lyrics

It's a home,
though monochrome,
when the years wipe over
our undertone.
It's a cradle,
so unstable,
as the legs unrest
on our stones.
"Fixed",
don't get it mixed now,
while the years undo our tricks.
Under our home,
no-monochrome,
color comes.
Color comes and goes.

It's a haze,
It's comical.
A picture perfect cheerful embrace.
It's a crack,
ironically a trap,
where everything falls out of its place.
Goodbye, I'll wait for the paint to dry,
wait for a bluer sky,
wait for a home.
Under my throne,
the color comes,
the better ones,
we'll bite our tongues.

Color comes and goes.
Wait until it shows now.
Just take the forever-fountain glow.
Let the color, come and grow.

It's a home,
still monochrome,
after the years wiped over
our undertone.
Still a cradle,
so unstable,
as the legs unrest
on our stones.
Unfixable,
it seems so elliptical.
feels like a wrecking ball,
circling our dome.
over this home,
so monochrome.
Will color come?
Is tomorrow done?
Will we ever love as well as we bite our tongue?
