lyrics

He went out late last night
With some friends of his that might
Say that he’s reserved
You don’t believe in love, they said
You may as well be dead
He didn’t say a word
In fact he don’t say much at all
silently he will crawl
Underneath your bed
He’s deep in mystery
Got no history
Just a voice inside your head
You’re caught inside the wake
where hearts no longer break
Just a game for all to play
where all you feel is shades of grey
Barroom and smoky haze
Detached disinterested gaze
Did you come here alone?
Too drunk to really care
Sober enough to climb your stairs
Turn off the phone
Her roommate’s still awake
Looks and hints that indicate
He’s not here for you
Pass pictures on her wall
When she was just a kid and all
She’d be scared of what they’re gonna do
Turn out the lights so you can’t see
just becoming shapes to be
You call out a name
But all you feel is shades of grey
Sunlight on your bed,
Jackhammer in his head
Gently free your arm
Clothes bunched up in a fist
out the door before you’re missed
Hope you’ve done no harm
BART station smells like piss
Gotta put a stop to this
Another perfect awful day
where all you feel is shades of grey
