Ensign Red - Monochrome

How is it possible that we have come to this?
A world of promise stares into an abyss
The knowledge of the ages at our fingertips
Yet we can taste the poison falling from our lips
I had so hoped that the dreams of my Tomorrowland
Could have avoided the division upon which we stand
Have we been rendered so blind an so unable to see
There's so much more than this black and white philosophy
The logic and emotions bare their fruits a thousand times
So crush the pigments and smear them way outside the color lines
I no longer see this world in monochrome
Notions tumble like dominos
I refuse to dance in lockstep time
I will not walk your pantomime
It's time to find the way out
Is selfish isolation what's leading me to see
The vision of a friend or of an enemy
Is it truly the sum of our existence
Following down the path of least resistance
Zeros and ones won't take us there after all
We're so determined to watch everything fall
How much hatred must we witness in reality?
There's so much more than this black and white philosophy
The logic and emotions bare their fruits a thousand times
So crush the pigments and smear them way outside the color lines
I no longer see this world in monochrome
Notions tumble like dominos
I refuse to dance in lockstep time
I will not walk your pantomime
It's time to find the way out
This ain't no race to race
Religion or creed
Monetary status or ideology
Beneath the cold didactic exterior
The truth of it all is that you're just like me
I no longer see this world in monochrome
Notions tumble like dominos
I refuse to dance in lockstep time
I will not walk your pantomime
I no longer see this world in monochrome
Notions tumble like dominos
I refuse to dance in lockstep time
I will not walk your pantomime
It's time to find the way out
