Alex Wons - Colorblind Lyrics

I think it's time that I say
Why I'm so afraid
Of what there's left to see
And who I'm meant to be

And every day that flies by
I keep wondering why
I see the world in a way
That makes people think I'm insane

But I know
I'm stuck on this road
And everything that I feel
Is actually real

I've never known a day
Without a heavy pain
I've never known a night
Without a fight

They tell me all I gotta do is snap out of it
And that I gotta stop being so dramatic
They don't realize that this is something real
And I may never heal

I don't get why people say rainbows are pretty
I only see them in black and white
Maybe we don't see the world the same
Maybe it's 'cause I'm colorblind
They tell me to look harder and maybe I'll see it
They tell me to just feel it inside
But nothing I can do will change how I see
I'll always be colorblind

Anchors are holding me down
I think I'm going to drown
Nobody understands
The weight I hold in my hands

They tell me get off the ground
But they don't carry a pound
Easy for them to say
'Cause they don't feel the weight

They tell me all I gotta do is snap out of it
And that I gotta stop being so dramatic
They don't realize that this is something real
And I may never heal, oh

I don't get why people say rainbows are pretty
I only see them in black and white
Well maybe we don't see the world the same
Maybe it's 'cause I'm colorblind
They tell me to look harder and maybe I'll see it
They tell me to just feel it inside
But nothing I can do will change how I see
I'll always be colorblind

The empire that I built is burning down
And no one wants to deal with the mess I am now
Somebody help me
Help me escape
I'm not strong enough
To just brush it off
It's harder than you think it is
You don't understand our differences
I'm colorblind

You know I can't just get up
And walk away
You show me how but I'm
Chained to the ground where I'll stay

I don't get why people say rainbows are pretty
I only see them in black and white
Maybe we don't see the world the same
Maybe it's 'cause I'm colorblind
They tell me to look harder and maybe I'll see it
They tell me to just feel it inside
But nothing they can say will change how I see
I'll always be colorblind

I'll always be colorblind
I'm colorblind
I'm colorblind
I'll always be colorblind
I'm colorblind
