 

Nothing stays gold 

There's a world above the ground 

A life that we can lead 

But we're lost deep down in these holes 

And I have seen the way out 

Now I just wanna let you know 

I'm falling on my knees right now 

I'm covered in the mess I made 

These colors used to wash right out 

But now they are a part of me 

I've been searching for a remedy 

When all along it's been in front of me 

Your voice it washed the stains away
