The day I met you was a slippery slope You let go of my hand on the tightrope On my knees you were not my best decision But I refuse to feel regret You know I love a liar Don’t know where I’d be now if I’d learned Now you’re caught up in the crossfire But I don’t care - You made your bed And the only colour I can see is red Walked me down that lonely road again You tell me maybe we can still be friends But I don’t need your rainbow – you stole the colours anyway Wasted my time – go find your next mistake You know I love a liar Don’t know where I’d be now if I’d learned Now you’re caught up in the crossfire But I don’t care - You made your bed And the only colour I can see is red You know you’ve turned me inside out I should have known. When will I learn? I wish I’d learned And just the thought of going nowhere Is enough to get me on my feet Now I’m complete You know I love a liar Don’t know where I’d be now if I’d learned Now you’re caught up in the crossfire But I don’t care You made your bed And the only colour I can see is red

Indigo – Here we go Here we go – Indigo Keep all your blue skies Who cares if your blood is red?

Stuck inside an old TV Colours are strangers to me Why can I never see a rainbow? Stop telling me the rose is red Or the sky is blue above our head The world to me looks oh so dead Can’t see the flame glow In a monochrome just black and white In a monochrome colours are out of sight In a monochrome world trapped in the night In my monochrome world Gallery with pictures that turn away A nursery where kids refuse to play A pallet where all the paints are grey It’s a punishment nobody can take In my monochrome world

The house of us pinning the walls with out memories Taking a trip down memory lane To a safe place that we call home Ready for the colours to be added to our scale I wanna show you tomorrow You make me feel like home Cover up my grey with colours from your rainbow I never feel alone These walls of ours The Colours of our past Our shadows dance if front Of the bright yellow from the sun As we wait for the colours to be added to our scale I wanna show you tomorrow You make me feel like home Cover up my grey with colours from your rainbow I never feel alone

Are we friends or enemies? Cos it’s confusing Talkin’ behind my back like I don’t notice I think you’re crazy Of all people – why me? And I don’t know why you hate me And I don’t know why only me Are you just – green? Are you just – green? How come you’re jealous of me? How come you’re Making fun of how I look When you know about not having Enough time in the mornings And I don’t know why you hate me And I don’t know why only me Are you just – green? Are you just – green? How come you’re jealous of me? I think you should think about the positives in your life There’s so much more than you know And I know not ev’ryone’s gonna like each other But it doesn’t mean you have to put each other down And I don’t know why you hate me And I don’t know why only me Are you just – green? Are you just – green? How come you’re jealous of me?

Everywhere you look it’s all the same White walls that ask us all our names We’re all different inside and out Can’t be ourselves if we’re filled with doubt Have to be what’s expected Got to do as we’re directed Every splash of colour’s been destroyed Nothing left to be enjoyed Listen can’t you see Those white walls don’t represent me We’re all special in our way We’re all counting down the days Listen can’t you see Those white walls don’t represent me We’re all special in our way We’re all counting down the days No chance to follow dreams Left tearing at all the seams With pressure the past’s not gonna last Better make a change fast Only at the beginning Not even started living Trapped in this crowded cell No way to express ourselves Listen can’t you see Those white walls don’t represent me We’re all special in our way We’re all counting down the days Listen can’t you see Those white walls don’t represent me We’re all special in our way We’re all counting down the days So make a stand change the way of the land Paint the walls make them come to life So make a stand change the way of the land Before all the colours have died

Day by day my life is slow – into the darkness the further I go Surrounded by blindness I can’t see - All I hear is your voice calling me The sun is rising like a golden eye - Watching me as I drive by The silver sunrise smooth as the sea - The lonesome highway is where I’ll be Infected by loneliness the love I seek - Feeling afraid or am I just weak Love is the cure I can’t have – Feeling blue or am I going mad Trapped, running in a sense of decay - Left in a world of chaos and dismay Left to determine the lies from the truth – I’ve hit rock bottom I’ve had them highway blues Silver sunrise calling me – Be the man I want to be Silver sunrise calling me – I’ll be back you wait and see Silver sunrise I’m on my way Drivin’ down the dark and lonesome highway Spiralling out, out of control - Too high on sadness to really know Always and forever on the run – That’s the way it goes when you’re the son-of-a-gun No bullets left for me to shoot - The highway’s always chasing you My gun is empty like my soul – Looking for answers, got nowhere to go Give me shelter from the blistering heat – At the bottom of the bottle is the answer I seek Drunk on bliss but deep down in Hell – Escaping the backfires ain’t going so well Listen closely you can hear the screams of the innocents are?? being brought down to their knees The silver sunrise smooth as the sea - The lonesome highway is where I’ll be Silver sunrise calling me – Be the man I want to be Silver sunrise calling me – I’ll be back you wait and see Silver sunrise I’m on my way Drivin’ back down the dark and lonesome highway Silver sunrise is what I need because I’m trapped in Hell too tired to plead Just followin’ the eagle out onto the sands - Putting my live in the highway’s hands Silver sunrise escaping my past - Driving home at long long last Driving back out to the silver sun cos my time out on the lonesome highway is done Silver sunrise calling me – Being the man I want to be Silver sunrise calling me – Now in your arms just wait and see Silver sunrise lose the pain – Leave the darkness, finally sane Silver sunrise, my sins are gone – Now forgiven I’m movin’ on Silver sunrise I’m on my way I’m drivin’ back down the dark and lonesome highway
