Melodramus – Black & Grey lyrics

Light breaks through cracks in the sky,
My world is crashing down one truth at a time.
The ground is shaking, the walls are caving in,
Now I'm treading neck-deep in a pool of your sin.

These shades of black have never felt so gray-
It's a blur I must confess,
Nothing's ever what it seems-
Certainty's sure a mess

And so I'm here – it's on – my love for the con.
There's just more and more appeal for what you said was so wrong,
The line is drawn, my conscience broke free –
Ready, aim, take take take take take me!

Smile and wave as your life flys by...

I never thought it would come to this –
A shattered dream and a bloody fist.
No one should wish this upon anyone...

How can you tell me what's real!
Or tell me how to act, think and feel?
It's my world - you're just living in it,
A weak signal that won't transmit.

These shades of black have never felt so gray –
It's a blur I must confess,
Certainty and absolution –
Words you'll never possess

And so who's right? Who's wrong? Who really cares?
Get up off your knees – I don't need your prayers.
These ideals are lazy, the gods are crazy,
Fire a shot through the smoke so hazy.

Smile and wave as your life flys by...

I never thought it would come to this –
A shattered dream and a bloody fist.
No one should wish this upon anyone...

Smile and wave as your life flys by,
Your perception is a cage,
That'll suck you dry!
