Analysis of Grey



I said my goodbyes
Every day you stay blind
and I like the way the grey comes in until it goes away again

It's nothing significant anyway
You complicate
you aggravate
They confiscate
While you hesitate
Heavens gates or hells flames
Its all the same
Its all to blame
It's all that came and all that went
Can't handle it
Gotta re-imagine
Secret passage in the abyss
I said my goodbyes blew a kiss
never ever gonna see me again
I might of vanished
but like the vines and the plants man this is everlasting
