Black And White

She comes in black and white
A negative and some light
She doesn’t seem it seems to me
The antique machinery
Looking for a vein in the concrete
Singing someone else to sleep

In the shadow of the cross
In the ruins where the ruined get lost


That’s where she appears to me
Breaking in broken smiles
A cast off dream
A reflection for awhile

In her debt ’till death
I’ve been tied to less
In the shadow of the cross
In the ruins where the ruined get lost

So I’m bound until I break
Until I undeclare
There’s only so much I can take
I left the rest back there

In the shadow of the cross
In the ruins where the ruined get lost
