Lyrics Our Colors - A Tragedy in Progress

Our Colors

First a number, then a name
Then for the rest of your life it’s the same thing
Lay your hands on me, let me receive
If we could only see the world through Jonas' eyes
Our colors would erase the emptiness inside
If we could only see the world through Jonas' eyes
Allow ourselves to feel the things we’ve learned to hide
Watching and waiting
Assigning each a rating
How have they chosen me?
Successor to a mentor
I’m not sure what I’m in for
Let’s start, first memory
Lay your hands on me — and let me receive!
If we could only see the world through Jonas' eyes
Our colors would erase the emptiness inside
If we could only see the world through Jonas' eyes
Allow ourselves to feel the things we’ve learned to hide
Showing me beauty, knowing to save the misery
Quit sparing me
In this town, emotions
Run dry, they’ve never felt anything
Do you think we can set them free?
My absence is the only way
You’ll find your peace
I’ve found release
First a number, then a name
Then for the rest of your life it’s the same thing
Lay your hands on me — and let me receive!
