I paint this wall shades of grey,
I have no thought in mind of what im trying to portray.
A secret message I want to convey,
but the message is fading away.

I live off the light of the cigarettes in the ashtray,
the only light ive seen for days.
She turned off all of the lights in this place,
but still I cant help but stay awake.

So much love and hate,
but im sick of the smile she holds on her face.
Lets bury the truth in lace,
before we do anything in haste.

Im walking at a steady pace,
shes behind but I refuse to wait.
Tired of waiting so I went astray,
maybe thats why im so alone today.

I give but dont take,
one of my many mistakes.
But why point them out when im already about to break?
Why do you break me down when im already in pain?

I cant help but think this is my fate,
I cant quite decide what I am trying to create.
This feeling will not shake.
Is it that maybe, just maybe, im afraid?

Afraid of the world as it is today.
All alone, I guess I have to be brave.
I cant look your way,
because I cant stand your disdain.

So I guess ill live off what remains,
because every single day we are away,
I start to feel a little more sane.
Maybe thats because, we wernt ment to live this way.
