White Walls Black

She drew a chalk line down my back and whispered in my ear
A clever piece of nonsense, all so true, forever clear
She wasted all my slogans in her own peculiar way
And sent me on a pilgrimage to where she wouldn't say

Chorus: She's painting the black walls white
Everything's changing overnight
Get to the bottom, til I can't turn back
She's painting the white walls black

I tried to pick an argument, as I've been prone to do
She wouldn't have it any way, I'd pitifully pursue
So wishing I was someone else, I cursed my own remains
And scoured through my naked soul, for someway to explain

(Chorus)

Now I stay home on weekends and resist the urge to call
And wish I was invisible to stand against her wall
So damn this wicked logic, that has left me paralyzed
To turn these bitter memories, into sympathy revised

(Chorus)
