Border line
Dead inside
I don't mind
Falling to pieces
Count me in, violent
Let's begin feeding the sickness
How do I simplify?
Dislocate the enemy's on the way
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight
Full of fear
Ever clear
I'll be here fighting forever
Curious, venomous
You'll find me
Climbing to heaven
Never mind turn back time
You'll be fine
I will get left behind
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight
Holding on too tight
Breathe the breath of life
So I can leave this world behind
It only hurts just once
They're only broken bones
Hide the hate inside
Oh
(Forever, one I'll be fine)
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight
Holding on too tight
Breathe the breath of life
So I can leave this world behind
Dead inside
I don't mind
Falling to pieces
Count me in, violent
Let's begin feeding the sickness
How do I simplify?
Dislocate the enemy's on the way
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight
Full of fear
Ever clear
I'll be here fighting forever
Curious, venomous
You'll find me
Climbing to heaven
Never mind turn back time
You'll be fine
I will get left behind
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight
Holding on too tight
Breathe the breath of life
So I can leave this world behind
It only hurts just once
They're only broken bones
Hide the hate inside
Oh
(Forever, one I'll be fine)
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight
Holding on too tight
Breathe the breath of life
So I can leave this world behind

this song is absolutely amazing. bens voice is great in this one. one of their best ever in my opinion.
completely agree. Ben's voice is ****ing amazing. I love how he can transition his vocal styling so smoothly in the middle of a song. <br /> <br /> <br /> My interpretation of the chorus is this:<br /> it's from the viewpoint of a soldier who has witnessed a lot of horrific things on his tour of duty<br /> "show me what it's like, to dream in black and white, so i can leave this world behind" sounds to me like he wants to know how he can view the world in such a detached way that the horrors of war or even daily life on the streets. Not sure about the rest of the song though.
wow left something out...<br /> <br /> ...so he can view the world in such a detached way that the horrors of war or even daily life on the streets don't affect him, mess with his head. Hell I see things on the news daily that depress me (hence why I'm giving up on the news) so that could be what he means by the chorus. Not sure about the rest of the song though
