Grey

Yeah
Ayy

The light flickers on the sign on my desk; the batteries drained
Man, you know today I'm feeling the same
It says, "Dream Big", Mum gave me that, and I been tryin' my best
But along the way it seems the feelings have changed
I took a walk on a cloudy day around my way
All the busy bodies, suit and ties, and who am I? Out of place
Watchin' all their faces walkin' with a sour taste
Wonderin' if underneath it all they'd hid their light away
My perspective as an artist
Overthinkin' everything, just makin' life the hardest
So what if I've still gotta juggle three jobs, spеnding my days p'd off
'Cause I can't spend 'em workin' whеre my heart is, and, damn, the scale's
Tippin' in a wrong way and, shit, it's been a long day
My head and right foot heavy, tyres smokin' on grey
Roads, while I make my way home, take the long way
Did I miss my turn? Sittin' right in the wrong lane

I've had my off-days, way too many to count
I've come a long way, even when they counted me out
When it was all grey, yeah, when everything was
All grey, yeah
I've had the long nights, wonderin' where I fit
I spent a long time thinkin' I would never exist
When it was all grey, yeah, when everything was
All grey, but then it stopped (Yeah)

If I had a message for the younger me, what would it be?
Listen to your intuition, follow heart, and your dreams
No-one can ever fill the hole inside your soul, but it seems
That the only way you're ever gettin' close is with peace
And everything you've ever wanted is a moment away
But you won't get it sittin' still just by your phone for the day
And every single bitter pill you swallow's gonna be great
'Cause it'll make you stronger, brother, you ain't ever gon' break
And please know that you don't always have to try to impress
They see your heart, the fakes will go, the real will stay on your quest
But make sure you take time to refresh
'Cause how the hell you fillin' up another's cup when nothin' is left
And make sure to share a smile on the way
You never know your impact on the lonely souls you'll come across in a day
And please stop and smell the roses, knowin' things they can change
And keep rememberin' that every day ain't gonna be grey, yeah

I've had my off-days, way too many to count
I've come a long way, even when they counted me out
When it was all grey, yeah, when everything was
All grey, yeah
I've had the long nights, wonderin' where I fit
I spent a long time thinkin' I would never exist
When it was all grey, yeah, when everything was
All grey, but then it stopped

See no light in the tunnel
No steppin' stones in front of me
I feel I might be in trouble
But I find my way out usually
I find my mind in a muddle
But I guess we'll wait and see
My life, a drop in a puddle
So how bad can one day be?

I've had my off-days, way too many to count
I've come a long way, even when they counted me out
When it was all grey, yeah, when everything was
All grey, yeah
I've had the long nights, wonderin' where I fit
I spent a long time thinkin' I would never exist
When it was all grey, yeah, when everything was
All grey
I've had my off-days, way too many to count
I've come a long way, even when they counted me out
When it was all grey, yeah, when everything was
All grey, yeah
I've had the long nights, wonderin' where I fit
I spent a long time thinkin' I would never exist
When it was all grey, yeah, when everything was
All grey, but then it stopped

But then it stopped
But then it stopped
But then it stopped
But then it
