"Eating Colours" lyrics

I be eating colours when my days are grey
Looking to the bottle to go wash it away
Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

Yeah, I eat, so I wash away the grey
One treat, ain't no longer feeling pain
I see that it causes more than saves
But I know that I'm slave to how it tastes
It shows through stress and gaining weights
Lost in the depths of takeaways
I've made a mess with stains of paint
Keep dragging on day to day
I don't smoke or drink, I do sweets
Can't help noticing that I'm weak
Keep on opening a can of coke or drink
And then hoping that I don't sleep
When I get the urge, I can't breathe
Just a messenger to my needs
When I'm stressed at work, I gon' get desserts
And then let it hurt when I eat
I've been trying hard, but then like a charm, I'm left on the ground with a pizza
With not fighting chance in my mind or heart, I gon' drink the dyes by the liter
My desires can't be retired fast when I rummaging like a creature
I got debuffs on me, no features, I've lost everything to the dealer

I be eating colours when my days are grey
Looking to the bottle to go wash it away
Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

I be eating colours when my days are grey
Looking to the bottle to go wash it away
Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint
Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name
Add another tally to my list of mistakes
Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint, 'cause I'll be eating pain

Yeah
When I'm sad, I medicate with junk
Rip the pack, another gateway drug
Overdose, I'm doing way too much
It's my tainted love
Lose myself, and I drain the cup
Little pills with a playful touch
In my mouth, and I take it rough
Primary colours, I wanted to yellow, but blue out my lungs 'till I'm red in the face
Health coming second, I'm chugging that orange 'till I'm feeling green, and I'm letting it spray
Coming out violet, I said I'm OK, I have to finish what's left on the plate
I'm eating colours, they're mixing inside me, and I can not stop 'till I'm dead in my grave

I be eating colours when my days are grey
Looking to the bottle to go wash it away
Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint
Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name
Add another tally to my list of mistakes
Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint, 'cause I'll be eating paint

It's such a childish thing for me to do
I'm piling plates until I'm drowning in a sea of food
They say that we're defined, but what we eat and we consume
I hope that I'll be better, I hope this isn't true

I be eating colours when my days are grey
Looking to the bottle to go wash it away
Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint
Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name
Add another tally to my list of mistakes
Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint

I be eating colours when my days are grey
Looking to the bottle to go wash it away
Say I need another, but it's more than I'd take
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint
Blocking out the voices when they're saying my name
Add another tally to my list of mistakes
Mix it all together, and we'll see what I'll make
I be eating colours, no, I be eating paint, 'cause I'll be eating paint
