Lyrics
Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No distinction, no emotion for right or wrong
They tell me only choice will do
No color contrast in their dull morality
The shades of good and bad are through
Situational lies, situational hate
Situational adultery
They mix the black and white so casually
Their ethics seem so vague to me
(Chorus)
And I'm black and white in a grey world
Black and white in a grey world
Black and white in a grey world
It's not so easy finding answers in the shade
Takes some patience, takes some grit
But it's better than throwing all of your colors in the street
What's life without color in it
(Bridge)
Ooh, I feel so out of place
Like I've landed on the moon
You can see it in my face
I don't mind being different
'Cuz I'm different for the truth
