Colors In The Darkness

Verse 1

I thought the dark was hollow

A place where broken souls decay

Then you wandered through my midnight

And taught the shadows how to stay

I wore the night like armor

Kept every candle from my door

My heart was carved from marble

I'd buried wanting long before

Pre-Chorus

You touched the parts I hid away

Woke the beast I locked inside

And in your gaze I finally saw

The truth I could not hide

Chorus

I never knew the dark held so much color

Till I found your soul beneath the cover

Crimson hunger violet skies

Midnight roses where our bodies lie

I thought the night was only black and blue

A hollow world with nothing true

But every shade I never knew

Was hiding in the dark with you

Verse 2

You found the red beneath my temper

The purple bruises of my years

The silver hope I tried to drown out

The golden crown beneath my fears

You never asked to save me

You kissed the monster I became

And when the world condemned my name

You held me close and loved the flame

Pre-Chorus

If loving you is wickedness

Then let me burn in it tonight

Let heaven turn its face away

I'll stay here in your light

Chorus

I never knew the dark held so much color

Till I found your soul beneath the cover

Crimson hunger violet skies

Midnight roses where our bodies lie

I thought the night was only black and blue

A hollow world with nothing true

But every shade I never knew

Was hiding in the dark with you

Bridge

I'll wear your devotion like a wound that never heals

Let the stars go dark let the morning never steal

What we built inside the ruin of my past

You are the only thing I know will last

Final Chorus

I never knew the dark held so much color

Till your heartbeat answered mine beneath the cover

Scarlet always violet flame

I was never the same when you whispered out my name

I thought I was born to wander all alone

A king without a kingdom a heart made out of stone

But the night became a painting and the shadows came alive

And I learned what it means for the dead to survive

I never knew the dark held so much color

Until you became my forever

Outro

From the shadows we rise

Through the ages we remain

You and I

We were meant to be
