lyrics

My colors they do fade away
The sunlight wears them everyday
The things we said when I was yours
Colors, yes
Once smeared over our perfect flesh
That floated in the interstice
Now fading back into the void

All lose their charm
All lose their brilliance
Until you’ve forgotten them quite
They all vanish and crack
In the air and the dust and the light
Oh, I’d give anything to be near you
To look in your eyes
To be by your side
Though I know they’d as soon be forgotten
My colors would fly to you to end our silence

I learn to be nothing
To be no one
Less than a friend to you
I discover what it is to
Be no longer
Wanted or needed by you

I forget, too
I forget your goodbye.
In my dream there is still one final chance
to make things right
You vanish, too
All your faults and your lies
Disappear, leave me trouble ridden

Lord, give me something
Something I can keep
Just one small little piece, just one
That will never change, never fail
Always stay true in itself
Not fade, not ever
Enduring whitewash
Bright as now
All sights and sounds
Not fall apart, nor return to the dark
While I’m forced to stay

Where do they go
Where do all things go?
I once knew that but now I don’t know
All of my colors
All of my words
Down that road just a little more
But you my ghost, you my ghost
You my soul
You my darkness will never know
