Black and Grey

Downtown
Where I ran aground
Where all the buildings look the same

Monochromatic
Feeling in the air is static
And all you see is black and grey

I'd paint a picture
Pen a tune to catch your ear
But all the words seem to come out wrong

I'm goin' to Hell
Just a couple blocks from here
And then you'll know why I wrote this song

Right where I belong
Right where I belong
Right where I belong
Right where you can

Spend a lifetime
Safe and sober, so sedated
Let reality slip away

Well I'm not much for safe
And sobriety is overrated
My future ended yesterday

I should write a letter
The least I owe is explanation
Something to help you sleep at night

But I'm not getting better
Think I'm done with conversation
Fashionably late for a one-way ride

//Chorus//
The volume in my head is rising
Drowning out my dreams
From this day on no comprimising
Everything is as it seems
