    When memories are monochrome
    When everything is faded
    and memories are monochrome,
    all that's left to do
    is caring for what's gone.

    They once adored to forget:
    the past they buried beneath the snow.
    But when the future seemed not to set
    they had nowhere to go.

    Not even with eyes closed
    could they feel the minutes gone by
    and when the truth of the     wasted years was exposed
    no lace of life they couldn't untie.
