All On Black

"All on Black" is a song by the Chicago-based punk rock band Alkaline Trio, released as the second single from their 2003 album Good Mourning. The single was released only in the United Kingdom, with acoustic versions of "All on Black" and "We've Had Enough" recorded live for the Student Broadcast Network as B-sides, and reached #60 on the UK Singles Chart.

A music video for the song was planned, which was to feature Marilyn Manson as the devil in a purgatory-themed casino gambling against singer/guitarist Matt Skiba. However, the video was never filmed as Manson pulled out of the project. Commenting on the concept, Skiba remarked:

It sounds a bit cheesy, but the script was great and the set was going to be awesome, totally like Dario Argento-esque, just really creepy. We were going to have angels and all kinds of weird shit, really carnival like and trippy [...] we had the place rented and everything and just needed Manson, but he bailed and we kind of asked ourselves whom else could we get for the role and we kind of decided who could replace Manson. We were just so disappointed we were just like fuck it.

All On Black

I put it all on black, the color you're all dressed in
And a stab in the back left you bleeding on the floor
And they're mourning the death, the recent passing of your insides
I smile in regret every time I think of how I spoke to you
I put it all in back of my mind where I hold you
I'm just trying to keep track how far back it really goes
And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from the Heavens
I'm just trying to relax as a killer's waiting right outside my door
What's black and white, what's red all over
This tired book, this organ donor
Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree, it hasn't rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me, I'll remain free from all the comforts of home
And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say, "I'll never really know"
I put 'em all in black, the four walls of my bedroom
And I trimmed them in red, peeled your picture off the wall
And I'm living in lack of the blood sent from your heartbeat
That arrived in your neck every time I salivated over you
What's upside down, what's coated in silver
This crucifix is my four leaf clover
Sweet blasphemy, my giving tree, it hasn't rained in years
I bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears
Leave it to me, I'll remain free from all the comforts of home
And where that is, I'm pleased as piss to say, "I'll never really know"
One of these days it's gonna catch up to you
Throwin' looks like those around
And one of these nights I promise to you
I'll soon be sleeping sound as soon as I leave town
