lyrics
VERSE 1
I used to see the world in colors
I used to hold my hands up high
But now I bruise so tenderly in black and white
Fading slowly, I can barely see myself
They tell me their versions of my future
They tell me that home is somewhere here
I quickly move from tragedy to tragedy
Until I see the world from eyes that save
CHORUS
I'm laying down all of the things the world just wants me to be
I'm letting go of all the things that have let go of me
And now I lay down all the memories that set me free
And now I'm letting all my hopes and dreams come true before me.
VERSE 2
So many things the world is throwing at my feet
From way up here the air is quite thin
But all I wanted was to live in the light
To be sober to all this heaviness inside
I used to see the world in colors
I used to hold my hands up high
But now I bruise so tenderly in black and white
Fading slowly, I can barely see myself
They tell me their versions of my future
They tell me that home is somewhere here
I quickly move from tragedy to tragedy
Until I see the world from eyes that save
CHORUS
I'm laying down all of the things the world just wants me to be
I'm letting go of all the things that have let go of me
And now I lay down all the memories that set me free
And now I'm letting all my hopes and dreams come true before me.
VERSE 2
So many things the world is throwing at my feet
From way up here the air is quite thin
But all I wanted was to live in the light
To be sober to all this heaviness inside

Friends and Foes
by Tim Be Toldsupported by 8 fans who also own “I Used To See (Colors)”
Sometimes I really go for Christian rock - not only because of the heartwarming lyrics, but because it frequently involves exquisite melodies and arrangements. Tim Ouyang aka "Tim Be Told" is an undisputable master of this genre, especially when it comes to ballads. With the mind-blowing selection of songs on "Friends and Foes", he certainly found much more new friends than foes.

This unfailingly is the song I go to when I feel attacked, discouraged, defenseless, vulnerable, torn up, beaten, ashamed, miserable, emotionless, etc. Incredible track...

Love and Happiness
by Tim Be Toldsupported by 5 fans who also own “I Used To See (Colors)”
A magical collection. Each track hits home like nothing else I've heard all year. Tim accomplishes what few (arguably more popular) artists have, trading formula for nuance. Every artistic risk pays off. The holy blend of genres Tim pulls off here may not be for everyone, but I find it the musical equivalent of what Kafka calls great art: it smashes the frozen sea inside us. This album is an immense and bighearted gift to the world. (Impossible to choose a favorite track.)
