Shades of gray *.

In the depths of my soul
from day to day
i've lost control
im sad to say

whatever i give
the price i pay
this life i live
in shades of gray

pointless words
im forced to say
they're never heard
swatted away

why do i try
to get away
these tears i cry
in shades of gray

this life so hard
what must i say
my dreams are charred
and burned away

but do you see
in any way
inside of me
these shades of gray

i will not live
my life this way
i will not
give in today

the chains are broken
in every way
my fate has spoken
to me today

i hope you know
this fine sweet day
i no longer show
those shades of gray
