Chris Pureka - Grey lyrics
[Chris Pureka - Grey lyrics]
It was a saffron day on the avenue
I took the evening train back to my dark room
And the periwinkle sky was just
The night in disguise
Oh and everything eventually turns grey
Well if you saw me now
I'd still talk at my shoes
And if I saw you now
Your eyes would still be blue
And believing your own lies seemed
Like such a good idea
But, you see your father's eyes when
You look into the mirror
Oh and everything eventually turns grey
It takes one hour to burn
What was twenty years to come
And we're all rubble at the bottom
And it's all falling down
Yeah it's all falling down
The creases there, and my crooked spine
The bold headlines now, a linear design
Oh and everything eventually turns grey
It takes one hour to burn
What was two hundred years to come
And we're all rubbled at the bottom
And it's all falling down
And it's all falling down
Yeah it's all falling down
Now, now it's getting yellow at the edges
Cracking at the corners bending at the knees
You're getting blue in the face
From screaming the warning
And no one's listening
It's hard to see, we turn away
We're slowly walking underground
Ashes to ashes now, ashes to ashes now
Now your old idyllic hope is just
A shipwreck on the shore
And now your old idyllic hope is just
A shipwreck on the shore
I took the evening train back to my dark room
And the periwinkle sky was just
The night in disguise
Oh and everything eventually turns grey
Well if you saw me now
I'd still talk at my shoes
And if I saw you now
Your eyes would still be blue
And believing your own lies seemed
Like such a good idea
But, you see your father's eyes when
You look into the mirror
Oh and everything eventually turns grey
It takes one hour to burn
What was twenty years to come
And we're all rubble at the bottom
And it's all falling down
Yeah it's all falling down
The creases there, and my crooked spine
The bold headlines now, a linear design
Oh and everything eventually turns grey
It takes one hour to burn
What was two hundred years to come
And we're all rubbled at the bottom
And it's all falling down
And it's all falling down
Yeah it's all falling down
Now, now it's getting yellow at the edges
Cracking at the corners bending at the knees
You're getting blue in the face
From screaming the warning
And no one's listening
It's hard to see, we turn away
We're slowly walking underground
Ashes to ashes now, ashes to ashes now
Now your old idyllic hope is just
A shipwreck on the shore
And now your old idyllic hope is just
A shipwreck on the shore
