Color of Pain

(ahhhh) Clay in the palm,

we are carved of the earth

Breath in the lungs,

a brief wind at our birth

Time is a phantom,

a construct of glass

We live in the present,

while shadows still pass

For change is the river that carries our fear

Yet change is the constant that brings us all near We burn

in the fire, we dissolve in the rain

In the

ever-present, we bypass the pain (yeah)

The wind takes our ashes,

the earth keeps our bones

A blueprint of dust on these temporal thrones

We struggle to hold

what was never our own

A piece in the puzzle,

beautifully sown

We fear the transition,

the shift in the breeze

But water must flow to find peace in the seas (flow now,

flow now)

Letting you down gently

into the dark

We were a flash,

a magnificent spark (hmmm)

How sweet is the sting that reminds us we live

To break is the ultimate beauty we give If joy is the

bloom then the sorrow's the root And tears are the water

that sweetens the fruit

We thank the design for the dark and the day

Without the deep shadow,

the gold turns to gray

We burn in the fire,

we dissolve in the rain

In the ever-present, we welcome the pain

Carved of the earth (ahhhh)

We return to the clay
