The Colour Escapes

Come on baby lemme give you a name
 And we'll see if you can find a purpose
 These faces all look the same
 And I can guarantee they're worthless
 Some souls are bought and sold
 They fold beneath the surface
 We cannot take their hands
 They'll hold their gold and curse us
 The colour escapes, you know
 You've seen my heart and it's black as coal
 It's not the one that I wanted to show
 You were built like a light on a stilt
 And I can see you wilt in silence
 People stand around waiting for signs
 They become blind to your vibrance
 They don't look, put their faith in a book
 The end result is violence
 Mind you, that bliss it sits on shit
 It sits on mindlessness
 The colour escapes, you know
 You've seen my heart and it's black as coal
 It's not the one that I wanted to show
