lyrics

I hope in colour, but I dream in black and white.
Dried up shutters cover both these tired eyes.
Forklift my ego off the back of stena line
And put a blanket 'round his shoulders, pay the driver for his time.

No-one ever knows when I am sleeping
And no-one sees the borders of my soul like you.
Tally up your inadequacies and calculate if I'll live to be the one you settle for.

I hope in colour but I dream in black and white.
Cracks in my skin let your brightness leave my life.
Just a finger-length behind me is a hole so deep and so wide;
Tie a lifeline 'round my ankle, beg the creator for a low tide.

No-one ever knows when I am sleeping
And no-one sees the borders of my soul like you.
Tally up your inadequacies and calculate if I'll live to be the one you'll settle for.
No-one ever knows when I am screaming
And no-one sees the inside of my home.
Build a bridge over the Irish Sea and speculate that I'll be there in a month or so, I'm sure.
