I Live In Alabaster
I live in alabaster
Emptiness and cold
Use to live in a pattern of rainbow
There's no going back
To me thats's black and white
Maybe we can paint in grey just for the night
The walls are alabaster
The floor is marbled cold
But your turquoise eyes make me feel at home
Sapphire running down the side of my check
You fill the room with emerald every time you speak
So I'll demolish in yellow
And damage in red
Refurnish in blue then pick pink rooms instead
I'll burn it down with orange
Or teal
Or Chartreuse
Because I miss your purple
The color of you
