lyrics:

i spend my hours doing alchemy
i mix my yellows and my blues to make a shade of green
prosaic practice of depravity
suspending innocents above their disbelief
i wish that i could paint a pretty picture onto everything
and leave a mark upon the world that felt like anything
but maybe that's the essence of an artist and their legacy
just chasing down a sense of infamy

put brush to canvas with a pirouette
a simple motion makes the consequence intricate
all the little nothings and my parapet
i hope it's something that you don't forget

cadmium red is the ground beneath
cadmium orange, everything i see
cadmium yellow is the air i breathe
cadmium colors painted inside me
i can make autumn from a single leaf
steal a fine picture like a first class thief
make the water work like you won't believe
find a new world that can set you free
how could anybody ever live like me?

i spend my hours doing alchemy
i make a life refining zinc inside the smeltery
it's not exactly where i want to be
but wanting doesn't matter when there's mouths to feed
i wish that i could paint a pretty picture of a fantasy
and turn a feeling to a living for my family
instead i make the metals in the pigments in my reverie
and maybe that can be enough for me

oh, isn't it funny facing destiny?
it's like a knife inside twisting my arteries
god, i want for nothing but identity
i think that something might be wrong with me

cadmium red is the ground beneath
cadmium orange, everything i see
cadmium yellow is the air i breathe
cadmium colors painted inside me
antegrade fever, 101 degrees
shatter my body with a gentle breeze
dammit, i am real and i have my dreams
watch me burn brighter 'til i fail to breathe
how could anybody ever live like me?

(baby, do you know what it's like to die?)
(to see the sparkle fade from inside your eye?)
i can't remember what it's like to feel autonomy
can't even feel it in the moments that you left to me
(i don't wanna leave with a work undone)
(the paint can barely dry 'fore it fills my lungs)
i keep a bullet in the chamber, mocking me
but i don't wanna feel it coming out of me
i don't want-

i spend my hours doing alchemy
i mix my yellows and my blues to make a shade of green
chasing impossible philosophy
and hoping that this poison ain't the death of me

cadmium red is the ground beneath
cadmium orange, everything i see
cadmium yellow is the air i breathe
cadmium colors painted inside me
i can make autumn from a single leaf
steal a fine picture like a first class thief
make the water work like you won't believe
find a new world that can set you free
how could anybody ever live like-

(baby, do you know what you wanna hear?)
('cause you can say the word, make it oh so clear)
we're all just searching for a sense of solidarity
to hold each other close and confiscate our destiny
(no one wants to leave with a work undone)
(we only need a brush we can pass along)
i kept a bullet in the chamber for a rainy day
but what's the point in planning for it anyway?
i've got too many colors for a shade of grey
and i can make it autumn every single day!

Cadmium Colors

Lyrics :

Look isn't she clueless
Wouldn't you confuse us
Nah we're not together
We couldn't do better
"i couldn't do better..."
"bitch..."
Like i'm the villain of the week
couldn't make her meet and greet
can i be discrete with you, now?
you cant feel the fucking heat.
Its a want, thats what i needed
"Are you done, correct the feeling?"
"our love wont hit the cieling"

its that Shit man, shit man
Is that what it is?
shut the fuck up.
Torn up
I'm tired of giving in.
With every cord you've had to struck and every nerve that has been fucked
Bandaging me all inside?
I got nothing left to hide?
"FUCK!"
Man i'm being dumped 
"yeah it must've fucking sucked!"
"huh.?"
you would twist and turn the narrative
"and never would been seen"
If our love was THIS COMPETITIVE?!
"I'd given room to breathe"
"that wasn't what i mean.."

Its Like a kiss goodnight "thats what it is"
as Time would pass us by "go take a hit"
Telling me it'll be alright?!
"Im not giving up the fight.."
Can you not shut up for once 
 This time i was in the right

its Like a kiss goodnight "thats what it is"
as Time would pass us by "go take a hit"
Telling me it'll be alright?!
"Im not giving up the fight.."
Can you not shut up for once
 This time i was in the right

"THATS WHY IM RIGHT!"

Lyrics : x2

Now that i'm stuck in my bed
Disturbed writing my brain
Rewired feeling my pain
(Guess that's how it is so)
For once, i shouldn't care
To share? Fuck this commune down
Its rubbish, (Nay i say?)
No it wasn't fair

I've lost a handful, of people
Tiring it in legal, It was a nail in the coffin shew tore in and struck the needle.
I had the option, i took it and where did it leave I
In my own desires
Wouldn't you leave me to die

If i could start it all again
That shit, i wouldn't send
For another kiss goodbye
I wouldn't have to try
And if it was so easy (ooh)
I would've given in to you
And if it wasn't so easy (ooh)
"We could've have tried"

It was the writing on the wall
I made the effort
I couldn't help her
Reciting its the call?
There wasn't time
i couldn't find?
Can you take the Fall?
As i say good night and bye
Leave you with a light
I'm done putting up a fight
"No this isn't my fight"
