Black Shades
All this mess inside
Your own head
It's slowly filling up
The fake smile you wear
In your face
Is all worn out
Feeling all alone
You're missing out
Your safe and sound
You're starting to feel
How you're facade
Is tearing up
You held on so long
That you just forgot
What it felt like before
The way you dyed
This mask of yourself
Is beginning to slowly wash out
Running colours that contour your face
Light rays disperse through your surface
Portraits you paint of distorted shapes
In shades of the black from when you suffocated
The reflection shows
Something unknown
You ask yourself
What happened with
All the times that you felt alive
You can't bare the look
Of this figure that
Is staring back at you
And you once again feel this loneliness
Growing big in you
Running colours that contour your face
Light rays disperse through your surface
Portraits you paint of distorted shapes
In shades of the black from when you suffocated
Your lines are trembling and blurring out
Trying to cover it up
When it's fading out
You're breaking the mirror
Cracked glass reminds you
Of your shattered self inside
And you paint in black
Oh you paint in black
Don't you paint in black
Oh you paint in
Running colours that contour your face
Light rays disperse through your surface
Portraits you paint of distorted shapes
In shades of the black from when you suffocated
Your own head
It's slowly filling up
The fake smile you wear
In your face
Is all worn out
Feeling all alone
You're missing out
Your safe and sound
You're starting to feel
How you're facade
Is tearing up
You held on so long
That you just forgot
What it felt like before
The way you dyed
This mask of yourself
Is beginning to slowly wash out
Running colours that contour your face
Light rays disperse through your surface
Portraits you paint of distorted shapes
In shades of the black from when you suffocated
The reflection shows
Something unknown
You ask yourself
What happened with
All the times that you felt alive
You can't bare the look
Of this figure that
Is staring back at you
And you once again feel this loneliness
Growing big in you
Running colours that contour your face
Light rays disperse through your surface
Portraits you paint of distorted shapes
In shades of the black from when you suffocated
Your lines are trembling and blurring out
Trying to cover it up
When it's fading out
You're breaking the mirror
Cracked glass reminds you
Of your shattered self inside
And you paint in black
Oh you paint in black
Don't you paint in black
Oh you paint in
Running colours that contour your face
Light rays disperse through your surface
Portraits you paint of distorted shapes
In shades of the black from when you suffocated
