What's the point of slumber if I'm constantly awake?
Never found the closure to rest my head and stay away

What if I wanted to go, bury this just for the show?
What if I wanted to know, what it takes to save this?

They say to see the world in colour is to truly paint a life
Never seem to mark the canvas, I've only seen in black and white

Maybe I could be like you or float around unseen
Never asked to be a burden, but you pressed and didn't leave
Although the time is marching on, I never seem to learn
That hope doesn't put out the flame it only makes it burn

What if I wanted to go, bury this just for the show?
What if I wanted to know, what it takes to say this?

They say to see the world in colour is to truly paint a life
Never seem to mark the canvas, I've only seen in black and white

I don't want you to fix me or tell me that I'm dreaming, I just want you to hear me
I'm speaking volumes till my lungs give way
The message lingers, are you listening?

They say to see the world in colour is to truly paint a life
Never seem to mark the canvas, I've only seen in black and white
