Lyrics

The film is black and white
I sat in a chair
and watched you try
to write a better scene
Preoccupied with something new

So you travel to a sunlit place
But the light there is also strange

You tried to quit the news
Imagined dangers
in the darkest hours of the night
Wreak havoc on your mind

So you travel to a sunlit place
But your life there is still the same
So you travel to a distant shore
But your life will be like before

So you travel to a distant shore
But your life will be like before
So you travel to a sunlit place
But your life there is still the same
