When we were young
Our teachers told us,
“There are holes that eat stars!”
My God will not forsake me.
“They can even eat planets,
They can eat everything you are!”
My God will not forsake me.
When we were young our parents told us,
"Don't leave the house after dark!"
My God will not forsake me.
"The monsters aren't under your bed,
They're in the yard."
"Never trust your friend
While there's a needle in her arm."
I'm watching oceans of sin
Pour from you into him.
I carved a box where you can live
In the middle of my ribs.
You can reach it like a treehouse.
You can climb there from my limbs.
Black holes! Black holes!
There really are black holes!
She looked into my eyes and said
They are black holes!
Well, then hers are stars
And stars are gold
For those kinds of riches,
I would do what i'm told.
Bullies and whores! Bullies and whores!
All the girls I've fallen for
Are bullies and whores!
Cuts on their lips
And bruises on their thighs!
Silver tears on their cheeks
From their big gold eyes!
It will be different this time.
Love, where'd you go?
When you coming home?
Love, where'd you go
When you didn't come home?
I try my best to grow up, but I don't.
I try to be a friend, but I'm alone.
I want to marry everyone that I know
And have a service in the snow.
My God will not forsake me.
When I was young my teacher told me
That i have an old soul.
When she said it, she looked me
Straight in the black hole.
When she said it
My heart turned into coal.
My God will not forsake me.
When I was young my Father said,
"Don't put bullets into peoples' heads.
Never take in a stray dog.
Never hold a meeting in the fog.
Don't climb into a stranger's bed."
Black holes! Black holes!
Do you believe in black holes?
There is something out there.
Warp speed. Mach 3. I am going in.
I can see my future, endless and black.
Hum for me, Love, I am going in.
