Deep inside I'm carrying the hits and beatings Of a life I feel hasn't yet begun I can hide the flesh from underneath the bleedings But the scar can never be undone Every time I go black Every time I go black Every time I go black It's haunting me I felt so forlorn, my trust in other people faded As my name was trashed all over town Laughed to scorn, my skin was burnt and saturated By the crowd who worked to bring me down Every time I go black Every time I go black Every time I go black You're all I see ♪ You would not believe if I told you what these eyes have witnessed There's no room for the young and different I'm relieved that my calmer days have finally surfaced But I still assume I'm wrong and diffident Every time I go black Every time I go black Every time I go black I'm all you'll see
