Eating Colours

Lyrics

[Intro] I be eating colours when my days are grey Looking to the bottle to go wash it away Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint [Verse 1] Yeah, I eat, so I wash away the grey One treat, ain't no longer feeling pain I see that it causes more than saves But I know that I'm slave to how it tastes It shows through stress and gaining weight Lost in the depths of takeaways I've made a mess with stains of paint Keep dragging on day to day I don't smoke or drink, I do sweets Can't help noticing that I'm weak Keep on opening a can of coke or drink And then hoping that I don't sleep When I get the urge, I can't breathe Just a messenger to my needs When I'm stressed at work, I gon' get desserts And then let it hurt when I eat I've been trying hard, but then like a charm, I'm left on the ground with a pizza With no fighting chance in my mind or heart, I gon' drink the dyes by the liter My desires can't be retired fast when I rummaging like a creature I got debuffs on me, no features, I've lost everything to the dealer [Pre-Chorus] I be eating colours when my days are grey Looking to the bottle to go wash it away Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint [Chorus] I be eating colours when my days are grey Looking to the bottle to go wash it away Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name Add another tally to my list of mistakes Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint, 'cause I'll be eating pain [Verse 2] Yeah When I'm sad, I medicate with junk Rip the pack, another gateway drug Overdose, I'm doing way too much It's my tainted love Lose myself, and I drain the cup Little pills with a playful touch In my mouth, and I take it rough Primary colours, I wanted to yellow, but blue out my lungs 'till I'm red in the face Health coming second, I'm chugging that orange 'till I'm feeling green, and I'm letting it spray Coming out violet, I said I'm OK, I have to finish what's left on the plate I'm eating colours, they're mixing inside me, and I can not stop 'till I'm dead in my grave [Chorus] I be eating colours when my days are grey Looking to the bottle to go wash it away Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name Add another tally to my list of mistakes Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint, 'cause I'll be eating paint [Bridge] It's such a childish thing for me to do I'm piling plates until I'm drowning in a sea of food They say that we're defined, but what we eat and we consume I hope that I'll be better, I hope this isn't true [Pre-Chorus] I be eating colours when my days are grey Looking to the bottle to go wash it away Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name Add another tally to my list of mistakes Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint [Chorus] I be eating colours when my days are grey Looking to the bottle to go wash it away Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name Add another tally to my list of mistakes Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint, 'cause I'll be eating paint
