Otep – No Color lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember black mascara painting your face
I remember dark sunglasses when clouds were grey
Remember silence
Remember tears
Remember still
I remember black cars pulling up to take you away
The smell of the fall and the endless rain
Remember shivers
Remember cold
Remember still
Now I hesitate
Levitate between memories
Elevate was it hate
That got through to me
My mistake was it fate that brought you to me
Now I’m losing

[Chorus]
Why can't I see any color at all
When I dream about those days
How did I let these images drain away
When all I do is suffer
No color!
Why can't I see any color at all
Why can't I see any color at all
Why can't I see any color at all
No color!

[Verse 2]
I remember black clouds blooming
As I shouldered the blame
The gun metal grey on that trembling day
Remember thunder
Remember fear
Remember still
I remember biting my lip to stifle a laugh
I tried to say your name
But all that came out was a whisper
“Hell is empty the devil’s here”
Now you disintegrate
Levitate into memory
Elevate was it hate that got you to see
My mistake it was fate that brought you to me
Now I'm losing

[Chorus]
Why can't I see any color at all
When I dream about those days
How did I let these images drain away
When all I do is suffer
No color!
Why can't I see any color at all
Why can't I see any color at all
Why can't I see any color at all
No color!

[Bridge]
I think I thought but I forgot
I think I think too much
I have a problem for every answer
Striking at the ocean with a broken hammer
I think I think too much
I think I think too much

[Chorus]
Why can't I see any color at all
When I dream about those days
How did I let these images drain away
When all I do is suffer
No color!
Why can't I see any color at all
Why can't I see any color at all
Why can't I see any color at all
No color!

No color

[Outro]
We can break apart like stars
And throw ourselves against the sky
