Point of Reference - Green Lyrics

I'm chasing thoughts that might be lies
I'm paranoid as I watch your eyes
They wander - fill me with butterflies
As I watch you watch me fossilize
I'm standing still, I can't confess
It's on the line, but nevertheless
I watch you watch me, unimpressed
All these thoughts inside my head are a mess

My eyes only see green
I used to think colorfully
My tongue is on fire
I only speak when I'm preaching to the choir
My eyes only see green
I used to think colorfully

My most dangerous weapon's inside my chest
It aches and turns, leaves me depressed
It runs on fumes of my regrets
It plagues me like an unwanted guest
An unwanted guest in this house I've built
This house I've built, it starts to tilt
Pouring out thoughts of shame and guilt
If these thoughts were a tree, it would surely wilt

My eyes only see green
I used to think colorfully
My tongue is on fire
I only speak when I'm preaching to the choir
My eyes only see green
I used to think colorfully

I'm disappointed, but not surprised
I lie awake till the sunrise
My mind it runs and trips and cries
As I think about a thousand lies
A thousand lies to hide what's true
What's true about myself and you
The amount of interest to pursue
It leans towards me but never you

My eyes only see green
I used to think colorfully
My tongue is on fire
I only speak when I'm preaching to the choir
My eyes only see green
I used to think colorfully
My eyes only see green
I used to think colorfully
My tongue is on fire
I only speak when I'm preaching to the choir
My eyes only see green
I used to think colorfully
