Lyrics

In the Absence of Color

Verse 1:
For a brief time when I was with you
I felt peace inside
I felt like I could do anything
A chance at new life had finally arrived

It wasn't long before all we did was fight
And peace turned to misery
Finding fault I could do nothing right
I grew to hate who you came to be

Chorus:
Under this falling angry sky
It's cold and grey
Until I leave this burden behind
It's here in the absence of color I'll stay

Verse 2:
As the ridicule came to define you
I was forced to draw a line
Unsure now from day to day
Which version of you I would find

From that time up until now
I've been stuck without gain
Unable to to get up off the ground
In these memories I've stayed

Chorus:
Under this falling angry sky
It's cold and grey
Until I leave this burden behind
It's here in the absence of color I'll stay

Chorus:
Under this falling angry sky
It's cold and grey
Until I leave this burden behind
It's here in the absence of color I'll stay

Ending: (Long version only)
When I think of the day that we met
My heart fills with pain and regret
No words can begin to say
How much I wish I'd never seen that day

Memories on the front of my mind
A way to erase I still have left to find
I know these memories won't go away
So in the absence of color I'll stay
