Technicolor

Lately I've been dreaming' Waking up and screaming' At the idea of sinkin' In that lake of fire, beneath my bed I fear the television And this horrible suspicion That when it's on Another rockstar digs their grave With some famous drug addiction The American prescription to the fame Back before this paranoia All this spitting' poison When MTV, just used to be Something worth recording Broke on endless summers Running blind and undercover Years away But back when we were younger It's just a blur, seen through technicolor I've seen the devil dancin' Underneath the skin Of those I love the most A few of my favorite friends They just beg me for the water But I leave em' out for slaughter In the end I got bruises on my bones From years of sticks and stones And I use abuse to push me Instead of leaving me alone I can't help this burnin' fever That just haunts me like a creature In the night Back before this paranoia All this spitting' poison When MTV, just used to be Something worth recording Broke on endless summers Running blind and undercover Years away But back when we were younger It's just a blur, seen through technicolor Lately, I've been dreamin' Waking up and bleedin' This bitter blood That beats me back to the better side of reason
