Shades of Blue Lyrics by Matthew Fredrick (Matthias)

2011

[Chorus]
If I do what I came to do
I’ll break through in shades of blue
In red and gold the lights will flash and strobe
And I will finally know this is my home
[Verse 1]
You got me sitting on my hands, man
I can do this dance, man
Wasn’t in the plan to stand idle
Well I can’t take it now by this homicidal tidal wave of idols
Mm, I am the game plan
Sick of being the too late man
The straight man in this room full of comedians
I can make a joke and not choke, man
Yeah, it’s funny, laugh, I can get used that
At least I’m not the one coming in last
Risks up ahead I’ve got to accept
I could have everything or nothing could be less
So Imma gonna go ahead and say the unsaid
Either way fame will let us straight
I’m gonna end up dropping dead
But instead of wasting my, biding my time
Gonna go climb as high as I can climb
And never look ahead even though
I don’t know if I can take this overflow
I’m gonna grab by life the throat and never let it go
[Chorus]
If I do what I came to do
I’ll break through in shades of blue
In red and gold the lights will flash and strobe
And I will finally know this (yeah, this is my home) is my home
[Verse 2]
The future is fragile
Good thing my personality is agile
In sickness and in health
In poorness and in wealth
The only roadblock in front of me is myself
So negative thoughts, put them on the back burner
Dreams up front
This could be a page turner
I’m a fast learner
So it’s back to school for me to read the tools, the ground rules
So get up on the stool to reach a chalk
So you can show me what you’ve got
You’re shell shocked, brains locked
Can’t even get a single word across
I believe they call it writer’s block
You’re looking at the clock, time’s up
Round up, staring at the board
See a sea of words with the word fate underscored
It was meant to be this way, you’re too late
I look up at your face and I see myself
Wait, let me get this straight
I’m you, you’re me
Now I see I just killed the old me
[Chorus]
If I do what I came to do
I’ll break through in shades of blue
In red and gold the lights will flash and strobe
And I will finally know this is my home
[Outro]
They say you’ve got to fake it (you’ve got to fake it til you make it) til you make it (til you make it or break it)
But trust me, I don’t gotta fake this
They say you’ve gotta focus (you’ve gotta focus so you lose it)
They won’t notice (? ain’t gonna notice)
But trust me, they are gonna notice
