Colours of the Sunset - Mndsgn & Sofie Royer

Everybody's in their cave Facing what we can't escape Every time we're through Your shit sticks to my shoe Tell me how you're staying sane Haven't hugged a human since the end of May Quarantine with you Our world's a private zoo We're stuck in this cage You're rigging the game I'm folding, my whites have all run blue We're stuck in this cage You're rigging the game I'm folding, your white robe's showing through Tell me, who's more woke than who? Who's more broke than who? Disunited States They want a boogaloo with you He's the Ku Klux Klan, he's the Ku Klux Klan Coo-coo, coo-coo, coo-coo, coo-coo President's your man, he's the Ku Klux Klan Coo-coo, coo-coo We're stuck in this cage You're rigging the game I'm folding my whites have all run blue We're stuck in this cage You're rigging the game I'm folding your white robe's showing through No escape Why'd you leave, why'd you stay? God bless America, hip-hooray The red, the white, black, and blue Love all the colours, all the colours of you All the colours, all the colours of you All the colours, all the colours of you All the colours, all the colours of you All the colours, all the colours of you All the colours, all the colours of you All the colours, all the colours of you All the colours, all the colours of you All the colours, all the colours of you

I speak in grey to match the shade on the inside of my brain I decay when my tongue touches the edges of your name White lies are coloured by context And oh my god, I've lost my innocence I can't believe what you've done to me Can't you see that I'm on my knees? You look at me and the darkness leaves And suddenly I'm covered in the colours of you, ooh Every single hue, ooh Of purple and blue, ooh Covered in the colours of you, ooh You've changed my life into something I no longer recognize And stained my eyes, now they paint in bolder colour when they cry I used to see the world in black and white Now I, I I'm covered in the colours of you, ooh Every single hue, ooh Of purple and blue, ooh Covered in the colours of you, ooh Red, orange, yellow, green, blue Purple, pink and indigo too Red, orange, yellow, green, blue Purple, pink and indigo too Red, orange, yellow, green, blue Red, orange, yellow, green, blue I'm covered in the colours of you, ooh Every single hue, ooh Of purple and blue, ooh Covered in the colours of you, ooh

And there it was, a tall hill Almost a pyramid, cloaked in green grass and cloud shadow Topped by a grey tower Gaunt, noble against the blue sky And there it was, the chalk path Just as she said it would be Rising like a pilgrim's way And there they were, the red roofs of the town below And the two sister hills, Wearyall and Chalice And beyond those the water cuts, glinting amid the fields In the distance were town spires, ridges, dreaming woods The ragged line of the Mendips And when he turned his head to the south and west And craned his eyes as far as he could see There was the sea-haze rising above untold low lands, inlets, bays and harbours The land of sunset And so he walked the chalk path Steeper under foot than it had seemed to the eye And he felt something catch in his pocket He slipped in his hand and drew out her letter (...) The sun beat on his neck and shoulders Still hot in its hour of setting And his shadow, immeasurably long, made the climb ahead of him Reaching the open gate of the tower, long before he did

If you slow dance You can really take time to get to know the rhythm If you slow dance I could really take time to get to know you better If we slow dance We could really take time to get to know each other If we slow dance We could really get down and bust the right moves We can dance slow, oh-whoa We should slow dance Always speedin' through time, we lose sense of the hours All this romance Is as delicate as the pot that holds the flowers Love is a seed Planted in the ground that keeps on growin' And the time we spend Sets the fire in our hearts for light to keep on glowin'
