The World In Colour - Bad/Love, Marcus Bridge

What’s the point of slumber if I’m constantly awake?

Never found the closure to rest my head and stay away

What if I wanted to go, bury this just for the show?

What if I wanted to know, what it takes to save this?

They say to see the world in colour is to truly paint a life

Never seem to mark the canvas, I’ve only seen in black and white

Maybe I could be like you or float around unseen

Never asked to be a burden but you pressed and didn’t leave

Although the time is marching on I never seem to learn that hope doesn’t put

out the flame it only makes it burn

What if I wanted to go, bury this just for the show?

What if I wanted to know, what it takes to say this?

They say to see the world in colour is to truly paint a life

Never seem to mark the canvas, I’ve only seen in black and white

I don’t want you to fix me or tell me that I’m dreaming, I just want you to

hear me

I’m speaking volumes till my lungs give way

The message lingers, are you listening?

They say to see the world in colour is to truly paint a life

Never seem to mark the canvas, I’ve only seen in black and white
