In Black and White
I'm a doorman at my death row
You faceless foe of heart
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow
White feather in the tar
A tear stain on your frozen face
A life in black and white
You slaughtered my soul again
Tried my best to be worth
Your two realities
You're breaking my heart again
To squeeze out a rhyme
I bid you farewell
Stupidity
Ignorance - Leave a light on for the blind
Now I will hit you where it hurts
Take what is rightfully mine
I need a sign
That you're worth fighting for
Winning or losing, alone
I am only a pawn
I'm tired of pleasing you
Discolored this emptiness
Wrapped in a scheme
I delayed my dreams to see
Who blinded your eyes
From things that are real
For me
I believe in the taste of bitter sweet
Dying fountains full of stories untold
After a history of "losses"
Attained the victory where it occurred
Lips so cold
The final testing ground for beautiful words
Diving in the seas of sin
Without knowing where lies the bottom
Idle moments spawned you idle people
No morality, no soul
Sabotage or a fatal mistake?
Scandal born, a new race
Unauthorized use, not stealing?
We've no rights, just passion and rage
People you know, on your side, touching concern
Stand on a chair and scream as the tables turn
Take a bow, take the blame
Soon you'll wake up screaming your nightmare's name
Now I will hit you where it hurts
Take what is rightfully mine
I need a sign
That you're worth fighting for
Winning or losing, alone
I am only a pawn
People
People you know, on your side, touching concern
Stand on a chair and scream as the tables turn
Always a minute too late, now feel the burn
Wake up, friend, you're screaming the name of
The doorman of my death row
You faceless foe of the heart
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow
White feather in the tar
Tear stains on my frozen face
Follow the wicked trail
If you wish you see the sum of all my fears
In many shades of gray
You'll see
Your dreams in black and white
Nightmares in black and white
Sweet dreams in black and white
Your life is black and white
You faceless foe of heart
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow
White feather in the tar
A tear stain on your frozen face
A life in black and white
You slaughtered my soul again
Tried my best to be worth
Your two realities
You're breaking my heart again
To squeeze out a rhyme
I bid you farewell
Stupidity
Ignorance - Leave a light on for the blind
Now I will hit you where it hurts
Take what is rightfully mine
I need a sign
That you're worth fighting for
Winning or losing, alone
I am only a pawn
I'm tired of pleasing you
Discolored this emptiness
Wrapped in a scheme
I delayed my dreams to see
Who blinded your eyes
From things that are real
For me
I believe in the taste of bitter sweet
Dying fountains full of stories untold
After a history of "losses"
Attained the victory where it occurred
Lips so cold
The final testing ground for beautiful words
Diving in the seas of sin
Without knowing where lies the bottom
Idle moments spawned you idle people

Your dreams in black and white
Nightmares in black and white
Sweet dreams in black and white
Your life is black and white
