Life Is Grey

Only yesterday
I told myself that life is grey
Didn't make me sad
Made me feel human
Only yesterday
I told myself that love is green
Greener than the trees
Growing in my bedroom
Made me want to lose myself, lose myself
In a song about the Sun
Or the many things that I don't understand
Like I did since I was young
Made me want to open doors, sleep on floors
In a world outside your door
Watch a movie, play some piano
Write a sonnet, build an army
Let's build an army
Now will you love me?
Let's build an army
Only yesterday
I realised that tall, dark tomb
Punctuates the sky
A giant's exclamation
Shame on our beloved nation
The codes we send as ash into the sky
Oh, sorrow cure me from tiny glories
Now dig for beauty and build an army
Let's build an army
Now will you love me?
Then build an army
The truth is life is grey
The truth is times are strange
The truth is I'm okay
And you're beautiful
The truth is life is grey
The truth is times are strange
The truth is I'm okay
And you're beautiful
And you're beautiful
And you're beautiful
And you're beautiful
And you're beautiful
And you're beautiful
