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 else 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 that 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 this rope around my neck
Time will heal�
The colors 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
