Grey Street
Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street
She thinks, â"š¬í…"Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t get out of this placeâ"š¬?
Thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s an emptiness inside her
And sheâ"š¬â"ž¢d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
Though she swears it doesnâ"š¬â"ž¢t listen
Thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s still a hope in her "HE" might
She says, â"š¬í…"I pray
Oh, but they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself
To get out of this place?â"š¬?
Oh thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s a loneliness inside her
And sheâ"š¬â"ž¢d do anything to fill it in
And though itâ"š¬â"ž¢s red blood bleeding from her now
It felt like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
There's a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
And make them as real as anything
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢d take the work out of the courage
She says, â"š¬í…"Please
Thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s a crazy man, he's creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the worldâ"š¬?
Thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s an emptiness inside her
And sheâ"š¬â"ž¢d do anything to fill it in
And though itâ"š¬â"ž¢s red blood bleeding from her now
It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey
