Trauma (The Colours All Are Brighter There)

[the tourist]

All of your dreams come alive
In the emptiness of night
Take the wheel, close your eyes
All you have to do is drive
On the five, across the nine
Blow right through the red stop sign
Take a bow from your side
Looking back across the line

And it feels like you're running further
Faster than anyone has ever
Run away from thunder, shiver
And it feels like the stars were never brighter
With every breath they're falling closer
Such a beautiful disaster

Romantikills, you live and learn
You touched her hand and you got burned
The alcohol blurs the soul
Til you're lines have all been slurred
But you preferred the bitter taste
Of the love you made to waste
The hourglass, the sweet caress
And the mistakes you had to make

And it feels like you're running further
Faster than anyone has ever
Run away from thunder, shiver
And it feels like the stars were never brighter
With every breath they're falling closer
Such a beautiful disaster

The shadowlands
Have peeled away
The silhouettes
Of everything
The colours all are brighter there
The colours all are brighter there
