Colourless - Acoustic

For a century now I've been waiting
 With a photograph of life I'd painted
 Spent the last year contemplating just what it means to me
 Separated the fact from fiction, now I can finally breathe
 ♪
 Like a sentry guard I've been so patient
 With this photograph of the world I'd painted
 It's colourless
 Humourless
 Hateful by degrees
 Towerin' over the days of sunshine
 It's just a part of me
 ♪
 Now Salvadore's salivating
 Watching the clock and the time I've taken
 If he had it his way he'd go first
 And drink champagne and toast my thirst
 There is a reason why we'll step in front
 And raise my voice I can't
 Hold my tongue
 ♪
 I pick myself up off the pavement
 With a photograph of time I'd painted
 I thought everyone of those pixelations
 Was a language I couldn't speak
 And all those years of remedial readin'
 Had made a fool of me
 It was colourless
 Humourless
 Hateful by degrees
 See the more I learned
 The less I knew
 But now I can finally
 Finally breathe
 It was colourless
 Humourless
 Just a part of me
 Towerin' over the days of sunshine
 So I could hardly see
 It was colourless
 Humourless
 Hateful by degrees
 I thought everyone of those pixelations
 Was a language I couldn't
 Couldn't speak
 ♪
 It was colourless
 Humourless
 An inconvenient part of me
 I separated the fact from fiction
 So that I could finally breathe
 It was colourless
 Humourless
 Hateful by degrees
 Towerin' over the days of sunshine
 So I could hardly see
 Colourless
 Humourless
 Just a part of me
 You see the more I learned
 The less I knew
 Now I can finally
 Finally breathe
