Come on baby lemme give you a name And we'll see if you can find a purpose These faces all look the same And I can guarantee they're worthless Some souls are bought and sold They fold beneath the surface We cannot take their hands They'll hold their gold and curse us
The colour escapes, you know You've seen my heart and it's black as coal It's not the one that I wanted to show
You were built like a light on a stilt And I can see you wilt in silence People stand around waiting for signs They become blind to your vibrance They don't look, put their faith in a book The end result is violence Mind you, that bliss it sits on shit It sits on mindlessness
The colour escapes, you know You've seen my heart and it's black as coal It's not the one that I wanted to show
