The Black Market Lyrics

Cover art for The Black Market lyrics by Rise Against

A breakup in a song is a typical kind of story behind many songs. For example taylor swift. Although, in this case Rise Against made this song a delight to listen to, and think about what the story is behind this song. It is about a breakup, because "emptiness is growing so old" he misses her and feels incomplete without her. So, he has suicidal thoughts, "colors used to wash right out" is the blood stained clothes that he has due to self harm.
