Monochrome

***

Anyway, I can try

Anything it's the same circle

That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,

My dignity, my look,

Everything is gone

And I'm tired now.

But don't be scared,

I found a good job and I go to work

Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

I am pilling up some unread books under my bed

And I really think I'll never read again.

No concentration,

Just a white disorder

Everywhere around me,

You know I'm so tired now.

But don't worry

I often go to dinners and parties

With some old friends who care for me,

Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,

Only absence near me,

Nothing but silence around me.

Monochrome flat, monochrome life,

Only absence near me,

Nothing but silence around me.

Sometimes I search an event

Or something to remind,

But I've really got nothing in mind.

Sometimes I open the windows

And listen people walking in the down streets.

There is a life out there.

But don't be scared,

I found a good job and I go to work

Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

Anyway, I can try

Anything it's the same circle

That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,

My dignity, my look,

Everything is gone

And I'm tired now.

But don't worry

I often go to dinners and parties

With some old friends who care for me,

Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,

Only absence near me,

Nothing but silence around me.

Monochrome flat, monochrome life,

Only absence near me,

Nothing but silence around me
