Here is a scale, weigh it out and you will find easily

 More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see

 Were picked in advance by some careful hand

 With an absolute concept of beauty

 They are smeared and these blurs come in random order

 To color the eyes of your former lovers

 Hers were green like July except when she cried

 They were red

 Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat

 You contract it the day you accept all you see

 Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be

 A reflection of something we're missing

 And language just happened, it was never planned

 And it's inadequate to describe where I am

 In the room of my house where the light has never been

Waiting for this day to end

 And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore

Everything that we hate or adore

 Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more

 So tell me then, what was it for?

 Oh tell me, what was it for?
