Open eyes
roll out of bed again
and go through the motions
awake and unconscious.
look in the mirror
there I am again
feeling so empty
the greyest shade of sick.
sometimes my eyes deceive
I try not to blink
I think I see the beauty again
has it returned?
then it's gone; the moment's lost
sinking all over again
this false sense of hope is far too much.
I can only run so far before I tire and fall
falling again and again I stay down.
I wish I was someone
I wish I was something
I wish they could see me again
I was trying too hard
Fall apart, like so many broken hearts
Infect my mind, like so many left behind
Cross my heart, as I hope to die
Twisting the knife so slowly
As I crawl away again
I want to be no one
I want to be nothing
I want to be invisible
Until my tears have dried
Fall apart, like so many broken hearts
Infect my mind, like so many left behind
Cross my heart, as I hope to die
Twisting the knife so slowly
As I crawl away again
Crawl away...into one more day
Just another shade of grey
roll out of bed again
and go through the motions
awake and unconscious.
look in the mirror
there I am again
feeling so empty
the greyest shade of sick.
sometimes my eyes deceive
I try not to blink
I think I see the beauty again
has it returned?
then it's gone; the moment's lost
sinking all over again
this false sense of hope is far too much.
I can only run so far before I tire and fall
falling again and again I stay down.
I wish I was someone
I wish I was something
I wish they could see me again
I was trying too hard
Fall apart, like so many broken hearts
Infect my mind, like so many left behind
Cross my heart, as I hope to die
Twisting the knife so slowly
As I crawl away again
I want to be no one
I want to be nothing
I want to be invisible
Until my tears have dried
Fall apart, like so many broken hearts
Infect my mind, like so many left behind
Cross my heart, as I hope to die
Twisting the knife so slowly
As I crawl away again
Crawl away...into one more day
Just another shade of grey
