Colours in My Ear

Chromesthesia

A soft cobalt blue is center stage

It started off small but it’s glow grew, now covering my

mind

A span of cobalt blue is how I feel

no.

What I see, when the lights are off

And when the music is low, the bass pulsing through my veins

I see blue, and yes it’s kind of crazy to think true

And when the track changes,

So do the colours you see I

perceive things differently. It feels like a well kept secret

From the rest of the world

If I’d brought it up mid conversation

As the rain ticks against the window

Subtle flashes of white hide behind the

cobalt blue

You might think I’m crazy, that I’ve delved too deep into

The cobalt blue sea

When I first looked in, I don’t think I ever found a way out

My life is cobalt blue

The music I blast in my ears make a lightshow in my mind

And makes me feel like I’ve unlocked a new level to

experience my life,

my life is cobalt blue.
