Monochrome

There’s a clearing up ahead And you won’t believe the view Not sure how far though So just keep pushing through Carved right out of me like Trees from the mountainside To make room for something of alleged value We’ve mined this thing for any meaning Excavated what’s worth keeping I didn’t know I had this far to fall I am the wall I am the bridge I am the sniper on the ridge And I don’t want to take you down with me at all I’ve felt the heat in the valley now And it’s nothing like the sun I knew back home Endured the cold of the mountain top Seen it all in monochrome Man oh man, how I’m stretched thin Can’t tell you how bad I need a win But this just feels like it's common sense When you’ve got fallen trees And neighbors far as eyes can see Build some tables and not a higher fence I’ve felt the heat in the valley now And it’s nothing like the sun I knew back home Endured the cold of the mountain top Seen it all in monochrome Monochrome Monochrome
