Colorblind

And it's not just a game
You can't throw me away
I put all I had on the line
And I give and you take
And I played the high stakes
I've won and I've lost
But, I'm fine

Hear me say I'll rise up 'til the end
Hear me say I'll stand up for my friends
And I crash to the ground
And it's just my own sound
I drop in the blink of an eye
I'm colorblind

And your milky way fight
Won't stop my delight
You keep me and lock me away
And it's dark and it's bright
It's your colorful pride that kept me here 9000 days

Hear me say I'll see the sky again
Hear me say I'll die for you my friend
There's a noise in the crowd
But it's just my own shout
I stumble I fall and I pray

Hear you say your eyes see green again
In the end we'll lift our golden hands
Yes, we'll spark, you and I
We'll be colorblind
And these are the lives we gave

Hear me say I'll rise up 'til the end
Hear me say that I'll stand beside my friends
I won't stay on the floor
I will settle the score
I’ll stumble I’ll fall and I’ll pray

Hear me say it's time we stopped our hate
Eye to eye we see a different fate
Yes we we've conquered the war
With love at the core
I stumble I fall, but I'll stay
Colorblind

If I Walk Away

Lately, I've been the quiet one
Waiting searching the lines of songs you played for me.
Sailing into the misty air,
Fading bound for I don't know where,
When I'm there I'll see.

And if I walk away
Please follow me,
If I walk away,
Please follow me.

Weightless drifting through stars I got
Faithless woke in the dark and I made this from my dream.
Play me all your sweet rhymes
Recreate me, now comes the time when I'll need your truth to see.

So I if I walk away,
Please follow me,
If I walk away,
Please follow me.

Walk away
Let the fear fall away.
Into the fire you made
Scarlet and gold
Walk away
Head for the light of day
Follow a brighter day,
Out of the cold and dark.
Down to the one bright spark
Futures that all might start
Someday

So if I walk away
Please follow me,
If I walk away,
Please follow me.

Fragments shells of a long ago lifetime
Faces that once were mine
Thrown down by the sea

So if I walk away,
Please follow me,
If I walk away,
Please follow me.
