Lyrics

Colours Fade

You take all you have and you leave it behind

In the hope there's more to find

In blind ambition, yeah, in blind faith

You wait for things to change

Hungry for something I can't say

And the colours fade to grey

Too close for comfort but too far to feel

Yeah, it spins the wheel

Walking forwards with no sight

Cos the rhythm leaves you blind

Walking forwards with no sight

Yeah, it's dark as night

Falling through

Falling through

Call out the fracture between two lives

There's one to leave behind

The dream isn't woken so let it forget

The song is different

Hungry for something that I can't say

And the colours fade to grey

Bruises and blisters, they follow the ride

Never turn desire

Walking forwards with no sight

Cos the rhythm leaves you blind

Walking forwards with no sight

Yeah, it's dark as night

Falling through

Falling through

Falling through

Falling through

Falling through

Falling through

Falling through

Colours all fade to grey

Falling through

Colours all fade to grey
