Lyrics
The sky is not the same shade of blue Every single thing I believe isn't true Missing in a maze of monochrome How did I get here How can I go home? The echoes in my eyes Of all they used to see Burning down the world The ashes and debris And all that's left of me Non-entity Try to stand in line Try to obey The ghosts of what I was keep getting in the way Staring at the sun Blinded by the light Now I'm afraid I'm fading out of sight The echoes in my eyes Of all they used to see Burning down the world Ashes and debris And all that's left of you And all that's left of me All have washed away Non-entity
