The Colour Escapes

Come on baby lemme give you a name

And we'll see if you can find a purpose

These faces all look the same

And I can guarantee they're worthless

Some souls are bought and sold

They fold beneath the surface

We cannot take their hands

They'll hold their gold and curse us

The colour escapes, you know

You've seen my heart and it's black as coal

It's not the one that I wanted to show

The colour escapes, you know

You've seen my heart and it's black as coal

It's not the one that I wanted to show

You were built like a light on a stilt

And I can see you wilt in silence

People stand around waiting for signs

They become blind to your vibrance

They don't look, put their faith in a book

The end result is violence

Mind you, that bliss it sits on shit

It sits on mindlessness

The colour escapes, you know

You've seen my heart and it's black as coal

It's not the one that I wanted to show

The colour escapes, you know

You've seen my heart and it's black as coal

It's not the one that I wanted to show
