Colour Blind by Elder Sister Plum Lyrics
Shedding skin and hair
Eyelashes everywhere
Skin like bruised bananas and pears
Blueberries and apple cores
There's poison in my pores
Acrylic colours cutting in
The corners of my mind
The corners of my mouth are sharing
Secrets with your eyes
Try to decipher the reason
Of my rhyme
I split atoms while you travel in time
I'll crack your back
While you play my bones
With ease and a steady beat
I'm knocking my knees to the rhythm
Of your breath pouring through your teeth
Gather my skin, leaving trails
Underneath your fingernails
Layer by layer revealing all that's
Iridescent and frail
Skeletal lovers are
Leaving this world behind
Let's lift the veil so we can lose our minds
I took a bite and it tasted fine
So I let it ferment
And I made some damn good wine
Up in the sky, if you're looking right
You will see what i mean
When I speak between the lines
Made up my mind and I hitched a ride
Cause i'm getting kinda tired
Of the grass on this side
I know it's pretty green
The greenest I've ever seen but
Lately i've been feeling just a little bit
Colour blind
Row, row
Row your boat
Pick up a paddle and
Cross my moat
I'll be your blanket
And your winter coat
Cross my eyes and
Pray for hope
I know your soundtrack
Note for note
I'm testing the waters
Gonna see if I float
I fill my lungs
With electric air
My icicle hair is dripping
And my thoughts begin to tear
Loosing reality
Choosing just not to care
I'll show you mine
If you promise not to stare
Your mouth is hot like fire
Blister burning on my lips
And on my clenched fists
I'm shaking in the
Wake of our desire
Sleepily sucking the light out
Of our eyes
A pinch and a wink, hey man we'll be just fine
A pinch and a wink, hey man we're doing fine
I took a bite and it tasted fine
So I let it ferment
And I made some damn good wine
Up in the sky, if you're looking right
You will see what I mean
When I speak between the lines
Made up my mind and I hitched a ride
Cause i'm getting kinda tired
Of the grass on this side
I know it's pretty green
The greenest I've ever seen but
Lately I've been feeling just a little bit
Colour blind
Eyelashes everywhere
Skin like bruised bananas and pears
Blueberries and apple cores
There's poison in my pores
Acrylic colours cutting in
The corners of my mind
The corners of my mouth are sharing
Secrets with your eyes
Try to decipher the reason

I split atoms while you travel in time
I'll crack your back
While you play my bones
With ease and a steady beat
I'm knocking my knees to the rhythm
Of your breath pouring through your teeth
Gather my skin, leaving trails

Layer by layer revealing all that's
