Where Have All The Colours Gone?

I'm scared, what's happening?
Darkness blankets my world!
It's black and hot in here; I can't breathe!
Where Have All The Colours Gone?

Shaking, I search my soul;
What hurts next?  What keeps me here
In stagnant darkness, I wait
I cannot see the colours anymore...

I cry out, in fear overwhelmed
By the horrors of new truths,
And I sink, deeper still, into darkness.
I cannot see the colours anymore...

I must help myself to be free, to live

Without haunting memories
That keep me here in fear and shame....
I cannot see the colours anymore...
