Lyrics (unofficial)

The end is near
You taste the poison in the air
There's no one here
You can hardly move out of your chair
Encroaching shadows everywhere
Inside your head

As winter cracks
And tells you it will never leave
So don't go back
There's nothing left here to retrieve
Resignation sneers at a reprieve

Black and white the blinding light
Throws reason to the dogs
Misinterpret, find a culprit
And sacrifice them to their gods

The belt is tight
The veins are raised below your skin
An awful sight
All paid up but can't get in
You're either too fat or too thin
No in-between

You slink away
And take it out on someone new
They're in your way
You beat them till they're black and blue
The only thing that you could do

Saris turbans beards suburban
Different faces everywhere
Exotic spices fuel your vices
As you spiral down to your despair

Black and white
Black and white
Black and white
Black and white

Black and white
Black and white
Black and white
Black and white
