Rose Colored - Foreign Fields

Now you look at me lost here

On my street

Another beautiful mind is changing

Violently wake me from my dreams

Another beautiful body shakened

Are the doors that I opened closing in?

All the words that I spoke now frozen

And now that I’m taller am I too thin?

And now it’s time to decide

Would I rather be blind?

I don’t wanna defy my own

I don’t wanna rely on a perfect home

I just wanna survive

I just wanna survive

With rose colored eyes

It’s in the trees of the forest, waiting

It’s in the smell of the wood we’re burning

It’s in the touch of the pine

The change in my eyes

I don’t wanna to defy my own

I don’t wanna rely on a perfect home

I just wanna survive

I just wanna survive

With rose colored eyes

It’s the shape of her back as she weeps over his body

As we sing our little songs in the hospital room

The sound of your voice as I search your words for meaning

Is there beauty in the breathing?

Even when that breathing’s left

And the tree that we had planted now grows strong inside my chest

I will walk for all these miles just to

Find what I have left within myself

Self (self, self)
