Black

[intro] everything was quiet everything was safe black walls black sky black thoughts that never changed i knew every shadow i named every shade nothing could surprise me nothing could break [verse 1] then something slipped in a crack in the void a color i couldn’t name it burned without noise it wasn’t pain but it wasn’t calm it pulled at my chest like it didn’t belong [pre-chorus] i touched it once it stayed in my eyes a stain on the dark i couldn’t deny [chorus] red in the silence bleeding through me warm like a memory i’ve never seen i feel it spreading i feel it breathe the dark is breaking inside of me [verse] then came another cold and alive blue like a distance i couldn’t survive green started growing through empty space something was changing inside my place yellow was laughter sharp in my skull too many feelings too many at once [pre-chorus] they don’t stay still they don’t obey they twist the dark and rewrite the gray [chorus] red turns to screaming blue pulls me deep green won’t stop crawling under my skin yellow is blinding i can’t escape the dark is dying and i’m wide awake [bridge] too many colors too many sounds too many ways to feel this now they’re in my head they’re in my veins they’re tearing apart my perfect gray red blue green yellow red blue green yellow red blue green— [breakdown – mental shatter] i don’t want this i don’t want this i don’t want this give me back the quiet give me back the night [final chorus] color is poison color is noise color is everything i can’t destroy take it away now drain it from me i don’t want feeling i just want to be [outro] it’s gone again the world is still no more red no more blue just black just me …safe
