Black ocean, cold and dark I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless But the only girl that could talk to him just couldn't swim Tell me what's worse than this And it echoes in the halls They danced along the walls The memories of your ghost You are the one that I used to love And I'm still in love, but I've never loved you the most I've seen better days So unafraid in my youth I can't breathe, much less believe You're getting everything you had Every little thing you had I'm gonna run repairs I've seen your fucking worst And at your worst, you're still the best But at my best, I am the worst It's a curse Your eyes are lined in pain Black tears don't hide in rain And I tied you to the tracks When I turned around, I heard the sound I hit the ground, I know there's no turning back I've seen better days So unafraid in my youth I can't breathe, much less believe the truth Better days, so unafraid in my youth I can't breathe, much less believe the truth Black ocean, cold and dark I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless But the only girl that could talk to him, she couldn't swim Tell me what's worse than this What's worse is all the coke The ice that numbs my throat if only for the night My muscles will contract, your bones will crack It's just a fact 'cause I am here to win this fight I can't fucking breathe, much less believe the truth I pick up a mag, aim for this head, and shoot Better days, so unafraid in my youth I can't breathe or believe the truth Your eyes are lined in pain Black tears don't hide in rain And I tied you to the tracks When I turned around, I heard that sound
