Colours Run - On My Side lyrics

I'm playing the game with earthquakes around me

Shaking my novice heart

The pieces have have fallen, we've all forgotten

Where we're supposed to start

Well, you've got the guns and I've got the money

Maybe we should make a stand

We'll use the confusion, break all the rules

And win it with a losing hand

What I found was painfully enlightening

Like a shot, right between my eyes

Cos it hurts trying to do the right thing

When the monsters are all on your side

So I'm dancing on ashes, drinking and giddy

High as a silver swan

You got the guts and I got the glory

How could anything go wrong

Well one day you left me lost in the rubble

Tapping out an S.O.S.

The higher you drift, the swifter you crumble

Crushed by your own success

Now what I found was painfully enlightening

Like a shot right between my eyes

Cos it hurts just trying to do the right thing

When the monsters are all on your side

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Could you ease this hunger

Why do I even wonder

Still alive the quiet morning after

The night, the night I should have died

And I can't believe I've got my absolution

Only to find I slept through half my life

So I'd like to thank you for your kindness

When you bled and severed all our ties

Now my friends drag me from the ashes

Of the monsters on my side

On my side
