Monochrome

[Verse 1] Strung out on the precipice, neck hooked on the stone Aged wood and faded frets, pickups humming low, alone Ravens perch like quiet judges, eyes fixed on the fall Wings carve slow circles, answering no call [Pre-Chorus] The wind pulls at the strings, one breath from letting go Textures deep in shadow, where the sharper edges show [Chorus] Is everything just black and white? Greys bleeding into night Colors always fade, dissolve into the height Hanging here in monochrome, barely holding light [Verse 2] Once vibrant in the emulsion, now stripped to bone and grain The cliff face holds its secrets, weathered like a frame Birds circle a dying echo, waiting for the plunge Feathers brush the afterimage, where the old tones want to lunge [Pre-Chorus] Dynamic range is narrowing, the contrast cuts too deep Youth slips like silver halide, no promise left to keep [Chorus] Is everything just black and white? Greys bleeding into night Colors always fade, dissolve into the height Hanging here in monochrome, barely holding light [Bridge] Nevermore the vivid layers, nevermore the warm embrace Just form and fracture, falling through this empty space Corvids calling from the edge, or is it my own voice? Clinging to the last relief before there is no choice [Final Chorus / Outro] Everything just black and white... Colors always fade... Hanging on, hanging on... In monochrome...
