Hey you
I saw you standing tall
Is there anything left for me?
You were the one that I adored
But then I saw you fall

Nothing ever works
Nothing ever clicks
Nothing ever turns the right way

(chorus)
There is a space beneath the floor
Of grey
There is a world that I’d like to find
Some day

Over there
I knew you were so fair
Was there anything I could do?
I never knew you true enough
Then I saw the colour

Nothing ever works
Nothing ever clicks
Nothing ever turns the right way

(chorus)

We speak our empty words
Into the void
We’ve tripped again
Please don’t stand there
You might fall into awakened state
No more will we clutter on the walls
We’ll let you crumble
We’ll let you crumble

(chorus)

Hey you
I saw you standing tall
Is there anything left for me?
You were the one that I adored
But then I saw you fall

This is the colourless world
This is the place that you adore
This is the colourless world
This is the place where you don’t belong

I’m never going back
I’m never going back
I’m never going to leave this state
I’m never going back there
I’m never going to say goodbye
This is my life
This is my life

(chorus)

Nothing ever works
Nothing ever clicks
Nothing ever turns the right way
This is
This is the colourless world

"You were the one that I adored
But then I saw you fall"

Very cool.   I enjoyed this.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...

nice write, i agree with ladybug i loved that line and this ine as well
"There is a space beneath the floor
Of grey
There is a world that I’d like to find
Some day"
that says it all...wonderful

"in a past life i was a woodcarver's knife: the sharpend blade of a wood cutter, the eldest son of the chief's brother: a maker of drums"
