Monochroma Lyrics

intro:

These days black stands for me
not as a colour
but as a penetrating darkness
Thickening as I stare into it.
(Thickening,
The darkness is your
darkness.)

We are nothing but
spirals leading into
each other's hearts-
I no longer know
which one is mine.

As I walk deeper into
this darkness of yours
I feel its
tranquil whispers
painting me in my
one beloved colour
The colour that is you
-your skin, your embrace-

Closes my eyes, leaves me cold
But the light left me blindfolded
and I never felt warm.

We are mere spirals,
unknowingly we lock
ourselves in them
by walking through.
We are mere spirals,
unknowingly we lock
ourselves in them
by walking through.

One day you'll realize
that you can't get further
Look backwards, and see-
there's nothing there.
There never was a past.

I'll close your eyes
my breath will leave you cold
I'm the end of the spiral
the one who locks you in
Monochroma.

As I walk deeper into
this darkness of yours
I feel your sadness,
a gentle gust of wind
painting me in my
one beloved colour
The colour that is you
-your skin, your embrace-
How this sadness is my
tragedy-
being the one thing I adore
How can one live with that?
These days black doesn't stand
for me simply as one colour-
but as an inevitable hole
in which I crawl
deeper and deeper.
