Forbidden Colours

Watch the Video here


The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe

Here am i, a lifetime away from you
The blood of christ, or the beat of my heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes

Senseless years thunder by
Millions are willing to give their lives for you
Does nothing live on?

Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me
My hands in the soil, buried inside of myself
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again

Ill go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything
Here am i, a lifetime away from you
The blood of christ, or a change of heart

My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again


Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Sylvian
From the movie Merry Christmas Mister Lawrence

    VBS Thanks Marie :) Sometimes I like to really wash some of my photography out, because it focuses more on the main subject without a heap of distractions to lead the eye away, you know? :) I don’t always do that though ;) VBS
