Black and Blue

By Gina Di Tullio 

Verse

Perched upon the statue bleeding

An apparition or is she real?

A halo of dust she’s pleading

This angel just might make you feel.

Insatiable quest for satisfaction

It killed our innocence then

Desperate to cure the affliction 

It frightens you to look within.

Chorus 

Enigmatic shields of valor

Chests of metal masking fear

Drowning anguish with our anger

Black and blue, you shed no tears.

Verse 

Daylight dissolves into darkness.

We’re funding our own demise.

The pain last only for a moment.

Don’t seek what you wish not to find.

Chorus

Enigmatic shields of valor

Chests of metal masking fear

Drowning anguish with anger

Still your black and blue baby

Can’t you see, not one single tear

Bridge

It’s death by consumption.

It’s hidden in the wall.

Surrender your soul now.

Just let it go.

And walk, just walk into the void.

Chorus

Enigmatic shields of valor

Chests of metal masking fear

Drowning anguish with our anger

Black and blue, you shed no tears.
