Monochrome

Watching as the night gets older
Imagine that I feel a little less cold
Waiting for the light to die
The darkness, a friend who protects me at night
Only miles from home
The place where I rest, it no longer protects me from you
All these smiles from you
The glow of the neon is slowly revealing what's true

I taste the air as I prepare
Resist my footsteps taking me there

I’m not alone
The night is making plans to carry me back home
My resolve
Is stronger when I picture you in monochrome
Black and white is my flashlight
I use it now to help me fight
Close my eyes
And wake me when the sun's no longer in the skies

Curled like a seashell tossed
I whisper my wishes and then all my thoughts
Older now for trust I'd lost
I wait for the dreaming to bury the cost
Cradle branches twisting
I need the embrace of a more honest place
I’ll keep on resisting
The moment I fall to the moment I'm losing my grace

I taste the air as I prepare
Resist my footsteps taking me there

Black and white is my flashlight
I use it now to help me fight
Close my eyes
And wake me when the sun's no longer in the skies

Black and white is my flashlight
I use it now to help me fight
Close my eyes
And wake me when the sun's no longer in the skies
