A haze that covers me, allows this heart to see The black and white can come and go. The lines I’ve drawn define a peace I cannot find The grey returns to free my soul. It gets so hard to breathe inside my reverie Heaven and hell I can’t divide It gets so hard to see when ashes fall on me This smoking gun I hold inside The grey returns And feeds the flame upon the burns I swore I’d crushed the embers But the spark it never dies, it lies. And the grey returns. The scars of battle past create a fragile mask Belies regrets within my mind Like wax it melts away each time I see a face That blurs the pain I left behind.
