Lyrics
Shades of Gray
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We came back to destroy
We came back to escape the path we knew
But we still don't have a clue
All the actions that we take
The common sense that's deep within ourselves
We exist but are we fake?
Yeah we should be holding on
OHHH but we keep on letting go
CHORUS
Show me what (it's like to seize the day)
Tell me why (we always run away)
We've got to face the facts before
We end up losing ground (inside these shades of gray)
Show me how (we let it slip away)
Tell me why (we always break away)
We've got to live our lives before
We end up losing ground (inside these shades of gray)
We contemplate ourselves
Self absorbed, our reflection's all we see
The riddles are left without answers still we keep on tryin'
To understand the mysteries
Like we're on a quest to evolution, revolution
Yeah we should be holding on
OHH but we keep on letting go
CHORUS
face the facts
k-k-k keep in mind
Everyone's got something to prove
And everyone's got something to lose
Yeah everyone's got something to lose
