The Republic Tigers - Keep Color

.
We've been waiting all our lives
For things we've always had
But have no eyes to see.
Something new is going to happen,
The most natural thing
But nothing we'd expect.
All these buildings and mountains,
Slowly they'll arise
Before our eyes.
How do cities understand?
We drink our wine, and wonder why we're really here.
Whats the point of even asking?
We take the good and bad
And make the best of it.
All these buildings and mountians,
Slowly they'll arise
Before our eyes.
Have you watched the cities move?
Does nature fall before
This age of industry?
For today I'll let it go
You've been good to me,
Have I been good to you?
All these building and mountains,
Slowly they'll arise
Before our eyes

My hands are cracking
The blood won't run
The ice will keep it all inside
All we got left is just to pray
The newest lines
Running on my face have found their place to lay
And now I know
We can't stay here
We gotta move
So we can counter-stimulate
Marching into the syncopated cold
It's orchestrated to play till we give up
And just grow old
We'll continue our pursuit on through the snow
Weather beaten we keep on keeping on
It's all we know
Cause I can see the lighthouse
We can see the lighthouse
My skin is slacking
The pigmentation
Proving life is on the line
Change the diet to better play
These games
They really do you in
When you're making up
Your own rules
We're thrown the pitches that curve
But we'll stand up tall
And live intimidating life
The coast will clear up
The sun will beat down on our chest
And we'll win the right to
Help our friends
With more than two tied hands and cold feet
We'll stimulate
Marching into the syncopated cold
It's orchestrated to play till we give up
And just grow old
We'll continue our pursuit on through the snow
Weather beaten we keep on keeping on
It's all we know
Stimulate
Marching into the syncopated cold
It's orchestrated to play till we give up
And just grow old
We'll continue our pursuit on through the snow
Weather beaten we keep on keeping on
It's all we know
Weather beaten
Weather beaten
We keep on keeping on
It's all we know
Cause I can see the lighthouse
We can see the lighthouse

Cause really what's the worst thing
That could happen?
Go make your move.
There you are.
And here I am.
I have to make that clear
In my own mind
So I know where to begin this.
And I know you're leavin soon,
I'm busy as can be
So it wouldn't really make much sense to me.
But your eyes are dumbin' me down
And I can't take mine off of you.
So how's about spendin' half a day
Underneath a tree losin' leaves?
Who knows if they'll grow back again?
Say you will,
Or that you wish you could, convincingly.
Cause you're makin' me feel like I'm a real live
Human boy.
And she said, What's that you got?
Robotic insides?
I know I'm not black blooded
So we should dance right now
And wisen up later.
My view of you is cuttin' through
The bitter storms of the sea.
Them clouds ain't strong now as they sounded.
Let's just drive,
I wanna see
What the wind does to your hair.
Would you take a drive?
Say you will,
Or that you wish you could, convincingly.
Cause you're helpin' me remember
What it's like to have feelings like a normal human.
And she said, What's that you got?
Robotic insides?
I know I'm not black blooded
So we should dance right now
And wisen up a little later.
My view of you is cuttin' through
The bitter storms of the sea.
Your eyes are dumbin' me down
And I can't take mine off of you.
Let's just drive,
I wanna see
What the wind does to your hair.
Would you take a drive?
Take a drive, Take a drive
