There are words in every language
That can fail to conjure meaning
With just ears and mouths and talking
Or when pen & ink have crossed

And I know only english
But I wish I knew another
Just to have a hope of saying
All I had and all that’s lost

I still taste your memory
I will paint you near to me

Wash over me with your violet I’m sorries
Tell me goodbye in a million shades of blue
You’ve turned tomorrow from its moonbeam silver
Into a dusty orange hue

Most of us do anything
To keep from going crazy
When we find ourselves alone
Back in the place we fear the most

But other people realize
That they are at the mercy
Of the pictures and the colors
Holding on just like a ghost

I still hear your symphony
It's drowning out my melody

Wash over me with your violet I’m sorries
Tell me goodbye in a million shades of blue
You’ve turned tomorrow from its moonbeam silver
To a dusty orange hue

I remember I love yous of golden morning glow
The gazes steeped in midnight dark that linger soft as smoke
But now the colors blend together in my head
With “come back, come back” in molten green softening my bones

Wash over me
Tell me goodbye
You’ve left me here in synesthesia
But you took all of our colors with you
