Mostly Grey

I used to be so beautiful-

I used to build with my own hands.

But I sold it away-

I sold it away.

I used to know the taste of tears-

I found a way to sell my fears.

And I sold them away-

I sold them away.

I used to be-

I used to be-

Here.

I used to care about the fight-

And I fought so hard I broke my light.

Now it's fading away-

It's fading away.

Don't fade away-

Don't go away-

Please.

I drown myself a thousand times-

I live and breathe between these lines.

And when it shakes, I wash away-

And all that's left is mostly grey.

I've locked myself inside a thought-

I tried to hide, but I got caught.

Can't be undone; no more to say-

And all that's left is mostly grey.

I used to think I had no end-

But all I see is break-

And I'd bend.
