lyrics

grey
it was a saffron day, on the avenue. i took the evening train, back to my dark room. and the periwinkle sky was just the night in disguise, oh and everything, eventually, turns grey. well if you saw me now, i’d still talk at my shoes, and if i saw you now, your eyes would still be blue, and believing your own lies, seemed like such a good idea, but you see your father’s eyes, when you look into the mirror, oh and everything, eventually, turns grey. it takes one hour to burn, what was 20 years to come, and we’re all rubble at the bottom and it’s all falling down, yeah it’s all falling down. the creases there, and my crooked spine, the bold headlines now, a linear design, oh and everything, eventually turns grey. it takes one hour to burn, what was 200 years to come, and we’re all rubble at the bottom, and it’s all falling down…now, now it’s getting yellow at the edges, cracking at the corners, bending at the knees, you’re getting blue in the face from screaming the warning and no one’s listening, it’s hard to see, we turn away, we’re slowly walking underground, ashes to ashes now, ashes to ashes now. now your old idyllic hope is just a shipwreck on the shore and now your old idyllic hope is just a shipwreck on the shore.
