World In Grey

I'm so good at hiding whats underneath

But I only reflect what I want you to see

I'll take what I can find

Reframe this state of mind

And ignore the words of spite that make me feel worthless

Another day sleeping in too late

I repress the pain and hope I get some relief

Slowly starting to fade

But the colour remains

I am an optimist, and I see the world in grey

Discretion must have lost its place

Between these dull white walls to form a barricade

To close an open mind

Distort the wrong from right

And reject who's unalike, because you can't accept

I've come unstuck

From all that I've been taught

You're out of luck

Because I'm not what you want

You broke my trust

When you swore you'd protect me

But all I've got were these scarring memories

Another day sleeping in too late

I repress the pain and hope I get some relief

Slowly starting to fade

But the colour remains

I am an optimist, and I see the world in grey

On the edge I can finally see

Just how much your words cut through me

But I won't be held back by all I've ever known'

So I pick myself up and stand fine on my own

I hate the permanence, but I'll guess I'll work with it

It's stuck inside my head

And what can I say, I'll take it day-by-day

In light of these open eyes

You still find a way to pollute my life

And it shows

I know that someday I'll make it out

But for now hardship takes its toll (hardship takes its toll)

I hate the permanence, but I'll guess I'll work with it

It's stuck inside my head

What the fuck can I say, I'll take it day-by-day

Because I am an optimist and I see the world in grey

Slowly starting to fade

But the colour remains
