"Rattling Locks"

There was a time I had the right key
Rolled the tumblers
Threw the bolt
On every wandering eye I caught
But something has changed
It's all wrong
I'm out here in the cold
With a wet face
A-rattlin' your locks
There ain't nothin' new about the world
That I ain't learned from 'a just standin' here in this spot

Ain't nothin' new about the world
That I ain't learned from just watchin' you go by
I tell myself people are cold
And strangers pass
Separate themselves from love
By buildin' walls a hundred thousand miles high
Frostbite and heartsickness
Ain't neither one of them so bad
You can understand the reason why

Black hole, black hole
Are your eyes as empty as they look?
Black hole, black hole
How can your two eyes be as empty as they look?
All along I thought I was givin' you my love
But you were just stealin' it, now I want back
Every single thing you took

Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole

Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole

Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole

I had a dream where I was dyin'
But it wasn't no nightmare
I was peaceful as I fell
And if I was fallin' in to heaven
Heaven must be hotter than the bible tells
I woke up sorry I was living
Rather than rattlin your locks
I'd rather spend the night in hell
In hell
In hell
In hell

Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black hole
Black hole, black
