Never Fade


I feel like a part of it all.

The world used to stand so tall.

But we were so quick to fall.

We hung ourselves. We paved the way.

We shot ourselves. We turned to gray.

The music silenced. But you will hear me say.

 I am Indigo.

I am a rainbow.

I am my own shade.

I will never fade.

It's a feeling deep in my bones.

Silent death but sweet were the tones.

They won't kill my mind.

My soul they will not find.

I am another kind.

I am Indigo.

I am a rainbow.

I am my own shade.

I will never fade.

Maybe I've already lost all control.

Maybe they've already got my soul.

I'll just keep dancing and singing.

They won't take everything.

Let my colors still ring.

I am Indigo.

I am a rainbow.

I am my own shade.

I will never fade.

 I'm still dancing around.

Leaving my heart in the ground.

I'm still bleeding inside.

I die while speaking my mind.
