The Color of Sound

Won't you give me a green light?
I feel like my heart is unraveling
Why do I have to be a warrior?
I don't even wanna hold a sword
Sometimes you leave me no choice

There is beauty in limits
It's the flip side of freedom
It's like the color of sound
When you cannot hear or see
When you smile I see black all around you
It seems like someone has died
Or you want to go over to the other side
Well who am I to stop you?

I am saying good-bye to another orange day
I think I'm ready to carve out my own way
We have the whole world in front of us
But we keep repeating history
Sometimes you leave me no choice

There is beauty in limits
It's the flip side of freedom
It's like the color of sound
When you cannot hear or see
When you smile I see black all around you
It seems like someone has died
Or you want to go over to the other side
Well who am I to stop you?

It's just a series of abstract thoughts
I thought if we put them all down together
We might have something special
It seems like a symphony of madness
I can't stop seeing your face in places
Where my eyes dare not look
And in the absence of red
I see the color that gets me arrested

In the absence of red
I see the color that gets me arrested.
