Colour in the Grey - Charlie J Perry

On your island, there's no weather warning There's no sudden showers There's no certain powers, no All I wanted was to carry you for aching How I told you what I'd do If one day I woke and couldn't find the colour in anything All I thought I was worth Was to mend things I saw breaking And how I chased the glory How I wanted to carry you for aching And how I told you what I'd do If one day I woke and couldn't find the colour in anything You must not be looking You must not be trying like I'm trying I can't always help you But I can listen for the sounds you're making And how I loved your story How I wanted to follow you and paint it And how I told you what I'd do If one day I woke and couldn't find the colour in anything You must not be looking You must not be trying how I'm trying You must not be looking You must not be trying like I'm trying I can't always help you

Circle back to the start Shifting the paradigm Placing us parallel We circle back to suffer at the start again We've been asleep but now we're waking Drifted apart along the way, we let go And it's a risk that we should take, but I know We're getting lost in the grey again They don't want repentance Feed us resentment We're digging down just to condescend We don't want a breakthrough Give us a breakdown Eyes shut, minds closed, and hearts cold We found our voices drowning in the echo We've been asleep but now we're waking Drifted apart along the way, we let go And it's a risk that we should take, but I know We're getting lost in the grey again They don't want repentance Feed us resentment We're digging down just to condescend We don't want a breakthrough Give us a breakdown I think we fell apart But maybe we've had enough Do we still have the heart To take back what we've done Or circle back to the start Circle back to the start Never think you have to be what they want Think for yourself Set it straight and liberate what you've lost Fuck what they want Don't get lost in the grey again Or circle back to the start Don't get lost in the grey again They don't want repentance Feed us resentment We're getting lost in the grey again They don't want repentance Feed us resentment We're digging down just to condescend We don't want a breakthrough Give us a breakdown I think we fell apart But maybe we've had enough Do we still have the heart To take back what we've done Or circle back to the start Fuck what they want

I'm so frustrated Don't deny it Promised life here But I'm blind here This broken sleep My broken dreaming This numbing feeling Stops me seeing Life in colour World's colliding before me (Colour) Thought I'd never be happy It's time that's the one killing me Life in colour Won't forsake this emotion (Colour) Please accept this devotion Your love never tasted so sweet Time it stops for nothing But to love eternally How could you believe in just a man, just a man Like me With nothing selfish Hmmm have I been selfish in my kindness? Help me find this Sweet forgiveness Life in colour World's colliding before me (Colour) Thought I'd never be happy It's time that's the one killing me. Life in colour Won't forsake this emotion (Colour) Please accept this devotion Your love never tasted so sweet. (Colour) Life in colour (Colour)

(I've got it, yeah I've got it, yeah I've got it) I've got a fire in me There's so much I have to see From where I was before To how far I've yet to go I'm gonna raise my hands Gonna take a stand Gonna turn my voice up loud I'm glow in the dark now Glow in the dark now, now, now Glow in the dark now I'm glow in the dark now, now, now, now (I've got it, now, now, now, now, I've got it, yeah I've got it, I've got it) I've got a fire in me It's so bright I can't believe I was ever scared before of things I could not control I'm gonna raise my hands Gonna take a stand Gonna turn my voice up loud I'm glow in the dark now Glow in the dark now, now, now Glow in the dark now I'm glow in the dark now, now, now, now Strange light, follow as it burns Strange life, of unexpected turns You fight on and even if you fall... You get back up again I'm glow in the dark now (Some hearts you'll never win) Glow in the dark now, now, now (And some pain never ends) Glow in the dark now (But these are the shoes you're walkin' in) I'm glow in the dark now, now, now, now (So just get back up again) Now, now, now, now (Get back up again) Now, now, now, now (I've got it, yeah I've got it)
