Black and Blue

from Vim and Vigor by Navarone

lyrics

Black, blue and braces tight
Days spent like kings, catching trains all night
“It’s black and white, you see”
Drugs, shit, school, sexpiphanies
You want it all
Fight and slam the door, scream, shout, ignore(d)

Black, blue, (your) ace expired
You’re stock, you’re stuck, your stock, the kids, the game, you’re tired
It’s all that grey you learned
but kings and pawns all turned
their backs on you
You used to roar, now you choose to ignore

Come on stand beside and let it go
Won’t you let it go
And I am glad I’m not the man that you thinkto know
So let it go, oh, won’t you let it

Black, blue, but laces tied
Fright, pain, love, the world, disease and deceased survived
Infant care to raisin hands
Who is the kid and who pretends?
We are both the same so we’re not alone

Come on stand beside and let it go
Won’t you let it go
And I am glad I’m not the man that you think to know
So let it go, oh, won’t you let it

I’ve been around and therefore
I’ve seen it happen before
Don’t get stuck in your head

Cut the wheel
By and by
The hardest thing is to stay alive
Aim a little bit higher
