Four Colors

from Scarlet Road by Thannos

/

about

There's a reason the sun sets
A certain time
And future scars begin to itch
There's a purple skyline
And it propagates your deepest and unsung desires

There's a ticket to somewhere
That only I can validate
But I'm a little broken and wasted
From the force of this unrelenting gift

There's a reason I cry
But I can't tell you why
There's a reason I'll lie
For the very first time

Is there a reason to go?
I don't know
Take your clothes
And just throw them on the floor
There's still ink on your hand
And four colors in your hair

There's a ticket to somewhere
But someone keeps on changing all departure rules
He's a sailor in madness
And you reached for his heart
To hear it sing the Blues

And it feels like a drug
When he plays with his pretty little words
Yeah, you feel like he drugged you
He's inside you
But this bus is leaving way too soon

There's a reason I cry
Well, I won't tell you why
There's a reason I'll lie
For the very first time

Is there a reason to stay?
I can't say
Perfect days
Always seem to sprout inside cheap hotels
Cigarettes can't outlast the moment
I see the fire 'tween your thighs
And four colors on your mind
There's still paint on your nails
And a future scar awaits

It is not but a game
Or a volatile haze
You may stagger inside
For the rest of your life

Give me reason to fear
I'm nostalgic for tears
Why'd you ask me to stay?
Don't you want me away?

Whatever happened to time
Past the wall that we climbed
I believe time is borrowed
And unjustified

But that's no reason to go
I don't know
Take these clothes
And just throw them on the floor
Perfect life, perfect lines
And your heart is running wild
There is love on my mind
And some passion on the side
Pictures fade, mirrors break
These four colors will remain
