Black & White

Seeing myself in black and white
It seems like one eternal long fight
Against what perfect life should be
I'm backing away

Or is it just me that's able to see?
Or am I the one that's got it all wrong?
Just not able to make it make sense
So I stay on my island, behind a defense, yeah

We've come a long way
Come a long way...

Where were you when I needed
Looking away
Yeah

Seeing myself, I take it all back
Maybe there's something here that I lack
Maybe it's a missing gene, who could say?
I'm backing away

But seeing your life, I just can't connect
What it is that you're selling, I just can't detect
No over-analytical thoughts, please, I said
I'm running away

We've come a long way
Come a long way...

Where were you when I needed
Looking away
Yeah

If I could I'd clean the slate
I delete every word I said
But it's too late, it's all in place
Meant nothing fucking anyway

We've come a long way
Come a long way...

Where were you when I needed
Looking away
Yeah
