Lyrics

COLORBLIND

You run away into a phrase
Into a place that no one knows
And on a corner waits your life
And in your darkened days
It comes out bangin’ face, nowhere to go
Until you carve away your pride

Talk that walk inside your head
Talk that walk until you’re dead
And you wonder why
No one will take your side

You pull the wool over their eyes
& you make up what you can’t be
I don’t know why you can’t just be yourself
You’re on a Technicolor ride

Talk that walk inside your head
Talk that walk until you’re dead
And you wonder why
No one will take your side
Talk that walk, talk that walk
You’ll believe your hype
Talk that walk, talk and talk
‘til you cross the line

Wrong, right, it’s an oversight
All is fine ‘til your conscience cries:
I don’t like what I am
So I will make it up as I go on & on
And I will probably be this way until I’m gone
Who am I?
I’m a fake, I run from life
List the things that I will never do, it’s long
So I will make things up as I go along
What am I?
I’m colorblind

So who am I?
I’m not a fake, I’m just afraid
So I will talk myself up until I feel strong
And make the list of things I’ll never do, it’s long
Why do I always take the same way out?

And you wonder why
No one will take your side
Talk that walk, talk that walk
You’ll believe your hype
Talk that walk, talk and talk
‘til you cross the line

It’s in the eyes
It’s in your sight
It’s not in mine
‘cause I’m not blind
