We were blinking in the sunshine
We were fading in the glare
Because out there in the world we share
It was so colourful
Down for so long
And now we were free
But we could hardly see
Anything beyond this acrimony
It was still hard to be
What we'd always wanted to be
And so the chance, it slipped away
We could not wear the colours
The colours will not blend
They melt around each other
The bolder shades
We cannot see a thing
