Off White

from Odyssey by Optimist

/

lyrics

The times are changing for you and I.
That shine in your eye has faded to an off-white.
Your heart of gold has rusted over into a faded shade of rose.
Everything you've ever touched has been worn into stone.
And I'm so cold...

After all we've made I'm still falling away and you were never there to catch me.
Too heavy to hold as I wade into stone.
I can't run anymore, just erode.

I made my place of safety and peace captured in your arms.
But I slipped as comfort and content hardened our hearts.
(You let me go)

You let me go and you watched me fall. You said we would get through it if I gave it all.
But you gave nothing back and watched my world die.
Every tree whithering under a crimson sky.
You were all mine.
I was so blind.
It's never been so hard to leave it all behind.
I'll be okay if I can fall forever.
We're both statues, so let's rot together.

After all we've made I'm still falling away and you were never there to catch me.
Too heavy to hold as I wade into stone.
I can't run anymore, just erode.

I'm stone.
Just let me shatter.
