lyrics

Colors

Colors are a lie
Reflecting mirrors keep pushing that lie
Do you want to know who I am?

Am I an idea you had once, too much to water so you let me die?
Now, I follow you around like an old swinging bell

It’s a tangible hell.
Brought on by my immobility.

It’s a surreal feeling
when you can’t even lose a feeling
when you try

I’m learning something new now. What’s it to you?
Life is gray when you’re young
but feel like you’ve wasted it way too much
playing Nintendo through a sunset sunday afternoon.

It’s a cold, ancient hell
If only I could sing about that hell
I could live in society
my dreams would come alive so well.

Damn this discussion
What do you mean I can’t combust them?
When I already know, I already felt the pieces burn in my hand?

Pray for the F.M. radio.
And all those little spinning, winding waves,
flying over Baghdad, and eating turkey with us during wartime

I’m learning something new now.

I’m almost at the state line.
My head is spinning and I don’t know why.
