Echolyn - Shades (2000 version) lyrics

If birds fly over the rainbow Then why can't I Was it just a shade of gray Or a splash of blue that made up the colors of her eyes You're slipping away Eroded by a sea of forgetfulness Don't forget Half of me still standing on this sinking ship Half of me still looking for answers on this one way trip I was thinking as usual In my own living color Of the gla** that pierced her heart, of the mirror in her eye With my own vivid clarity And a touch of distortion I saw our love thrown out the window I saw a shade close in her eye And a silent hint of Autumn frosts my heart Crystal blue is my hell The absence of her eyes leaves the seasons standing still Even my Juliet with her faded rose...(Do you think of me with a smile) Can't conceal the obvious, crimson...(Full of contempt) Tears that fill my life's cup......(I would start to laugh but I just) Cried from the heart that no longer(Can't find the punch line)... Feels the warmth...(I can't stand the heat) Cried for a heart that no longer...(Hanging around that watering hole) Feels the day by day In tune with my memory her visions Dance across the embers in my mind By night it's the silence that alarms me Her refusal was so quiet That it almost drove me mad! Even when Romeo strikes his...(Do you think of me with a smile) Favorite pose he can't conceal the obvious...(Full of contempt?) Crimson tears that fill my life's cup...(I would start to laugh but I just) Cried from my heart...(Can't find the punch line) (I can't stand the heat) (Hanging around that watering hole) I wasted my words in verbal frustration My diction just coal to heat your sensation The rise and fall of ryhthmatic gyration Just digging for fun in your s**ual foundation The taste of your love just fuels my engine Submerged in the flow of my one night injection The moment explodes in compelling fashion Washed clean my fancy for nocturnal attraction I was swimming here again in my sea of insecurity Just shooting up some flares for your raft of confidence Instead you just threw stones and some weights for my ankles You gave up You never tried for the other side of the rainbow... And so the story goes One heart walks off into the sunset The other walks alone, forever Tuesday... All remains the same And I have to hold your hand I've just got to hold your hand Ccould your hand hold my heart...forever? I say to you now Like I said to you then When a kiss would say it all and it meant forever Now those days of vision have all gone The key to all is love Peace within your heart The price for love is great but patience leads to truth Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Alone with my addiction for your love Standing in the rain laughing at the sunshine Making wishes by the pool...you're there You're there when I'm divided Half of me in tears Half of me still looking for answers for that one way trip
