The tipping of scales and the balance of time Precede it The ticking of clocks in silent homes Admit it Larks ascending Clash with planes Oh, my soul, what will I do to feed them? Nothing inside, nothing outside Nothing in the kitchen What I'm left with, I don't know Spend all your life Just to find out All that matters Is close to you The people you know The things that you're shown Shape our views The places you've been To follow a dream In shades of blue And in a small side street of contemplation He lost it And in the late night bars of annihilation He lost it The truth is that "it" Wasn't his to lose Spend all your life Just to find out All that matters Is close to you The people you know The things that you're shown Shape our views The places you've been To follow a dream In shades of blue The people you know The things that you're shown Shape our views The places you've been To follow a dream In shades of blue Spend all your life

Why does it seem like Every time I try Life just goes upside down Baby I feel so broken inside Trying not to run out of time I don't know if I can face the light Cause I ain't been living right All these shades of blue Clouding what I see in you I know that you want the truth I think that I'm better alone All these shades of blue They get so damn hard to choose Between what's real and not the truth I think that I'm better alone My own worst enemy Cannot be stopped Too hard for me to change So what you said you loved me But look at me out here frozen Stuck in the cold and i'm faded It's hurting so much And no ones coming to save the day And it's all my fault Baby I feel so broken inside Trying not to run out of time I don't know if I can face the light Cause I ain't been living right All these shades of blue Clouding what I see in you I know that you want the truth I think that I'm better alone All these shades of blue They get so damn hard to choose Between what's real and not the truth I think that I'm better alone
