The Black Lyrics
[Verse 1: Denis Stoff]
Bury me, just leave me to sleep in the dirt
Finish me, I'm floating away
There's a demon staring straight through your eyes
Am I wasting my time? Something's dying inside of me
[Pre-Chorus: Denis Stoff]
You make me feel like I'm fucking drowning
(I need to cut you out, I need to cut you out)
You made my world come crashing down around me
(I need to cut you out)
[Chorus: Denis Stoff]
Oh, God, I wish you'd just speak to me
Black is all that I see
Speak to me
You used to be all that I needed
[Verse 2: Denis Stoff]
I've been crucified and hung out to dry
Yet my heart still beats and I feel so alive
This time I'll fight for myself as you try to fuck me over
I bet you never cared, I knew you never cared
[Pre-Chorus: Denis Stoff]
You make me feel like I'm fucking drowning
(I need to cut you out, I need to cut you out)
You made my world come crashing down around me
(I need to cut you out)
[Chorus: Denis Stoff]
Speak to me
Black is all that I see
Speak to me
You used to be all that I needed
[Bridge: Denis Stoff]
I need to cut you out
I need to cut you out
I need to cut you out
I need to cut you out
[Outro: Ben Bruce & Denis Stoff]
I wish you could save me, there's something lost inside
I'm scared it might kill me, all my life
I've needed you with me, you've always let me down
But still, I try
Don't leave me here, I need you around
Don't turn your back on me, don't turn your back on me
Lift my feet off the ground, I can't cut you out
Your tongue like a knife, your eyes cut like daggers
I don't feel a thing 'cause I'm so dead inside
Lift my feet off the ground
Don't leave me here, I need you around, oh-oh

What did Asking Alexandria say about "The Black"?
Ben Bruce Via Revolver:
For me it represents the period we’ve just been through as a band. It was a really tough time, it just becomes known as that black period. But it always gets darkest before the light emerges. The light in this case was a skinny Ukrainian child.
