Indigo

Never felt too good about my life looked like

I'd end up on the scraphead with the other dogs of night

Insecure and dangerous

Never had the chances or the breaks that the other kids had

So you drag your life through the dust

But in you there was that glow -

And a coat of indigo

Problems will come and go -

In my coat of indigo

In the dark

I wear my coat of many colours -

In some way it covers where

I'm from So you drag your life through the dust -

Across the red and gold sunset skies

My wishes always lead me beyond the confines of this life

So much to give

If I'd had a chance

I would have burnt this place down

Why did the espectre of no hope choose our town?

But in you there was that glow -

And a coat of indigo

Problems will come and go -

In my coat of indigo

I've been trapped for most of my life in this airtight box

If I could get just one arm free -

Then the world would notice me

If I could get just one arm free -

Swim to the surface where

I can breath

If I could get just one arm free -

There's a chance that the world will notice me

If I could get just one arm free -

There's a chance that the world will notice me

If I could get just one arm free -

I could swim to the surface where

I can breath

Everyday the alarm bell rings -

And I face another murder of a day

And I look out of my window -

And the sky is deathly grey

All the bleakness and the industry of the world groans as it starts another day

Its masters demand their pound of flesh -

I cannot take this way

So I look to the safety of my subconscious -

Where I wash away all my fear

And I will dive into a deep blue lagoon -

And swim away from here
