Maybe I Have a Black Soul

Maybe I Have a Black Soul

You told me I was different
You told me I was crazy
You told me I’m amazing
You told me I’m so funny

You seem to feel some compassion
You seem to feel some pity
You seem to feel embarrassment
For this weird being of me
But most of all this restriction
I can see in your eyes like a disharmony

Maybe I have a black soul
I can shout in the night and drive you laughing to dawn
Maybe I have a black soul
It’s a movie you can’t move to the end till it’s done
Maybe I have a black soul
You can take a piece of it if you feel vulnerable

You said that maybe twice
I have a special way to think you said
You said I might be trapped
In a false cocoon of me

You told me I didn’t even know
Why I was so angry
It was so dark in my shadow
I had plotted my self-destructive conspiracy

And then you changed your voice
And then you tuned down the chord
You paled a bit away
You were not here but a lost anchor
On my side

Maybe I have a black soul
I resigned from any plan and their monthly payment
Maybe I am the devil
Anyway I cancelled my subscription to fulfillment
Maybe I’ll end up alone
You can take a piece of it if you feel vulnerable

There is no remission
There is no salvation
This is a very ancient story
There is no end to what I see
And I still feel some sympathy
For you all

Maybe I have a black soul
If you wanna spare some time you can call me evil
Maybe I have a black soul
And I’m gonna keep it it’s better for these blues
Of my own
Yeah yeah of my own way
