The Color Of Silence lyrics

Baby baby
I won't you to misunderstand
If I stare at my own reflection
Sometimes I wonder
If time has really been my friend
My friend

Baby, baby
I like to tell you what's on my mind
How I'm afraid of us growing older
And never reaching those stars we once saw in our eyes
Time flies
I guess we're just too busy living
To feel alive

Sometimes
I get a little bit lonely
Sometimes

(J. Brooks)

Oh Betty
You know I loved you so
I'm shattered
It hurt so much to see you go

Give me your heart, I'll keep it beating
And your blood will spill no more
Oh I want to love you Betty
But I can't
'Cause you closed the greatest of doors

Oh Betty
Don't tell heaven where you've been
Don't you know that needing love is not a sin

Give me your soul, I'll be it's keeper

(Tiffany, J. Brooks, T. Feehan)

I don't like the way I feel
But I don't understand
Why I hide the things I do
And I don't care who's wrong or right
I just need a reason,
A reason just to see it through

And I don't care if I've wasted all your time
'Cause there's dreams that go by
And dreams that you find

And I know what you mean
But I can't hear you

(Tiffany, T. Feehan, G. Black)

I got a feeling
Everything's gonna be alright
And I still find my way
And I heard
It's always darkest before the storm
So come on let it rain

Everything was different when I was seventeen
The world was so much brighter
Now I finally found the truth
Of what they hid for me
That world was so much kinder

Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice

(Tiffany, J. Brooks)

Scarlet red
drips from my veins
What's wrong with me
That I imagine such things
And if only for a moment
Let there be peace
And how can I
Live with this pain
I don't have the strength
To conquer this shame
And if only for a moment
Let there be peace

And tell me did you know
That I still won't let it go
And just maybe you're still flying free
If only

Have you ever been kicked to the curb
When the party finally ends
Just when I thought that you left me for dead
You dust me off again

Maybe you thought you could throw me away
Like a shoe that doesn't fit
But you've created your Frankenstein
And now you've gotta live with it
And here I am

Thought I'd turn and walk away
Guess this ain't your lucky day

All I want is written on my face
You're bound to find something
And all your words that held me into place
Were nothing but lies

Another time I might have watched the things I said
But I can't see

Somebody...

Open my eyes for a little while little while
make me forget all the things I see
Til then til then don't know what is happening
til then til then don't care what I'll see

I'm a little broken
I'm a lot confused
I'm very tired and I've got nothing to lose
All I want to know is
Can you take me as I am

You've been searching
You've tested my love
You've been pushing hard to see what I am made of
And all I want to know is
Can you take me as I am

I can't close my eyes
Without seeing your face
And I know if you left
There'd be an empty space
And my life

I still remember how I felt that Christmas day
When she went so unsure
All you believed is what the papers had to say
Torn apart by every word
And all the freedom of the restless child
Left me standing here alone

What did you want me to say?
What was I waiting for?
When all I wanted was you
Why did you need me to stay?
Why did I ask for more?
When all I wanted was you

Am I in
Or am I out
Don't pretend that you don't know
What I'm talking about
In your eyes
I can see
The reflection of someone that's
Clearly not me

And you
Keep walking
like you got somewhere else to go
Keep walking
Like you don't care for me no more

Make a wish now baby
And I'll try to make it come true
But I feel this time I'll be losing you,
Butterfly
I'm gonna let you go

Do you believe that you're dead when you die
Or do you believe in a soul
You have the power to mess with their minds
You've got them under control

Everybody wants a piece of you
To take them higher than they ever were on the ground
(All I wanna say is)

Cinnamon, Cinnamon
Don't let them down
Cinnamon, Cinnamon
Don't let them down

Nobody sees that you smile when you lie

Yes, yes there's a new world dawning
Get dressed, quit dreaming you're falling
Take notes and I'll tell you when you got it right
No, no you can leave your attitude
You're the only one it seems to matter to Count votes and you'll see it in a
brand new light

Why can't you be a man about it
Let me turn you into someone new
I'm screaming in a fan

(feat. Krayzie Bone)

Wake up, wake up....

Turn on the water
Close the door
I won't let you tear me down
Just another moment
When the sound of your voice
Cuts me to the ground

Locked in here just to make
Myself feel better
Look in the mirror
And tell myself that I'm okay
I know it doesn't matter
Whatever I do
It's always second best

I gotta free my mind

Sometimes I like to sit and watch the clouds for hours
It's just so extra-ordinary
Standing in the pouring rain just because it's raining
It's all so fascinating

All that I need is what I see or rather what I feel
You believe what you wanna believe
And that's alright with me

And that's alright
To feel what you're feeling
You know it makes no difference to me

I will not breakdown
(Tim Feehan, Joe Brooks, Gene Black)
Time was
You could start a revolution with this disillusion I feel
Time was
You would never make a fool of me
Can't see nothing but a violent solution
In this war of confusion in me
I should run from you but I never would be free

I will not breakdown (will you break down)
I will not stand still (are you standing still)

(J. Brooks, T. Feehan)

You should know that my smile was leading to this
It's all in this letter
Strange how your wings ache like a son of a bitch
Just when you're, just when you're finally better

(fly away)
Butterfly

Someone like you just better watch where you step
People have been known to bleed
See how my words read like a kick in the head
Sometimes that's just what you need
