Grey - Face Down

You closed your eyes a cold November night

You my lovely light of life, no more shining bright

As the autumn rain turned to bitter snow

I stood outside the world, with nowhere to go

A thousand shades of grey

You erased my world that day

A thousand words to say

All lost in silence to fade away

Caring faces staring right at me

I can’t stand their smothering empathy

Like maggots crawling upon rotten meat

A buffet of misery, all you can eat

A thousand shades of grey

You erased my world that day

A thousand words to say

All lost in silence to fade away

A thousand shades of grey

A million moments passed away

A billion pieces of my heart

Spreading like ashes forever dark

You are not alone — Your false sympathy makes me sick

You will get through — There’s no happy end to this life of shit

You must be strong — As I put the rope around my neck

Time will heal — The colours leave this broken wreck

A thousand shades of grey

My trail of tears ends here today

A thousand shades of grey

You erased my world that day

A thousand words to say

All lost in silence to fade away

A thousand shades of grey

A million moments passed away

A billion pieces of my heart

Spreading like ashes forever dark

No love, no light

Just shades of grey
