Lyrics for Dreams in Black and White

I only dream in black and white Should not see the colour Heart thumping (I can't find a way), shallow breathing Pinch myself (back to the path), something isn't right Open my eyes (that leads me home), I need to wake up From lucid dreaming Running all night (never enough), I'm still nowhere (Dreams slowly burning and turning to ash) I cannot find the path No light to follow (almost invisible) (I can't find a way) I never thought (all familiar landmarks disappear) To make could take so much away (back to the path that leads me home) (I can't find a way) I only dream in black and white (darkness all around) (Back to the path) should not see the colour (control this fear) (That leads me home) heart thumping, shallow breathing Pinch myself, something isn't right (almost invisible) (I never thought) no place for a man (To make could take so much away) under the shroud, I'm out of bounds
