"Monochrome Home"

The city that I live lit up in lights
The city that I've been in my whole life
Most of it a fight, most of it not right
A home to some, but I can't call it mine

So I hang up the coat on the back of a chair
And my mind drifts off to a place somewhere
Thinking this could be the start of the rest of it
When I want something more, so desperate

[chorus]
Feels like another life
And I'm living outside of mine
A plain filled with colored lights
But with nothing else there inside
My mind caught up
In midnight wishes
But it's a different world
And I can't forget this

The places that I've gone, all memories
Like nothing really real inside of me
When I've got scars to prove, got scars that bleed
But to me, the past feels like it's make-believe

And so I think of hope, one that I once had
And I think of peace, if I can get it back
Wondering why I always settle for the counterfeit
When I want something more, so desperate

[chorus]
Feels like another life
And I'm living outside of mine
A plain filled with colored lights
That are dead on the inside
And the colors that I wanna see
Are all black and white to me
When the monochrome starts to look like home
I think it's time to leave

Yeah, I think it's time to leave
Yeah I think it's time
I think it's time

Feels like a moment's time
Gone in the blink of an eye
Years wasted on holding pride
That I don't want to multiply
And I don't want to see the sun
Until I believe in the sunlight
Oh, I want to make it right
Bring the dead tones back to life
Oh, I want to make it right
Bring these dead leaves back to life
