Colours Fading Songtext
von Northern Cross

Wake up feeling like a new day needs me
But the clock reads three
And I slump back into my bed
Motivation feeds the hungry mind
So I guess starving tells me
Something I knew all along

Spend the day reflecting my mistakes
In the end it means nothing
If I can′t pursue my dreams
Fall asleep into a darker place
Where my mind shuts off for the day
And recollects in peace

Lie awake while the colours fade away
The truth is I never changed
Black to white is still grey
Lie awake while the colours fade


Living everyday cast in shadow
Living in contempt, rash and shallow
Colours splash violently, aberrant, suddenly
Mask your eyes silently, from the truth, blissfully
Ignorance born from chained emotions
Weakness born from fear of false notions
Colours splash violently, aberrant, suddenly
Mask your eyes silently, colours fading

Lie awake while the colours fade away
The truth is I never changed
Black to white is still grey
Lie awake while the colours fade

Living everyday cast in shadow
Living in contempt, rash and shallow
Colours splash violently, aberrant, suddenly
Mask your eyes silently, from the truth, blissfully
Ignorance born from chained emotions
Weakness born from fear of false notions
Colours splash violently, aberrant, suddenly
Mask your eyes silently, colours fading
