The Facades - Monochrome Lyrics

One day I had a nightmare
That I couldn't see
The omnipresent horror
But dysphoria allieved
The devil in a three-piece suit
A monster in a dress
The world around me ordering
Who I should dance with next
Now I don't know who you are
But I sure as hell know me
I'm not the painting of a perfect
Little groom-to-be
The night has been fantastic
And you're fantastic too
But I am a work in progress
Not ready to transform you

We are the monochrome, locked within what people know
Into a world where gender is a curse (Where gender is the law)
But if you watch me for a little longer
You'll see I'll soon be monochrome no more
You'll see I'll soon be monochrome no more

There's a thing about the way we live
We show off who we can be until there's
Nothing more of us to give
There's a way to make it
Through this wicked world
Survival of the fittest, of the
Meanest, of the kindest too
And if you haven't felt like you've been
Trapped within your skin
Listened carefully to why your
Existence is a sin
Then beg for our forgiveness though it's
Never guaranteed cause the
World is so much brighter than your dualistic creed

We are the monochrome, locked within what people know
Into a world where gender is a curse (Where gender is the law)
But if you watch me for a little longer
You'll see I'll soon be monochrome no more
You'll see I'll soon be monochrome no more

Now you know it's not the easy way
But to the maelstrom I must go
I'll chart a course through the fog, through confusion and
Hate, but I'll be back, just wait and see

We were the monochrome, locked within what people know
Now to a world where gender flows like wine (Where gender flows like wine)
And if you watch me for a little longer
You'll see that I am monochrome no more
You'll see that I am monochrome no more
