Black by Pearl Jam

Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did

All five horizons revolved (1)____________ her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has (2)__________ a turn

(Oh) and all I (3)____________ her was everything

(Oh) I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter (4)__________ (5)__________ beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
(Oh) the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by (6)________ kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear?
(Oh) and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I'm spinning
(Oh) I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands (7)____________ (8)____________ glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been (9)____________ in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am, all I'll be...
Yeah...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be
Why can't it be mine
