Still Black Lyrics - Anacrusis

My touch means nothing, it's just a sympathetic mock embrace 

This pity for you leaves nothing but a bitter taste 

Persistent lies, nothing but useless words of waste 

You voice seems harmless through these softened tones of grey 

But grey is still black 

Your face is nothing but a transparent fixture 

Perception is nothing but a distorted picture 

Expectations are taking in the deceptive mixture 

Your substance is nothing but a lightened shade of grey 

But grey is still black 

A carousel of vanity 

Apparently persuading me 

Still all the while evading me 

Accepting all, believing none 

Always pretending we are one 

So meaningless

Intentions mean nothing, it's only for the one inside 

Regression prevented, carried on the truthless tide 

Cold breath, mistaken, whispers with a senseless pride 

Your front is nothing, nothing but misted cloud of grey 

But grey is still black 

Your face is nothing but a transparent fixture 

Perception is nothing but a distorted picture 

Expectations are taking in the deceptive mixture 

Your substance is nothing but a lightened shade of grey 

But grey is still black 

A carousel of vanity 

Apparently persuading me 

Still all the while evading me 

Accepting all, believing none 

Always pretending we are one 

So meaningless

Your face is nothing... 

Perception is nothing... 

Expectations are taking... 

Your substance is nothing but a lightened shade of grey 

But grey is still black
