Black Beauty by Tristam Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Did you know, the streets are colder now
Than they have ever been, would you let me in
I'm invisible, you walk right on through
Like I wasn't there, like you didn't care
[Chorus]
All we ask is for your eyes to see us not for our disguise
Hear our beckon, hear our cries
Why can't you stop to meet our eyes?
All we want's a little love to trickle down from up above
We've been waiting for a flood, but all we've got is sweat and blood
[Verse 2]
You can't let me down, the prospect of a savior has lost its appeal
Maybe I can heal
They say that hope lives on
But I don't really care If I am treated as a quarter of my halves
[Chorus]
All we ask is for your eyes to see us not for our disguise
Hear our beckon, hear our cries
Why can't you stop to meet our eyes?
All we want's a little love to trickle down from up above
We've been waiting for a flood, but all we've got is sweat and blood
[Bridge]
I want to soar
I want to fly away
To freedom in outer space
If I were bold, if I were brave
I'd take a stand
I would accept the reins
I would assume the pain
I wouldn't need to place the blame
[Outro]
So when you're looking down upon
Our weary masks that life has drawn
Remember how you fill your void
Like us, you're trying to find some joy
Did you know, the streets are colder now
Than they have ever been, would you let me in
I'm invisible, you walk right on through
Like I wasn't there, like you didn't care
[Chorus]
All we ask is for your eyes to see us not for our disguise
Hear our beckon, hear our cries
Why can't you stop to meet our eyes?
All we want's a little love to trickle down from up above
We've been waiting for a flood, but all we've got is sweat and blood
[Verse 2]
You can't let me down, the prospect of a savior has lost its appeal
Maybe I can heal
They say that hope lives on
But I don't really care If I am treated as a quarter of my halves
[Chorus]
All we ask is for your eyes to see us not for our disguise
Hear our beckon, hear our cries
Why can't you stop to meet our eyes?
All we want's a little love to trickle down from up above
We've been waiting for a flood, but all we've got is sweat and blood
[Bridge]
I want to soar
I want to fly away
To freedom in outer space
If I were bold, if I were brave
I'd take a stand
I would accept the reins
I would assume the pain
I wouldn't need to place the blame
[Outro]
So when you're looking down upon
Our weary masks that life has drawn
Remember how you fill your void
Like us, you're trying to find some joy
