White Walls Black She drew a chalk line down my back and whispered in my earA 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) *** |
