Colour Vacuum

Lyrics to a song about restraint and a longing for intimacy that I'm currently working on.


Fill me up, I’m a colour vacuum
I don’t want to be another one of your metaphors

Fill me up, this longing’s had me empty
Draining all of me and all of you in this endless corridor

Buried under all that I can see
The broken plunder you keep away from me
Gravitating alone away from me
Complicating all the things I can’t see

Fill me up, I’m a colour vacuum
I don’t want to be another one of your metaphors

Send me out, I shouldn’t be here
Somewhere, in the blurry distance you’ll find all you’ve been looking for

Fill me up, it’s all black and white here
And I’m getting sick of navigating and traversing all the grays

Stop me now, I’m done reaching out here
And I want to get as far as I can from today

Buried under all that I can see
The broken plunder you keep away from me
Gravitating alone away from me
Complicating all the things I can’t see

Buried under, all that I can touch and feel,
and I’m through now
