Black Eyeliner

It's easy when the world is black
No looking forward, no turning back
No reason for more than slack
Only nothing (but you've got the knack)

Everyone nods (you're so hardcore)
Prepared for what the world's got in store
Life's unfair and you've got the shirt
Black eyeliner keeps you from getting hurt

Long sleeves for scars
Shades for shiners
Beat the tears with black eyeliner
Never let the world know that you really care

Long sleeves for scars
Shades for shiners
Beat the tears with black eyeliner
Can't be hurt when you're never really there

Black lipstick on your cigarette
An ahnk for death around your neck
Rings in your lips and tattoos you can never show

Too wise for tears once you've stopped crying
Letting in is the same as dying
Never let the world know that you'd rather bleed than be

Long sleeves for scars
Shades for shiners
Nothing gets past your black eyeliner
Keep the curious away
Hides the things that you can't say

Long sleeves for scars
Shades for shiners
Razor blades, there's nothing finer
Eventually you suppose that you'll let them know

No looking forward, no turning back
It's easier when the world is black
Life's unfair but you're so hardcore

Long sleeves for scars
Shades for shiners
Hiding, leaving, nothing's finer
Keep your fucking black eyeliner
Life's unfair, you're so hardcore
Eventually you'll show them all someday
