our subconscious leading our intentions
where the light ends
gray over gray
i can see forever
all the way to yesterday
bleeding colours fall away,
night skies with no wars overhead

bleeding colours
they just fall away,
night skies overhead
with war
belief not limited
to what i hear
one heart beating,
one life lived

overcast
like a silent film
the music leading us
to the sun.
and the voices
like ours right now fade away
and i feel burned and paid.

why such fervent preaching,
when no blessings can be found?
why leave your aspirations
in the dry and cracked ground?
i have prayed for absolution,
and i have prayed for a new language
i have served my intuition
felt it cringe and hesitate

i am still waiting
i am still waiting
i am still and waiting
i am still and waiting, breaking
the shades of gray
over many shades of gray
i can see
through the shades of gray
i can shine
through the shades of gray

and then the veil is lifted
and the fog rolls on
i'm not just wet with perspiration
i can see it all
and life is beautiful
and life is beautiful
and i am beautiful
and so it goes

so i dream
and so it fills my consciousness
with all these memories
where we live
gray over gray
i can see forever
all the way thorough history

-sigh-
i believe
you can't take that away from me
no, you can't take that away from me
-sigh-
