THE BLACK AND THE BLUE: Lyrics
© 2012 Slide Music Group, Inc.

When all the colors you see
All the colors you see
All the colors you see are the …
The black and the blue, the black and the blue,
When all the colors you see are the…

I painted you in neon colors and lights
You painted me in 3 shades of gray
I let you crawl in to the crevices
Of my fears, hopes, desires and my dreams
Trust used to flicker in your eye
Like a candle in the dark of the night
Don’t ever put your trust in man
They’re sure to fail you again and again

Well all this mess could have been avoided
Situations become exploited

[Chorus]
The black and the blue, the black and the blue
When all the colors you see are the black and the blue
The black and the blue, the black and the blue
When all the colors you see are the black and the blue
Well I don’t think I ever want to trust again,
Hearts, plans, and promises, have all been broken

And so you say no more lying friends
Just shake your fists and walk away from them
Destructive conflict inside is no way to live a life
So I choose to let go and forget
Well I think someone ought to exorcise
That little demon that goes unchecked inside
If you can’t move on turn your dusk into dawn
Then old ghosts will haunt your house

Well all this mess could have been avoided
Situations become exploited

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Ending]
When the whip comes down, I can feel dangerous
I may be cast down but I’m not forsaken,
I’m not forsaken, I’m not forsaken
No, no, no.
Dangerous
