This is the final bit of lyrics to be posted for the upcoming Of Colour release, HALOS. Though this is not the last song on the record, it was the one who’s concept changed the most for me. It went through a lot of lyrical directions, and here is the final one:
Crushed Under Eden
Between the dark and the sun we were at war with you
In the night I couldn’t see
In the light what was obvious
So if my heart stopped now
My love for you would stay, floating in nothing
Until you can hear me
And everything you know, how could I know?
But there will be no secrets at now
And there will be no time to ignore, to make waste of
Your arms couldn’t hold the walls up long enough
We’d be crushed under Eden if not for us all
And so apathy was always just a choice
Alone it was so hard, together we can change it all
And everything we are, you understand
There will be no worries at all here
And there will be no time to be scared, to give up on
Even if we run away this is not an escape
It’s a chance to start again
With you I know I can be something different, a gift into a better world
And everything you know, how could I know?
But there will be no secrets at now
And there will be no time to ignore, to make waste of
And it is true I’ve never met you I feel like I could love you
And even though I don’t know you I feel like I could love you
- Armitage
