The Colors After Gray

Oh would you look at that
I forgot to take my pills again
And now the world is all in shades of gray
The wine is bad, the food is plain
All I'm allowed to feel is pain
'Cause I forgot to take my pills again

And I know that I should take a pill
But I'm just lacking in the will
So that is how I'm gonna feel
My mind is light, my body ill
Until I can get a pill

And now the colors are all back
No more rope around my neck
I can see, smell and taste
No more wine will go to waste
I see the colors after gray

I don't care if it's all chemical
It just feels magical, whimsical
I can smile back at life
Steer clear of all strife
Feel the touch of a loving wife

Yes, I know the gray is there
Lurking, and waiting my despair
I need to always be aware
Of all these chains I have to wear
I will always need a pill

But now the colors are all back
No more rope around my neck
I can see, smell and taste
No more wine will go to waste
I see the colors after gray

Yes, now the colors are all back
No more rope around my neck
I can sing, smile and play
No more shadows in my day

I see the colors after gray
I see the colors after gray
