Colourblind

[Verse 1]
Back where I come from
No one would judge you by your skin
We learn when we are young
Someone's colours lie within
Sounds like a good thing, could've been
Before we noticed, it got twisted
We ripped that beauty out

[Chorus]
Watching as the sun would rise, up all night
To burn the colour from my eyes
Thinking like a child, spent my life wishing I
Could be colourblind
Could be colourblind

[Verse 2]
"Where do you come from?"
The question that terrorised my youth
We learned to play dumb
To try to skirt around the dangerous truth
Round where I should live, ignorance
Could get you killed if you're not listening
You'd better waken up
Born in the old sins inherited
With shoes to fill from fathers twisted
By all that they've been through

[Chorus]
Watching as the sun would rise, up all night
To burn the colour from my eyes
Thinking like a child, spent my life wishing I
Could be colourblind
Could be colourblind

[Bridge]
Wrapped up in our father's fight, justified
By everything before our time
We don't draw the lines, predefined, in for life
And no one's colourblind
No one's colourblind

[Chorus]
Watching as the sun would rise, up all night
To burn the colour from my eyes
Thinking like a child, spent my life wishing I
Could be colourblind
Could be colourblind
Could be colourblind
