The Black Lyrics
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? Somethings turning inside of me
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!)
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
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
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!)
Speak to me
Black is all that I see
Speak to me
You used to be all that I needed
I need to cut you out
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
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? Somethings turning inside of me
You made my world come crashing down around me (I need to cut you out!)
Black is all that I see
Speak to me
You used to be all that I needed
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
You made my world come crashing down around me (I need to cut you out!)
Black is all that I see
Speak to me
You used to be all that I needed
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

I think what he's talking about is a relationship that turned toxic. He's talking about how this person has put him in such a low place and that even though he's tried to get this person to stay he's now starting to realize it's no longer good to try to make an effort in getting them to stay like where he says, " You used to be all that I needed" and "Oh God I wish you'd just speak to me." It sounds like they had problems in their relationship and instead of telling him, they left him. He also thought that he can still have them in their life as a friend but he realized that they were doing more harm than good and that's why he said, " I need to cut you out." Also, that this person and him used to be in such a great relationship but that's now just turned toxic. So, "The Black" being the sadness and emotional problems caused by the toxicity of the relationship that the person has caused him.
But I also think that when he says, " Don't leave me here." and "I need you around, ah," I feel like he in a way knows that even though the person is toxic that part of them is still there with him and it's making it hard for him to let go of them. It seems like he still loves them but he knows they're bad for him.
