Stand up straight to push away
The cobwebs and the growing space
Disgraced yourself but not for long
You choke down what you once got wrong
Now suffocate the rising tide
Reactions made to blow your mind
Designs you thought were bullet proof
Were nothing more than misconstrued
So you know we're always waiting for
A metaphor to come
Always chasing down the answers but
Our legs don't seem to run
If you colour me a picture, please
Don't paint it black and white
Everybody's always suffering through
To make it last another night
But that's alright, yeah that's alright
While ego conquers many things
Like marionettes on puppet strings
Each ink stain racing through the dark
In tune for pathways made of sparks
Express yourself but not too loud
No filtered cries still coming out
For every doubt you chose to sink
As looser lips hang on the brink
So you know we're always waiting for
A metaphor to come
Always chasing down the answers but
Our legs don't seem to run
If you colour me a picture, please
Don't paint it black and white
Everybody's always suffering through
To make it last another night
But that's alright, yeah that's alright
As pictures stream from neon screens
You want so bad to be redeemed
But what is life if not a dream?
Five billion words a magazine
It's nothing new but still it's shrewd
As every thought comes out so crude
It always lies in what's been viewed
But now I'll leave it up to you
Yeah now I'll leave it up to you
