You know the world's tainted black and white like
Like a scene from a 20th movie
All these eyes getting gray and blurry
All these hands getting covered in dust
We can't see through all these trees, we're blind
Why can't we just open our eyes
We're standing alone in a forest of black trees
[And we're waiting, yeah we're waiting]
For a little bit of colour and news of peace
[And we're waiting, yeah we're waiting]
But it don't seem to end
All the things we can't stand
[And we're still here]
Standing alone in a forest of black trees
[And we're waiting, yeah we're waiting]
We're waiting
In this world where we fall from the sky
Like the leaves falling from the black trees
We fall apart, stand against each other
All our heads getting covered in smoke
We can't see through all these trees, we're blind
Why can't we just open our eyes
We're standing alone in a forest of black trees
[And we're waiting, yeah we're waiting]
For a little bit of colour and news of peace
[And we're waiting, yeah we're waiting]
But it don't seem to end
All the things we can't stand
[And we're still here]
Standing alone in a forest of black trees
[And we're waiting, yeah we're waiting]
We're waiting
Woooh oh, woho oh
Woooh oh, woho oho
Woooh oh, woho oh
Woooh oh, woho oho
We're standing alone in a forest of black trees
For a little bit of colour and news of peace
But it don't seem to end
[So so long]
All the things we can't stand
Standing alone in a forest of black trees
[So so long]
The forest of black trees
We're standing alone in a forest of black trees
[So so long]
[And we're waiting, yeah we're waiting]
For a little bit of colour and news of peace
[So so long]
[And we're waiting, yeah we're waiting]
But it don't seem to end
All the things we can't stand
[And we're still here]
Standing alone in a forest of black trees
[So so long]
[And we're waiting, yeah we're waiting]
We're waiting
