Verse 1
It all came crashing down when I thought I could fly
Cause at the end of the day I’m still the same old guy
Looking around seeing faces so friendly
Frankly I’m sure they’re plotting against me
I was sowing new seeds
Getting back on my feet
But got smothered by a million pound cloud of concrete
Chorus
I keep painting pictures in grey
Don’t know anybody else who feels just like me
When I look outside the dirty window
It’s always a rainy day
Tell me should I stay
Or fade away
Verse 2
Let’s create new memories
Fast forward in time
Rushing for my destiny
But I promise I’ll be fine
Alway chasing a feeling seems like nothing to worry
I really need a break but my soul ’s in a hurry
From a tiny little puddle into a tidal wave
I’m ready to go down so here we go again
Chorus
I keep painting pictures in grey
Don’t know anybody else who feels just like me
When I look outside the dirty window
It’s always a rainy day
Tell me should I stay
Or fade away
Bridge
Again 5 AM staying up all night
Cheap thrills, dopamine, it’s gonna be alright
Same old game, what else can I say
Cause all my life I’ve been fading away
