We cut the truth so clear
Then everything turns black and white
We feel the pain so near
Pushed back into the light
Change the focus from me to you
Vulnerable as I stand
The silence that I hold within
Becomes my only friend

These thoughts replay in my mind
(Through shades of gray)
The storm rages on
As colors collide
In a fusion of what I see
And what I know
No sense discerns
The patterns behind my eyes

The color of beauty fades
As everything turns black and white
Broken from reality
Where everything makes sense
Change the focus from me to you
I descend to a higher place
The picture I've painted inside my mind
Destroyed as it leaves my lips

These thoughts replay in my mind
(Through shades of gray)
The storm rages on
As colors collide
In a fusion of what I see
And what I know
No sense discerns
The patterns behind my eyes
