A life shot in black & white

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,
Changes now, changes there but the spirit can´t leave us!
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,
Changes now, changes there but the spirit can´t leave us!
