Colorless Green Lyrics

Gutted out on endless road

Guided by the things I know

I left behind a barren land

And told myself I'd take a stand

It's the weekend dream to the weekday trap

I take my chance just to take it back

It seems there is no place for me

Still I'm off to find another scene

I'll be playing back the sound of every voice

That I come to know

Because maybe there is beauty in that noise

But I don't know

What do I know?

My mother's eyes are everywhere

When strangers stop to look and stare

Well I dropped my name so long ago

And I made new memories from the radio

I turn the pages of history

Until I find the one that's colored green

I smile at things that used to be

And I close my eyes and I dream

I'll be playing back the sound of every voice

That I come to know

Because maybe there is beauty in that noise

But I don't know

What do I know?

I lock the door and I am the key

Saying this is what it feels like to believe

I'm cursing every victory

And I pay my dues and I burn the receipt

I'll be playing back the sound of every voice

That I come to know

Because maybe there is beauty in that noise

But I don't know

What do I know?
