"Monochrome Scene"

My frayed cuffs are dragging


How far am I gonna walk today?

All the dreams crammed into my pocket

Fell apart so easily


I gripped them so tightly in my small palms

The feelings I once turned to lead stones

So I could get by in this world as a shell of myself

The colorless world of status


The tranquility of night clings to the looming moon

The wind dies down


My hands outstretched towards the sky in prayer

“So I can reach you”

The monochrome-colored sketch of the future

That scene will get better in time


The lost colors and

All the colors I'm bound to lose and

The vivid colors that burn inside me

Now, I'll set them free


My hands outstretched towards the sky in prayer

“So I can reach you”

The monochrome-colored sketch of the future

That scene will get better in time


I'll smash the sky with the weight of my prayer

“Pin it all on tomorrow”

The monochrome scene painted over our future

Now, finish dyeing it
