Tragedy Of The Monochrome Man

Lazarus Blackstar


Lost control of all my senses 
Lost control of my mind 
I never thought it would go this far 
And I apologise 
Whatever happened to my self esteem? 
Just take a look at me now 
Oh, the tragedy of me 
I'm the Monochrome Man 

But I am the prisoner 
The one you lock the door behind 
Now I take a look at it 
Take a better look at things 

Pleasure, pain 
The same mistakes again 
I do it for the company 
All for your company 

Scream my name 
Your face still remains 
Cos I know I know you'll never leave 
I know you'll never leave me… 
Alone 

Nobody ever leaves me on my own 

But take a look at me now 
I'm the Monochrome Man 
It's the tragedy of me cos 
I'm the Monochrome Man 

But take a look at me now 
Take a look at who's laughing now 

My god can't help me now 

Locked inside my own four walls 
I'm too scared to go outside 
Live a like a rat in this stinking hole 
But I've never felt so alive 
Never taken seriously 
I get by with all I can 
All I ask is you stay with me here 
With the Monochrome Man 

But I am not the guilty 
It's the way that you created me 
Now you are responsible 
I'm your responsibility 

My new obsession 
My fucking possession 
But I can't control the images 
Can't control the images 
Look at my face 
Now look at my face! 
Cos I know you're never leaving 
I know you'll never leave me… 
Alone 

Nobody ever leaves me on my own 

But take a look at me now 
I'm the Monochrome Man 
It's the tragedy of me cos 
I'm the Monochrome Man 

But take a look at me now 
Take a look at who's laughing now 
Take a look at me now
