Story Behind The Song

The song is written about a person who gave up on his dreams and ambitions, and now has a hollow existance living one day to the next in a daze. Bad choices.

Lyrics

Verse:
You've got smoke in your eyes and holes in your shoes.
Your home unknown, your soul is not your own, you've got nothing to lose.

Bridge:
'cos you broke your own imagination, it doesn't paint in colour in your head.
You threw it down and stamped the ground, when left for dead, the colours came out black and white and red.

Chorus:
Human behaviour's left behind, you carry a headstone through the night, you're tied to the grind you live so you can die.

Verse:
So paint by numbers for the rest of your days.
And never breach the surface, never let the danger in.

Bridge:
You feel no joy in loneliness, you feel no pain, you only feel the same thing.
Believe no fate and feel no hate just concentrate on floating in the boat you're sinking in.

Chorus:
Human behaviour's left behind, you carry a headstone through the night, you're tied to the grind you live so you can die.

Middle 8:
You take no comfort in a quiet room,
your weakness is incredible, it's terrible and cruel.
It's not so hard for you to take, another fake for fate to hate, you have no pride to feel the ache, you have no heart for me to break.

Chorus:
Human behaviour's left behind, you carry a headstone through the night, you're tied to the grind you live so you can die.

Chorus:
Human behaviour's left behind, you carry a headstone through the night, you're tied to the grind you live so you can die.

So paint by numbers.
