Lyrics
I see the flowers in the window.
Still blooming.
How dare they.
I see the morning pale and bright
I want to pull it into night
I see the colours burn my eyes
I want the dark before sunrise
I see the people walk and smile
I've watched them from across the mile
I want to paint them all away
I want the black to eat the day
paint it black
paint it all black
no colours anymore
paint it black
paint it all black
like it was before
I don't want the light
I don't want the sight
just paint it black
paint it black tonight
his coat still hangs beside the door
his cup still sits upon the floor
I want to take the morning light
and drag it down into the night
I see the children laugh and run
I see the faces in the sun
I want to pull them all to black
I want to paint and not look back
paint it black
paint it all black
no colours anymore
paint it black
paint it all black
like it was before
I don't want the light
I don't want the sight
just paint it black
paint it black tonight
don't show me red
don't show me gold
don't show me anything too bright
just give me black
just give me cold
just take away the burning light
he's gone and all your colours lie
just paint it black
until I die
paint it black
paint it all black
no colours anymore
paint it black
paint it all black
like it was before
I don't want the light
I don't want the sight
just paint it black
paint it black tonight
I see the flowers in the window.
Still blooming.
How dare they.
