Shades of Grey

Life is not a fiction

Still not used to that.

Moving in the right direction

Given my affection and my time

Sorting through the mess I made

Measuring the price I paid, Those wasted years.

Silver lines the skies above me,

Baby you can’t love me,

Others do.

These shades grey: it’s time that these memories were washed away.

Lights in the city go flashing by

There’s more to life than you.

These shades of grey: the surest thing to silhouette each single day.

Nights in the city go rushing by.

More to life than you.

You ask me what I came here for

I say I was invited

As you turn away.

There’s little more than consequences

Hangin’ from the ceilings and the walls.

And even if I chose to care

I doubt if it would register that I was even there.

Your eyes are filled with emptiness

The hatred of the moment

God forbid the day you filled my heart (rpt)

These shades grey: it’s time that these memories were washed away.

Lights in the city go flashing by

There’s more to life that you.

These shades of grey: the surest thing to silhouette each single day.

Nights in the city go rushing by.

More to life than you.
