[Intro]

I be eating colours when my days are grey

Looking to the bottle to go wash it away

Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

[Verse 1]

Yeah, I eat, so I wash away the grey

One treat, ain't no longer feeling pain

I see that it causes more than saves

But I know that I'm slave to how it tastes

It shows through stress and gaining weight

Lost in the depths of takeaways

I've made a mess with stains of paint

Keep dragging on day to day

I don't smoke or drink, I do sweets

Can't help noticing that I'm weak

Keep on opening a can of coke or drink

And then hoping that I don't sleep

When I get the urge, I can't breathe

Just a messenger to my needs

When I'm stressed at work, I gon' get desserts

And then let it hurt when I eat

I've been trying hard, but then like a charm, I'm left on the ground with a pizza

With no fighting chance in my mind or heart, I gon' drink the dyes by the liter

My desires can't be retired fast when I rummaging like a creature

I got debuffs on me, no features, I've lost everything to the dealer

[Pre-Chorus]

I be eating colours when my days are grey

Looking to the bottle to go wash it away

Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

[Chorus]

I be eating colours when my days are grey

Looking to the bottle to go wash it away

Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name

Add another tally to my list of mistakes

Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint, 'cause I'll be eating pain

[Verse 2]

Yeah

When I'm sad, I medicate with junk

Rip the pack, another gateway drug

Overdose, I'm doing way too much

It's my tainted love

Lose myself, and I drain the cup

Little pills with a playful touch

In my mouth, and I take it rough

Primary colours, I wanted to yellow, but blue out my lungs 'till I'm red in the face

Health coming second, I'm chugging that orange 'till I'm feeling green, and I'm letting it spray

Coming out violet, I said I'm OK, I have to finish what's left on the plate

I'm eating colours, they're mixing inside me, and I can not stop 'till I'm dead in my grave

[Chorus]

I be eating colours when my days are grey

Looking to the bottle to go wash it away

Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name

Add another tally to my list of mistakes

Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint, 'cause I'll be eating paint

[Bridge]

It's such a childish thing for me to do

I'm piling plates until I'm drowning in a sea of food

They say that we're defined, but what we eat and we consume

I hope that I'll be better, I hope this isn't true

[Pre-Chorus]

I be eating colours when my days are grey

Looking to the bottle to go wash it away

Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name

Add another tally to my list of mistakes

Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

[Chorus]

I be eating colours when my days are grey

Looking to the bottle to go wash it away

Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name

Add another tally to my list of mistakes

Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make

I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint, 'cause I'll be eating paint
