Black Ribbons Lyrics - Singles - Shooter Jennings & Hierophant

Broke Down at the end of the night 

Can't seem to get anything right 

So numb I can't feel things anymore 

But somehow can feel me letting go 

I know theres so many things that I need to do 

and I need to say 

No matter how hard I try I can't get the words out right 

(Chorus) 

Man down tie a ribbon round' my soul 

I'm in the black and I'm out of control 

Like a ship thats lost in the night 

With no direction or guiding light 

Man down and I'm drowning in the pain 

Face down like a needle in the vein 

You're the only thing that keeps me sane 

But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain 

I see you standing in the rain 

The lights of the city feel so bright 

All these colors I got inside 

In these streets I feel like a foiler 

All I paint is myself in a corner 

Going on seems to hurt so much 

But all the world seems so cold to the touch 

When I go to sleep I don't dream 

I just see a blank television screen 

(Chorus) 

Man down tie a ribbon round' my soul 

I'm in the black and I'm out of control 

Like a ship thats lost in the night 

With no direction or guiding light 

Man down and I'm drowning in the pain 

Face down like a needle in the vein 

You're the only thing that keeps me sane 

But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain 

I see you standing in the rain 

Tie a ribbon for the child in me 

On every door and every tree 

Make it black for the way that I feel 

'Cause black is the only color thats real 

(chorus) 

Man down tie a ribbon round' my soul 

I'm in the black and I'm out of control 

Like a ship thats lost in the night 

With no direction or guiding light 

Man down and I'm drowning in the pain 

Face down like a needle in the vein 

You're the only thing that keeps me sane 

But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain 

I see you standing in the rain 

Broke down at the end of the night 

Can't seem to get anything right
