Monochrome

Watching as the night gets older

Imagine that I feel a little less cold

Waiting for the light to die

The darkness, a friend who protects me at night

Only miles from home

The place where I rest, it no longer protects me from you

All these smiles from you

The glow of the neon is slowly revealing what's true

I taste the air as I prepare

Resist my footsteps taking me there

I'm not alone

The night is making plans to carry me back home

My resolve

Is stronger when I picture you in monochrome

Black and white is my flashlight

I use it now to help me fight

Close my eyes

And wake me when the sun's no longer in the skies

Curled like a seashell tossed

I whisper my wishes and then all my thoughts

Older now for trust I'd lost

I wait for the dreaming to bury the cost

Cradle branches twisting

I need the embrace of a more honest place

I'll keep on resisting

The moment I fall to the moment I'm losing my grace

I taste the air as I prepare

Resist my footsteps taking me there

Black and white is my flashlight

I use it now to help me fight

Close my eyes

And wake me when the sun's no longer in the skies

Black and white is my flashlight

I use it now to help me fight

Close my eyes

And wake me when the sun's no longer in the skies
