In Between Shades

Hey there Mr. Blue
 I know everything you need
 Don't have to scratch the skin
 To watch the colors bleed
 It gets mangled in translation
 Indigo aquamarine
 And I'm scraping up the ashes
 Just to hold on to the flame
 Bending over backwards
 Just to stay in the game
 Mr. Blue
 Let's pretend it's all okay now
 Let's pretend it still feels good
 Let's pretend we got this world on a string
 Like they promised we would
 Mr. Blue
 Hey there Mr. Blue
 I know everything you are
 No need to excavate again
 We've already dug too far
 Cause I've been kicked around for so long lately
 I wear these wounds upon my sleeve
 And I'm scraping up the ashes
 Just to resurrect the flame
 Bending over backwards
 But it all feels the same
 Mr. Blue
 Let's pretend it's all okay now
 Let's pretend it still feels good
 Let's pretend we got this world on a string
 Like they promised we would
 Mr. Blue
 Let's pretend it all feels fine today
 Let's pretend that I'm not still
 Caught in the grey
 Making my way
 In between shades
 I'm just in between shades
 Hey there Mr. Blue
 I know everything you feel
 It's when we close our eyes
 That we can see for real
 Mr. Blue
 Let's pretend it's all okay now
 Let's pretend it still feels good
 Let's pretend we got this world on a string
 Like they said that we would
 Mr. Blue
 Let's pretend it all feels fine today
 Let's pretend that I'm not still
 Caught in the grey
 Cause it's just another day like today
 In between shades
