about

Colours Bleed is a critique of modern society's proclivity to lie and to present to the world an artificial version of themselves. The narrator sees through this facade and warns of the devastating consequences of living a life of deceit. The finale of the song recounts the final words of the narrator as he challenges human society to do away with it's falsities and live a life of meaning.

lyrics

Your lies hide what you portray,
Tied to the way you hate,
Cries fail to hide your shame,
Deny, refuse to take the blame.

I separate the scars,
Carved into who we are,
Sever what's underneath,
I see your colours bleed.

Cold Blood floods your brain,
Clarity fades away,
Feigning an inner peace,
Visions of calmer seas,
Save face, hide all trace,
Wearing your mask to see, hiding from reality,
Press your ear to the door between your dreams and what you saw,
Who is this for?

I separate the scars,
Carved into who we are,
Sever what's underneath,
I see your colours bleed.

Show what you want me to see,
Your disarray your entropy,
A bittersweet repeat of your past,
Oh at last,
A king with no crown above,
Can't find the strength enough,
To fight what does not have to be.

I separate the scars,
Carved into who we are,
Sever what's underneath,
I see your colours, I see your colours, I see your colours bleed.

Show what you want me to see,
Your disarray your entropy,
A bittersweet repeat of your past,
Oh at last,
A king with no crown above,
Can't find the strength enough,
To fight what does not have to be.

Beckoning on your knees,
Sentient for all to see,
Surrendered your life to deceit,
Now you plead,
When will you ever learn,
These tables will never turn,
If solely you pray for relief.
