In between shades

Hey there Mr. Blue
I know everything you need
Don't have to scratch the skin
To watch the colors bleed
It gets mangled in translation
Indigo aquamarine

And I'm scraping up
the ashes
Just to hold on to the flame
Bending over backwards
Just to stay
in the game

Mr. Blue
Let's pretend it's all okay now
Let's pretend it
still feels good
Let's pretend we got this world on a string
Like they
promised we would
Mr. Blue

Hey there Mr. Blue
I know everything you
are
No need to excavate again
We've already dug too far
Cause I've been
kicked around for so long lately
I wear these wounds upon my sleeve

And I'm
scraping up the ashes
Just to resurrect the flame
Bending over backwards
But
it all feels the same

Mr. Blue
Let's pretend it's all okay now
Let's
pretend it still feels good
Let's pretend we got this world on a string
Like
they promised we would
Mr. Blue
Let's pretend it all feels fine today
Let's
pretend that I'm not still
Caught in the grey
Making my way
In between
shades

I'm just in between shades

Hey there Mr. Blue
I know everything you
feel
It's when we close our eyes
That we can see for real

Mr. Blue
Let's
pretend it's all okay now
Let's pretend it still feels good
Let's pretend we
got this world on a string
Like they said that we would
Mr. Blue
Let's
pretend it all feels fine today
Let's pretend that I'm not still
Caught in
the grey
Cause it's just another day like today
In between shades
