lyrics

I couldn’t see myself caught in the distance, empty but awake, and stuck in my ways. I wouldn’t know my place even if all of my flaws weren’t there in front of my face. [I am] empty but awake. I blend in with the walls, covered in paint just to hide all my flaws. Yellow to prove my fear, and gray to make everything seem unclear. Blue as a wave that’s kicking up the sand, and wreaking a havoc with both of my hands. I’ve known it all my life while the world passes by. Strung out in pieces, cut me alive. Heart left in shambles and left out to dry. I’m shaken, yet frozen out in space. I’m a wretched fever whose hide is too tough to break. The world is encompassing all of my fears and all of my dreams and everything. I cannot shake it, even if it’s true. I’ll keep you guessing that’s just what I do. I’m purple to mask my humble estate, and white to make everything seem okay. Green in my mindset, a stone on a hill that’s privileged to be there as time stands still. There’s writing on the walls and colors fade and sooner or later I’m getting torn apart.
