Colourless - Headstones

For a century now I’ve been waiting

With a photograph of life I’d painted

Spent the last year contemplating just what it means to me

Seperated fact from fiction now I can finally breathe

Like a sentry guard I’ve been so patient

With this photograph of the world I’d painted

It’s colourless

Humourless

Hateful by degrees

Towerin' over the days of sunshine

It’s just a part of me

Now Salvadore’s salivating

Watching the clock and the time I’ve taken

If he had it his way he’d go first

And drink champagne and toast my thirst

There is a reason why we’ll step in front

And raise my voice I can’t

Hold my tongue

I pick myself up off the pavement

With a photograph of time I’d painted

I thought everyone of those pixelations

Was a language I couldn’t speak

And all those years of remedial readin'

Had made a fool of me

It was colourless

Humourless

Hateful by degrees

See the more I learned

The less I knew

But now I can finally

Finally breathe

It was colourless

Humourless

Just a part of me

Towerin' over the days of sunshine

So I could hardly see

It was colourless

Humourless

Hateful by degrees

I thought everyone of those pixelations

Was a language I couldn’t

Couldn’t speak

It was colourless

Humourless

An inconvenient part of me

I seperated fact from fiction

So that I could finally breathe

It was colourless

Humourless

Hateful by degrees

Towerin' over the days of sunshine

So I could hardly see

Colourless

Humourless

Just a part of me

The more I learned

The less I knew

Now I can finally

Finally breathe
