Alek Vila : Lyrics

Love In Color

There’s darkness ahead of me.
Don’t try to fill it for me.
Let me wallow
in the absence.

There’s no love in the light.

Let the shadows dance.
I’ll dream tonight
before I rest,
and my dreams will be
better than life itself.

There’s form and direction,
and a play
on suggestion.
Let me paint the reason–

there’s no love in reality.

Let me move the stone–
the fantasy
ressurrected.
Walking out of the tomb,
it stands perfected.

You offer saturation,
and what I see
is what I get.
It’s a wonder why I bother...

There’s no love in color.
