Out of the Black Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How did it feel when it came alive and took you
Out of the black? It broke your skin and shook through
Every part of me, every part of you
[Chorus]
You made a fool out of me and took the skin off my back running
So don't breathe when I talk, 'cause you haven't been spoken to
I've got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart bleeding blood from an empty pocket
[Verse 2]
I never knew why and you didn't care when
It closed every door, and washed away no sin
And I promised you like you promised me
But those vows we made fucked it up for free
[Chorus]
You made a fool out of me and took the skin off my back running
So don't breathe when I talk, 'cause you haven't been spoken to
I've got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart bleeding blood from an empty pocket
[Chorus]
You made a fool out of me and took the skin off my back running
So don't breathe when I talk, 'cause you haven't been spoken to
I've got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart bleeding blood from an empty pocket
[Outro]
And it tortures slow
Never lets you go
Deals a crooked hand

What did Royal Blood say about "Out of the Black"?
Mike Kerr told MTV UK:
Ben was doing this rhythm – the beginning of it – when we were in a pub having a pint, and then we were sort of going ‘oh wouldn’t it be cool if we did that’ …We had no idea it would be on the radio or anything.
We thought it was just really long and sort of our heaviest son...
What else have the artists said about the song?
Mike Kerr:
It seemed like the ultimate entrance. I was thinking of “Killing in the Name”—if that’s your opening statement, it’s just so bold. We were actually in the middle of writing “Loose Change” when we wrote it. The beat was an alternate beat to “Loose Change.” There was a moment where I was t...
