nickwuh - At the End of the Rainbow

A waste of color, a waste of space
I want a lover, I want an escape
Looking for silence, looking for home
An empty apartment, you've been all alone

So you live and die the same that you've always been
You're always in a constant state of dreaming
Is it fate or is it seeming?

And I thought I saw it shimmer through the pouring rain
But the glow grows dimmer, as my hair grows thinner
And I know, there's gotta be something at the end of this road
Oh, I hoped
And I thought I saw its shadow in a distant place
But my eyes went out of focus, as my soul begged for atonement
And it's only silver, never gold
At the end of the rainbow

Half a person, a skeleton
Half together, never listen
I want to travel, I want to run
My mind unravels beneath the sun

Changing seasons, changing shape
Lack of reason, another mistake
Cannon fodder, like a lamb
To the slaughter, and I'm trying to be okay with who I am

Is it too much of me to ask for you to clear the overcast?
I'm at the top, and my head's in the clouds
But I'll keep looking down

I thought I saw it shimmer through the pouring rain
But the glow grows dimmer, as my hair grows thinner
And I know, there's gotta be something at the end of this road
Oh, I hoped
And I thought I saw its shadow in a distant place
But my eyes went out of focus, as my soul begged for atonement
And it's only silver, never gold
At the end of the rainbow

I've played out all our lives
And I'd want to be the first to die
Maybe this is something
But I'd rather I be nothing

When you leave next July
And you leave me behind
Will you finally leave my mind?
Or will you take the rest of my life

When you come back in December
You'll taunt the ash of our remainders
I'm afraid of having heart
And I'm unsure of where to start

I thought I saw a glimmer in the pyrite stain
The one around my finger, it turned out to be a splinter
And I won't keep dragging through the mud when there's nowhere to go

And I thought I heard your echo from a mirrored space
I'll stay forever broken, but I believed you for a moment
But the silver rusts and you lied, no pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
