Face Down

Grey

Face Down


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
