Black

Black you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
My life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that

The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack

Everything was looked at downy
What was good was up from under
Until black turned awful tender
Came and popped my sense of wonder
All at once all eyes turned at him
Leaving me an unwatched body
And dissect my body's ribcage
Out from under a glass study

Black was decomposing quickly
This was found offensive to me
His disrespect for life's proprieties
Made me scared he would destroy me

Black you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
My life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack

The thought I'd try to catch him
Try to force him 'neath my level
The only way to equal to him
Would be hit him with a shovel
But to really rise above him
That would be the final evil
So instead I asked this sucker

If he'd care to see my rooms
And as a friend and as a comrade
And all the things that these implied
Amazingly for the tools that he had
Used to keep us on the light

Black you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
My life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack

Now black and I we are together
Fairly just inseparable
And in the terrriest of weather
Our bond is incorruptible

Black you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
My life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack
