lyrics

You can run from yourself
You can fake a smile and nod at everyone else
You can turn off the light
You can see in the dark for a while
But you'll get sick of the night
There's no stars here tonight

What are we running from
What have we become
How can you live a life when you're faking fun

For twelve whole years I've been burying away my thoughts and fears
Now I wish you could see inside this prision
Inside these walls I'm living in
Are you guilty too
Keeping up the presence and composure
While you hide from the truth
My god what's happened to you

We feel in colour
See in grayscale
Sick and tired
This views become so stale
Make our way in
Fake our way out
Anytime we feel that it's too much or not enough

It's crazy how we learn to doubt ourselves
How are we supposed to grow when the world is out of touch
Be yourself but not too much
Ignorance has called my bluff
And solitude is not enough

We feel in colour
See in grayscale
Sick and tired
This views become so stale
Make our way in
Fake our way out
Anytime we feel that it's too much or not enough

No matter the time or place
Nothing will ever change and I know that
I can't show that I'm terrified of life
I'd rather run and hide

I feel in colour
See in grayscale
I'm sick and tired
