Every Shade of Blue

Faces flow like Van Gogh brushstrokes

Kaleidoscope colors start to bleed

Ricochet boots beat the pavement

Another day on rowdy State Street

Behind crowds of sunken eyes

Hiding what we all realize

No one gets out of

Here alive, here alive

Up against this world’s

Nasty bite, nasty bite

Lay down our heavy hearts so

Battered and bruised

Together we get Every Shade of Blue

Hey, we got every shade of

Hey, we got every shade of

Blue, blue

Hey, we got every shade of

Hey, we got every shade of

Blue, of blue

Silk and pills and daffodils but 

You’re still wilting inside out

A Band-Aid masquerade can’t patch your

Brain when the noise is so loud

One more tale as old as time

Silent plague of tortured minds

No one gets out of

Here alive, here alive

Up against this world’s

Nasty bite, nasty bite

Lay down our heavy hearts so

Battered and bruised

Together we get Every Shade of Blue

Hey, we got every shade of

Hey, we got every shade of

Blue, blue

Hey, we got every shade of

Hey, we got every shade of

Blue, of blue

No one wins this battle

No one’s safe from this fight

We’re all jaded victims of our own device

But you need a little dark to see the light,

Need a little black to see the white

We all need a little blue

Need a little blue, oh

No one gets out of

Here alive, here alive

Up against this world’s

Nasty bite, nasty bite

Lay down our heavy hearts so

Battered and bruised

Together we get Every Shade of Blue

Hey, we got every shade of

Hey, we got every shade of

Blue, blue

Hey, we got every shade of

Hey, we got every shade of

Blue, of blue

Blue, blue, blue

Together we get Every Shade of Blue
