My heart is black
The landscape's poison to my eyes
Full of lies and false persuasion
I wear a mac
The rain is poison to my skin
The streets have spies
They will crush you
Make a mockery of pride
Crush and forget you

Everyone says it's my perception
But everything I know comes through my senses
The black I see falls over me and you
Corrupting all that's rare and true
Oh!

My heart is black
I roam the city, there's no peace
Still I try, still I reason
I wear a mac
The rain is poison to my skin
They'll draw you in and deceive you
Draw you in with their deceit
Trick and deceive you
