Shades of Grey

A bitter chill on my lips tonight As I'm pulled away, once again, by moonlight Everyone knows that everything has its price But it's up to you to judge the value of that sacrifice As the sun fades away To the backside of the day A single thread on this rope I tread To hold me in my place A new dark day surrounds me So hard to keep from falling Feels like I'm losing control Lonely nights getting so cold Shadows fall all around me A different shade of grey I gotta keep the will to fight Please just give me one more night Hands sifting through the dirt Going back to the grind Cigarettes keep burning To nullify my mind Memories linger from the past Complimenting cold Bitter sweet cinema Tearing at my soul The ticking of the clock Getting harder every day Constant beats of pressure Never seem to change Feel the beating, keep from falling It never stops, hear the calling Feel the beating, keep from falling It never stops, hear the calling Feel the beating, keep from falling It never stops, hear the calling Feel the beating, keep from falling It never stops, hear the calling The ticking of the clock Beating longer every day Prisoner of the night Knowing no escape A new dark day surrounds me So hard to keep from falling Feels like I'm losing control Lonely nights getting so cold Shadows fall all around me A different shade of grey I gotta keep the will to fight Please just give me one more night Fading night, my eyes are closing Blackened by the day Hope that comes with malintent And more of the same I whisper words to those above As I lay me down to sleep Final thoughts of a lonely night Bleeding into dreams of... Goodnight, sleep tight Rise again by moonlight Goodnight, sleep tight Rise again my moon
