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.
