Ultra

So what, he wasn't worth shit in the end?
You've been through worse and there's only more to all of this than
Chasing highs as you come down low
It's only dark cause you're holding it in
You closed your eyes cause it's scary but it's still brighter than
The road you've been walking before; come, come on home

(You don't) See what it could be for you
Or feel what it could mean for you
(Come, come on home)

Tell me what it's like for you, baby, how in all the hell did you make it?
What's it like along the hillsides of the city that we love?
Tell me that it's mine if I'm aching: a beautiful life in the making
See the sky in ultra, like we never got to see back home

And I... I gotta stay alive to see where I'm
Stay alive to see where I'm going
I gotta stay alive to see where I'm
Stay alive to see the sky in ultramarine

Is the hurt worth your life now, or the kaleidoscope it could be?
Why don't you decide? Why don't you decide?
Misery tastes like dull grey, you never saw the colours while you paint
So why don't you decide? Ain't no suicide

(You don't) See what it could be for you
Or feel what it could mean for you
If anything it's here for you

In ultramarine, the kind of blue I've never seen
Until I packed up all my troubles and I left the 3
And I experienced healing, in air I've never breathed
Before I knew it, slowly realised I have never been-good
Tell me what it is about my hood
The kind of placid living ain't conducive to what healing should
Be that life is all a movie, but it should be a show
And am I really anyone before I'm even gone?
This ain't a journey I can pass by
If life is beckoning I can't be sitting standby or waiting on a man
To come on through and make my loneliness worthwhile
It wasn't up to anybody but you, that's why
You never saw that you a beautiful child
You never realised your worth it shows in your eyes
You always let them beat you down, always choking to cry
Don't try to die without your chance at being alive yet
