A life shot in black and white
Lays me down
Takes to me where
Words still fail me, yes!
A life shot in black and white
Shames me now, as it takes us there
Where nothing can break this
Toiling back, I am still ashen
I keep falling back
On what I believe still matters
I'm slamming on the brakes
And like a haunted child, I was born to break
A life shot in black and white
Throws me down, then raises me
With colours still bleeding... yes
It's all there in black and white
We've seen it now, seen it there
And the moment's not leaving
A life shot in black and white
Stares me down, take me where
And like doves we won't leave never
We're still here in black and white
Lays me down
Takes to me where
Words still fail me, yes!
A life shot in black and white
Shames me now, as it takes us there
Where nothing can break this
Toiling back, I am still ashen
I keep falling back
On what I believe still matters
I'm slamming on the brakes
And like a haunted child, I was born to break
A life shot in black and white
Throws me down, then raises me
With colours still bleeding... yes
It's all there in black and white
We've seen it now, seen it there
And the moment's not leaving
A life shot in black and white
Stares me down, take me where
And like doves we won't leave never
We're still here in black and white
