hues

All I see is a girl in black and white across the sidewalks in the dark of the night
and it seems like all ive been doing is chasing an angel
for what now seems like months of my life

my day starts when you set me on fire
with words you speak with ease
dont you know youve started a fever sweetheart
while all you do is tease.

and there you stand in vivid colors
of bright yellow and the palest of hues
and then you turn away, to face your past
and here again i have lost you

look back again at me sweetheart
isnt it clear youre not what you see
my eyes, are they not the windows to my soul?
tell me what you see through me
its in your bones, the fire in you
i see it burning through your skin and lips
youre a shade i cant colour
but its a shade that fills me with warmth to the tips and you surround my head with thoughts
of warmth and cold and technicolor
a kiss to your forehead, swarming with demons
ill hold you until youre a goner.

so while all i see is black and white
in the darkest of the nights
ive been following an angel in the darkness
whos been colouring in the shades with light.
