Hey Karen - In Gradients lyrics

He would come unannounced And unheard at that time He would learn to deny He would be a waste of time He was twelve, he went to school Seemingly so uncool They would laugh, he would cry He saw none sense in trying He had a friend, his name was Paul He would be the one to teach him all About what was unspeakable About what he would protect with a wall That he would build around his heart But then the bricks would start to fall apart They would go out and make some noise Paul learned him how to kiss like grown up boys They wouldn't know, they couldn't tell He was so scared of dying and of hell He would stay put until the night When they could talk and when there was no fright But then his friend would go away He would be sad about it til this day But his warm light shines in the dark Who knows how much it takes to make a spark? So he would come unannounced He would break the silence that surrounds his way And that's ok He felt the sudden urge to scream He wanted everyone to know what does he feel And that he's real There was fear, there always is But there is no other choice than to be clear Not to disappear We will come unannounced We will scream our names from the top of our lungs Until there's none We will stop at no sign As we can't afford to lose what's yours and what's mine Not this time Colors will disappear We will light up in gradients to shine on everything near What we hold dear
