[Verse 1] They keep it under lock In a room behind the maps A shade with no name On a page that never laps They say, "Don't look too long" They say, "Nothing to see" But every sealed-off door Starts breathing back at me [Pre-Chorus] One blink, then the floor tilts One glance, and the mask slips I saw it on your sleeve Like a stain that won't quit [Chorus] That color makes you wake That color breaks the frame That color in my mind And nothing stays the same (keep it hidden) That color makes you wake (that color) makes you wake It pulls the world apart Then puts it back in shape [Verse 2] Old files in a drawer Names blacked out with care A witness with a grin Said, "You already wear it there" On the bus, on the pane In the bruise under your skin It moves behind the faces And starts the room again [Pre-Chorus] One blink, then the floor tilts One glance, and the mask slips I saw it in your eyes Like a door cracked open wide [Chorus] That color makes you wake That color breaks the frame That color in my mind And nothing stays the same (keep it hidden) That color makes you wake (that color) makes you wake It pulls the world apart Then puts it back in shape [Bridge] Now I can't unsee it In the seams of every lie In the anthem on the radio In the smoke inside your eyes If they bury it forever It still grows through the cracks A secret with a pulse now And it never gives back [Final Chorus] That color makes you wake That color breaks the frame That color in my mind And nothing stays the same (keep it hidden) That color makes you wake (that color) makes you wake It pulls the world apart Then puts it back in shape
