about

We're all born with a heartbeat, we're all born with a rhythm. But as years go by we've forgotten how to live a little on the wild side. We are walking around with our eyes wide shut but you stop questioning when everyone around you is doing the same. So say what you've got to say. Use the words you've learned, learn new ones. Let others walk barefooted through the dunes of your mind and marvel at the patterns in the sand. Or else you'll fade out and your colours will be the first thing to go.

lyrics

LYRICS
change well it had to come
it’s the only thing that I’ve been dreaming of
and oh look at how we run
the colours from the barrel of a gun
bleeding into one
pain will it feel the same
time and time and time and time again
it’s a shame what we’re living in
who cares about the colour of our skin
it’s what lies within

instrumental

standing on the edge
of something I believed in
saw the colours fade but not lost
hold it down you see the colours move in sound
dancing round and round and round and round
the colours are bleeding out
the colours are bleeding out
the colours are bleeding out
the colours are bleeding out
