Black Hearts and Evil Done Lyrics by Jerry Cantrell

Brighten

2021

[Verse 1]
Too many heads broke too many times
Tired of the same joke, tired of the grind
Comin' down's a bitch, Lord, harder to stay
Same punk in the mirror, different the day
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to build something, something alive
Digging for a fossil suspended in time
I want to feel something, something alive
Missing like a sunrise too cloudy to shine
[Chorus]
Oh, here it comes
Equal to the sum
Of black hearts and evil done
[Verse 2]
Too many heads hung, too few can be
Tired of the lies spun in the land of the free
Sеlling out's a mission; deal, settle, or suе
Same crook in the White House prospecting me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to build something, something alive
Digging for a fossil suspended in time
I want to feel something, something alive
Missing like a sunrise too cloudy to shine
[Chorus]
Oh, here it comes
Equal to the sum
Of black hearts and evil done
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
So many visions faded, enslaved
Slammed home in a prison, forgotten, locked away
Comes a decision, break your heart in two, yeah
Out with the old stuff, in with the new
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to build something, something alive
Digging for a fossil suspended in time
I want to feel something, something alive
Missing like a sunrise too cloudy to shine
[Chorus]
Oh, here it comes
Equal to the sum
Of black hearts and evil done
