Black
Sarah Mclachlan
As the walls are closing in 
And the colors fade to black 
As my eyes are falling fast and deep into me 
And I follow the tracks that lead me down 
And I never follow what's right 
And they wonder sometimes when they see all the 
Sadness and pain the truth begins to light 

Cause I can't see no reason 
What is blind cannot see 
Cause I want what is pleasing 
All I take should be free 
What I rob from the innocent ones 
What I'd steal from the womb 

As the walls are closing in 
And the colors fade to black 
As the night is falling fast and deep into the sea 
And in darkness all that I can see 
The frightened and the weak 
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of 
At mercy are the meek 

Cause I can't see no reason 
What is blind cannot see 
Cause I want what is pleasing 
All I take should be free 
What I rob from the innocent ones 
What I'd steal from the womb
