• Tarnished - Black Tape For A Blue Girl

Spoil the soul, Spoil the flesh
Inhaling sin to survive
Leaving grace behind
Feel the dirt under your skin
Feel the filth work it's way in
Long gone is the purity
Lust and indulgence thrive
Your heart's now black and dark
Feel the dirt under your skin
Feel the filth work it's way in
Feel the steel piercing your flesh
Feel the surge taking your breath
Feel the blood pump in your veins
Feel the rush that drives you insane
Fouled by your selfish ways, Fouled by your arrogant
bliss
Fouled by the mistakes you've made, Fouled by the
poison you take
Banished by the ones you loved, Banished by the ones
you trust
Banished from your house of faith, Banished by the God
you praised
You are the guilty
You are the shamed
You took the good
Threw it away
Destroyed your life
And those you've betrayed
You have been tarnished
A life now tarnished
Desperate now to cleanse your soul, Desperate now to
save your soul
Fallen down you've lost control, Fallen down you've
failed them all
Tortured by the envy that grows, Tortured by the anger
that flows
Hurt is now all you will know, Hurt is now your only
absolute
You are the guilty
You are the shamed
You took the good
Threw it away
Destroyed your life
And those you've betrayed
You have been tarnished

Riding through nostalgia, shaking memories by the mile
The city lights are closing in on him
The distance grows shorter for a while
He wonders what dreams fill her heart
And wonders if what they had could ever be sparked
"the roads never lead where they're supposed to go"
That's what he tells himself before he lets it go
Out on the cold grey plain, sunken on the side of the road
The words bleed off the page, the letter becomes well-soaked
"no more turning backwards," he says, as he drives off in the rain
Ventures on up through the colorades and settles under the rock
And pines, and stakes claim
Still he wonders what what dreams fill her heart
And wonders if what they had could ever be sparked
The roads never lead where they're supposed to go
They just twist 'round and 'round the flame
The eyes closing, the heart retains
A bit of a spark before it fades away

Adapt to daylight that breaks over roofs on horizon
Split chest to concrete to clear sinus
Letters curve like true writers
Respect due to Phase2
Bombs grew from angst of knuckled fighters
EFX:
The ones who fell in urban combat
the ones who never cared to adapt
The ones in life who always felt trapped
The ones who made a real impact
The ones who molded exactly where these thought sat.
Verses amplified acoustically through wires
Makes perfect sense in mind with liquored virus
It all makes sense when mind's on liquored virus
Traveled under soil with Osiris
Birth and death of modern world on the Tigris
Why fight this?
Okt nigga why you even mic this?
Most the rest of world don't even like us
Ink flow from pen to raw papyrus
12 straight hours doing work ain't even tired
Tried and hung from sycamore
cause i attempt to play Picasso for the poor
No one wants to hear this lion's roar
No one wants to hear a lion's roar
Attempts on life are insured
With truths i spit on tours
Bourge muthafukas expect us on all fours
Use brute force when i need to underscore
the perfect paragraph always hit block raw
Hits blocks (raw).
chorus:
Endure the everyday, remain tarnished
truth is all tarnished
Corner stoops is all tarnished
Even when it's strength we try to harness
My mental stay tarnished
The way we act on streets is all tarnished
Even when we meek we still tarnished
All the words we speak is mad tarnished
The core of man tarnished
They say at best we tamed savage
this train of thought kept collective souls all
ravished
Raised a weary fist to catch my breath above the gutter
gave away our hope and dignity as not to smother
We still suffer!
Tragedy at times results in stutter
Stability off kilter
Resist within oppression
the struggle is our weapon
Perhaps this is the blessing
Existence as the lesson.

No one wants to hear a lion's roar
Attempts on life are insured
With truths i spit on tours
Bourge muthafukas expect us on all fours
No need to mention where we is or where we at
Instead i reminisce on all my peoples that we lost
Black
The ones who molded exactly where these thought sat
The ones who taught me how to act
The ones who fell in urban combat
the ones who never cared to adapt
The ones in life who always felt trapped
The ones who made a real impact
The ones who had the qualities your average man lacks
Commit their memories to wax
In fact commit their very tarnished essence to the core
of (this track).

As the political punks hide from reality down on the
drive clinging to useless causes that are so fucking vain
just taken on to prove they deserve their name. Wash them
away. The destitute huddles together on the side of
streets that flow like rivers and the fortunate live
sheltered within a gentrified fantasy. And no one really
sees the vagabond hands palm up for help it is like to us
the rain hs washed them away. Wash them away. And the
junkies scuffle and leach down by the Carnegie and a
shadow barley clothed stand so pathetic at the side of
the road. Ready to see her soul she doesn't feel the cold
the despair of this city has already swallowed her whole.
And there's something about this city where the grey
winter days seems to bring out the decay. And it will
drench you down to your very soul. To your very soul. And

When minutes become hours
When days become years
And I don’t know where you are
Color seems so dull without you
Have we lost our minds?
What have we done?
But it all doesn’t seem to matter anymore
When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes
I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
I’m drenched in your love
I’m no longer able to hold it back
Is it too late to ask for love?
Is it wrong to feel right?
When the world is winding down
Thoughts of you linger around
Have we lost our minds?
What have we done?
But it all doesn’t seem to matter anymore
When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes
I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
I’m drenched in your love
I’m no longer able to hold it back
When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes
I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
I’m drenched in your love

Tarnished
Well Halo came down from the stage fell down
He slumps into somebody's arms
Wounds torn open, desire exposed
We grab for a piece of his soul
I have been broken, divided
Annihilated
A thousand dreams left in bloody heaps
Halo at the center
Shouting and whispering truth
Rays around the sun in search of an answer(?)
We gather closer for a final look
Taste his tears
Devour him
Slaughterd up, we eat and eat
Well, Halo draws back, to his full height
Smiles once again, he's the king of this light
Rubs between his fingers blood from bits of - bits of flesh
I have been broken, divided
Annihilated
I deserve this, always more tarnished
Exhausted but alive
I desire this, always more tarnished
Exhausted but alive
I demand this, always more tarnished
