Black and Blue - Matt Beilis, Kinetics

When every time we cross the line

We feel like we’re an inch from the bottom

When every cut can bleed for days

That we threw band-aids at the problem

You toss it off;

tell me to take it like a man

But I’ve hid the pain for just as long as I can stand

It’s all the same, every night, same old fight, but a different blame

Wrong or right, we both lose in this game

Black and blue, we both bruise the same way

We both bruise, black and blue, yeah

Black and blue, yeah

So let me be, just walk away

Yeah I would rather silence the red light

And in between, it’s possible

That I could see from here that’s a bad sign

You cut me off to try to make yourself look right

And you lost me, but hey at least you won the fight

It’s all the same, every night, same old fight, but a different blame

Wrong or right, we both lose in this game

Black and blue, we both bruise the same way

We both bruise, black and blue, yeah

Words can cut so much deeper than I’d ever try to make you feel

Well, I just don’t let you see me bruise, so you assume the pain ain’t real

And you just keep it going

It’s all the same, every night, same old fight, but a different blame

Wrong or right, we both lose in this game

Black and blue, we both bruise the same way

We both bruise, black and blue, yeah

Black and blue, yeah (x3)
