Roam
Black Milk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know how it came to be but now it's right here
and I believe that I can't make it go away
I can't start again so ...
this shame becomes a part of me
and once again it's plain to see

I will roam just as long somebody will forgive
this entropy that follows me

I beg you bless this dark load

when it's too late to change events and I start to grieve and I realize
there is nothing left to do now
I can't start again so ...
the blackbooks consequence is due
and once again I can see through ...

I will roam just as long somebody will forgive
this entropy that follows me
I beg you bless this dark load

when I rise to penetrate the iron sky - this time I've gone too far
and I try to see the world through everybody's eyes
everybody's eyes ...

I will roam just as long somebody will forgive
this entropy that follows me
I beg you bless this dark load

I will roam and struggle on my own 'till someone will forgive

this entropy that follows me
I beg you bless this dark load
