Lyrics[]
(Bring back the color)
Rose, light on her toes
Dancing in heels, her eyes on me
Rose already knows
That she's a dangerous maker of beauty
Chimney of the core will you open
For somebody who waits for time
Speaking rhymes
Dreams sing wild
Would I carry back the sun
Carry back the sun
And beg for the mother
To bring back the color
Everyone I know
And everyone I love
I beg for a lover
To bring back the color
Bring back the color
Stone sinks to the floor
Never returns back to before
The stone already knows
That it can crush all that has grown
Chimney of the core will you open for
Somebody who waits for growth (Inhale)
Hides below (Exhale)
A fading glow (Inhale)
Would I carry back the sun
Carry back the sun
And beg for the mother
To bring back the color
Everyone I know
And everyone I love
I beg for a lover
To bring back the color
Bring back the color
Would I carry back the sun
Carry back the sun
And beg for the mother
To bring back the color
Everyone I know
And everyone I love
I beg for a lover
To bring back the color
To bring back the color
