lyrics

she says the lesson it is born of pain
you gotta call the phoenix by its name
i guess i'll burst into a ball of flame

for i am chroma
like we are chroma

i guess i'll burst into a ball of flame
so that i may be born again

red and blue and green
can you tell me what they mean
you've got to tell me what they mean
won't you tell me what they mean
i've got to know just what they mean

enveloped in water of life
the sky ripples with rainbow light
knows you like you don't know yourself
she starts to pull away in fright
her rules have all been compromised
clutches her definition tight
that it's impossible

red and blue and green
is that really all they mean
that's something i just can't believe
i won't stop searching for the dream
can you tell me what they mean

chroma comes to tend the tides
in fractal countenance confides
to fatalistic black and white
to she that dreams in monochrome
the colors are a ghostly home
yet strangely it's impossible
it has to be impossible

but are you really going to tell me that it's so
are you really going to tell me that it's so unlikely
