Monochrome

Your aura echoes through
Unwavering in the distant blue
Without a fear of failing
But I'm so afraid of failing you

But I'm so afraid of failing you

Born above the clouds to the tops of trees
Arose beyond the city's reach at the edge of discovery

Rise from your slumber woken nova
Before you lose yourself in a new coma

I had never seen the night
I'd never seen the stars
Exhale the blue light
Bathed in cluttered skies
In search of the dark

Wandering with no intention
If only for a fraction of a second
Do you recall when the distance between us
Felt like miles but was only inches?
Back when our hearts were young
Back when we shared the same sun
Back before this perfect picture's verdant rendering came undone

Ascend to heights that weren't meant for these wings
Distant lights that I could never reach
Lost in the ancient ruins
Lost in the constellations
Hidden by the monochrome
Shrouding the higher dimensional

I was one
With ending and beginning
I was only one
Just an illusion in the distance
Stained by the sun
Shrouding the higher dimensional
And smoke signals
Hidden by the monochrome

Ascend to heights that weren't meant for these wings
Distant lights that I could never reach
Lost in the ancient ruins
Lost in the constellations
Hidden by the monochrome
Shrouding the higher dimensional

(Shrouding the higher dimensional)

(Hidden by the monochrome)
(Shrouding the higher dimensional)
(Hidden by the monochrome)
(Shrouding the higher dimensional)
(Hidden by the monochrome)
(Shrouding the higher dimensional)
(Hidden by the monochrome)
(Hidden by the monochrome)

So far from the shore
I can't keep the constellations straight anymore
You lifted the monochrome
That covered my eyes and kept me all alone in the world

(Hidden by the monochrome)
(Shrouding the higher dimensional)
(Hidden by the monochrome)
(Hidden by the monochrome)
