Between Black & White

There are so many paths in life, but only one to follow

and if you choose another course, you'll be banished, and cursed in sorrow

all my life I have been told that wherever I may go

I must never try to stand out - I am not as good as them

We fear our inner selves

Where did we go wrong?

Wake up, they're never gonna see

they go on, and on, and on

to the point where they can't control their inner selves

when the daylight turn to shades of grey

when the evening sun just fades away

in the deck of the night there is no colored light

are we left with black and white

Sometimes I wonder if they'll always be the same

will they ever open their eyes, or am I hoping in vain?

I have tried to understand the purpose of their ways,

but it made the color fade away

We fear our inner selves

Where did we go wrong?

Wake up, they're never gonna see

they go on, and on, and on

to the point where they can't control their inner selves

when the daylight turn to shades of grey

when the evening sun just fades away

in the deck of the night there is no colored light

are we left with black and white

I see them coming with their heads soaked in blood

They will never be wiser,

if they don't turn their heads

they must try another way

I've been a victim of forsaken minds

I've been forced down on my knees

I've been trapped between the colors they see

And now I will break free

Wake up, they're never gonna see

they go on, and on, and on

to the point where they can't control their inner selves

when the daylight turn to shades of grey

when the evening sun just fades away

in the deck of the night there is no colored light

are we left with black and white
