Black Book Lyrics by Opiate for the Masses

Manifesto

2008

[Verse 1]
Cold winds blowin' out my cigarette
Numbness can't conceal
I'm hangin' like a marionette
Can you make me real?
[Pre-Chorus]
See the world best I can
Through the smoke as its hand
As it's hand tries to choke me again
[Chorus 1]
Got my black book open and I'm burnin' down the dead hotel
Hundred-thousand miles in my way on the road to Hell
Gimme somethin' to touch, somethin' I can smell (For you)
I'll take it to my grave as I burn for you, burn for you
[Verse 2]
Blind weights pulling in my skin down fast
Like only time can tell
Guess this letter's gonna be my last
I hope it finds you well
[Pre-Chorus]
See the world best I can
Through the smoke as its hand
As it's hand tries to choke me again
[Chorus 2]
Got my black book open and I'm burnin' down the dead hotel
Hundred-thousand miles in my way on the road to Hell
Gimme somethin' to touch, somethin' I can smell (For you)
I'll take it to my grave as I burn for you, burn for you
[Interlude]
Burn for you, burn, burn for you
Burn, burn for you
Burn for you
Burn for you
Burn for you
Burn for you
Burn for you
Burn for you
Burn for you
[Bridge]
Hundred-thousand miles away (Hey)
I've fallen (Hey, hey)
I can feel my final day (Hey) is callin' (Hey, hey)
I'm burnin' alive for you
Just reachin' for somethin' true
I'm burnin' alive for you
I need somethin' to pull me through, to pull me through
[Chorus 3]
Got my black book open and I'm burnin' down the dead hotel
Hundred-thousand miles in my way on the road to Hell
Gimme somethin' to touch, somethin' I can smell (For you)
I'll take it to my grave as I burn for you, burn for you
Got my black book open and I'm burnin' down the dead hotel
Hundred-thousand miles in my way on the road to Hell
Gimme somethin' to touch, somethin' I can smell (For you)
I'll take it to my grave as I burn for you, burn for you
