Flesh Tone

I was walking, was living 
My melody was acapella 
There’s a beat I was missing 
No tune, or a scale, I could play 
- 
The sound in the distance 
No orchestra playing together 
Like a boat out to sea, 
The silence was too deafening! 
- 
So come and revive me 
I can’t feel my heartbeat 
Just me surviving alone 
- 
(Chorus) 
Before you, 
My whole life was acapella! 
Now a symphony’s 
The only song to sing 
Before you, 
My whole life was acapella! 
Now a symphony’s 
The only song to sing 
- 
Everything was the same 
One color was just like the others 
An assembly routine 
My memories were all black and white 
Till I stopped over-thinking 
Decided to draw back the curtains 
And I cleared all the cobwebs 
And began to let in the light 
- 
So come and revive me 
I can’t feel my heartbeat 
Just me surviving alone 
- 
(Chorus) 
Before you, 
My whole life was acapella! 
Now a symphony’s 
The only song to sing 
Before you, 
My whole life was acapella! 
Now a symphony’s 
The only song to sing 
- 
(Bridge – 3X) 
You are the drum in my heart beat 
Bass and guitar lead 
Stuck on the notes you play 
My heart that you play on 
Grab like a crayon 
I can’t walk away 
- 
(Chorus – 2X) 
Before you, 
My whole life was acapella! 
Now a symphony’s 
The only song to sing 
Before you, 
My whole life was acapella! 
Now a symphony’s 
The only song to sing
