Colours

Red is the color of blood when I cut myself
And I'm bleeding but that's not a bad thing
Red is the color of puppies and sports cars
A strong symbol of liveliness

Red is the color of the heart that I love you with
That I draw for you every time I see you
It's the color of stickered up items
That you can purchase from most major stores

I look to the king, I'm filling in an outline
When it strikes me that I don't know what gold is

Blue is the color of the ink that I'm writing with
Painting pictures of what I'm perceiving
Blue is the color of the planet we live upon
Even though me, I always thought it was green

Blue is a feeling people sing songs about
Wrote three chords about when they're feeling down
Look to the sky, don't feel blue
I'm just happy I'm looking at you

I'm swimming in oceans, I'm scaling some trees
Effortless it seems, I know where home is
No, no, no

There is a color that I've never seen before
My friends got it inside his mind
It must be a completely new color
'Cause there's no possible way to describe it

Maybe the color of the spaces between us
And the color of brand new ideas
It's the color my friends thinking of
I've been seeing this color for years

I take a deep breath and I return to the king
When I realize I know what gold is
I'm spiraling backwards through pallets and tones
The earth carries them, we are home
