Rose Colored - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Now you look at me lost here on my street

Another beautiful mind is changing

Violently wake me from my dreams

Another beautiful body shaking

Are the doors that I opened closing in?

All the words that I spoke now frozen

And now that I'm taller, am I too thin?

And now it's time to decide, would I rather be blind?

I don't wanna divide my own

I don't wanna rely on a perfect home

I just wanna survive, I just wanna survive

With rose-colored eyes

It's in the trees of the forest waiting

It's in the smell of the wood we're burning

It's in the touch of the pine, the change in my eyes

I don't wanna divide my own

I don't wanna rely on a perfect home

I just wanna survive, I just wanna survive

With rose-colored eyes

The shape of her back as she weeps over his body

As we sing our little songs in the hospital room

The sound of your voice as I search your words for meaning

Is there beauty in the breathing, even when that breathing's left?

And the tree that we had planted now grows strong inside my chest

I will walk for all these miles just to find what I have left within myself (myself, myself, myself, myself)
