So many lives I've confessed   So many lives made a mess   Pushed it all into something   Pushed it all      [chorus]   You turned and everything went black   You turned and everything went black      Wouldn't have tried to compete   Wouldn't have lied but to keep   Something told me it hurt me   Somethings hold   Back      [chorus]   You turned and everything went black   Turned and everything went black      You pushed it all so you'd never see it   You pushed it all...   Laughing and   You're pulling strings   Dancing on the souls of the weak      And you're so pretty   You are.   You're so pretty      [chorus]   You turned and everything went black   Turned and everything went black   You turned and everything went black   You turned and everything went black      [speaking]   I never sought power for power's sake   'cause power in the hands of a dangerous man   Is power in the hands of an enemy   ...an enemy of yours an and enemy of mine   Who manipulates kindness   For his own personal highs   And he's counting lines, counting numbers   Counting lines, counting lines, counting numbers   ...so don't look at me and sneer   'cause I am nothing like you   The difference is clear   I'm your nigger you build with fear   And I hope I live to see the day   When your ideals go crashing away   To show you that your reflection is as cold   And as black   As the organs that pump blood to your veins   Because, you see...   I never wanted to own you or   Really anything   Just me      But you pushed   Pushed and pushed me   You pushed   Pushed and pushed me...      Pushed it all into something   Black
