Re-watched the home videos
The ones on vintage tapes
Now covered in grain
I can barely make out your face
I breathed the air you breathe
I mimed each word you'd say
Like father, like son
Only umpteen years away
But if I could just only say goodbye to you
Cos I'm blind
Colourblind
Blind in a world full of colour
Blind
Colourblind
Blind in a world full of colour
A boy without a father
If I could only paint the black and white
With vivid colours of pink and green
And open up your palette
To the fascination that it could've been
But I can't cos life is not a platform game
With an HUD
With more than one life
But the choice is yours
To spit chips or call
But once you commit
You'll have to sit our future out
I would give it all to talk again!

Blind in a world full of colour
Blind
Colourblind
Blind in a world full of colour
A boy without a father
If I could only paint the black and white
If I could take your hand
And walk you through my life since
Would it faze you at all?
Or would I have to convince
That being wholly selfish left indelible footprints
In the way I see the world
And how I'm swallowed by it?
If I could freeze all time and show you where I am now
Would you feel remorse or guilt
That you chewed me up and spat me out?
The parent's oath
Always in the interest of your child
You thought this was really it?
The final straw that you drew short
At least you had a choice unlike this boy without a father
Oh now, it's crystal clear
I'm like you but I see
In Technicolour
The final straw that you drew short
At least you had a choice unlike this boy without a father
Oh now, it's crystal clear
I'm like you but I see
In Technicolour
