Grey

You closed your eyes, a cold November night
You my lovely light of life, no more shining bright

As the autumn rain turned to bitter snow
I stood outside the world, with nowhere else to go

A thousand shades of grey
You erased my world that day
A thousand words to say
All lost in silence to fade away

Caring faces staring right at me
I can't stand their smothering empathy
Like maggots crawling upon rotten meat
A buffet of misery, all that you can eat

A thousand shades of grey
You erased my world that day
A thousand words to say
All lost in silence to fade away

A thousand shades of grey
A million moments passed away
A billion pieces of my heart
Spreading like ashes forever dark

You are not alone…
Your false sympathy makes me sick

You will get through…
There's no happy end to this life of shit

You must be strong…
As I put this rope around my neck

Time will heal…
The colors leave this broken wreck

A thousand shades of grey
My trail of tears ends here today

A thousand shades of grey
You erased my world that day
A thousand words to say
All lost in silence to fade away

A thousand shades of grey
A million moments passed away
A billion pieces of my heart
Spreading like ashes forever dark

No love, no light
Just shades of grey
