In Technicolour Lyrics

Re-watched the home videos
The ones on vintage tapes
Now covered in grain
I can barely make out your face
I breathed the air you breathe
I mimed each word you'd say
Like father, like son
Only umteen years away...

But if I could just say goodbye to you?

Cos I'm blind
Colourblind
Blind in a world full of colour
Blind
Colourblind
Blind in a world full of colour
A boy without a father
If I could only paint the black and white

With vivid colours of pink and green
And open up your palette to the fascination that it could've been
But I can't cos life is not a platform game
With an HUD
With more than one life
But the choice is yours
To spit chips or call
But once you commit
You'll have to sit our future out

I would give it all to talk again

If I could take your hand and walk you through my life since
Would it faze you at all or would I have to convince
That being wholly selfish left indelible footprints
In the way I see the world and how I'm swallowed by it
If I could freeze all time and show you where I am now
Would you feel remorse or guilt that you chewed me up and spat me out?
The parent's oath; always in the interest of your child
You thought this was really it?

The final straw that you drew short
At least you had a choice unlike this boy without a father
Oh now, it's crystal clear
I'm like you but I see in Technicolour.

Blind
Colourblind
Blind in a world full of colour
A boy without a father
If I could only paint the black and white
