Black Is The New Black Lyrics - Singles - Holding Sand

It's the same old routine since you've gone away 

I'm waking up all alone every single day 

I'm taking care of myself but sometimes I think 

What if I slip and bang my head on the sink 

Will the neighbor notice than I didn't go home 

That I don't pick up the telephone 

Or will she wait until I rot and stink 

When a big fat fly drowns in her drink 

Black, Black is the new black 

Everytime I strive, I don't live 

I just survive 

But I shouldn't let my thoughts stray 

God I am still alive, it's my lucky day 

The sun goes down and I'm doing fine 

As long as I stay away from every spine 

The butcher knives and the microwave 

The magazines that cut like razorblades 

The sun goes down and I'm doing good 

I can let it go and pass out in the bedroom 

Black, Black is the new black 

Everytime I strive, I don't live 

I just survive 

Despite what I said, you'll always be more than just a friend to me.
