Black And White

Neon in my teeth, static in my spine
Everyone's preaching shades while they blur the line

You say it's all a spectrum, but I'm going blind
Too many colors, now the truth can't shine
Paint over pain with a pastel lie
Call it compassion while you monetize

I miss the edges, I miss the cut
When right had a backbone and wrong drew blood

Take back the black and white, burn out the glare
Truth doesn't bend just cause you're scared
I won't be dazzled by your neon light
Turn off the rainbow, see black or white

(Kill the noise tonight)

You sell confusion like a sacred art
Filters and prisms just to dodge the heart
If every color is a perfect fit
Then nothing matters and we all submit

I want the fracture, I want the frame
Lines that define us, not dazzle us lame

Take back the black and white, burn out the glare
Truth doesn't bend just cause you're scared
I won't be dazzled by your neon light
Turn off the rainbow, see black or white

I've been color-washed, glossed, lost in confetti
You call it nuance, I call it heavy
When every shade is safe, nobody's ready
So we celebrate blur while the core turns petty
Switch click, hats roll, facts cold
Backspace grace till the past molds
Every palette a palace for passive souls
But balance ain't ballast when the mast folds
Line in the sand, now it's canceled
Fences painted, stance dismantled
I want contrast, hand to anvil
Truth in the blast like a lit black candle

Cut the tint
Draw the line
No more prisms in my mind

Maybe I'm harsh, but I'm still alive
Clarity hurts, yeah, that's the price
Bleed out the hues, keep what survives
I'll take the pain if it means real eyes

Pull back the gloss, let the edges bite
Spines in grayscale, I choose to fight
Truth doesn't bargain with a frightened mind
It stands like granite when the lights go blind
Kill the carnival glow, starve the glare tonight
Bleach out the noise till the bones read right
I won't be dazzled by your neon rites
Flip the switch, see contrast, black or white
No prism prison, no painted alibi
Cut through the candy, let the core survive
If color is comfort, then comfort is the lie
Shut down the rainbow
Choose black or white
