Gray

gray, gray, gray, gray

she tells me that she's still okay

But she stays in bed

Low low low low

she's never felt this low

Csus3

she's never felt this dead

Pain

It doesn't feel like pain

she'd give anything to feel again

Anything at all

gray

she says it feels like gray

Like waiting in an open grave

For the dirt to fall

The walls climb up around her

And the loneliness surrounds her

And her agency is taken

she knows that he is breaking

And it's gray everywhere

In the light and in her stare

she's barely holding on

The color is all gone

Pray, pray pray pray

he tells me that he needs to pray

But he doesn't know the words to say

Why, why why why

I try to understand why I

Can't do anything to help

Pills

she has to take her pills

The medicine that starts to kill

Any sense of her

Hope

All she’s got is hope

To lead her out of the smoke

To lead her home

The walls climb up around her

And the loneliness surrounds her

And her agency is taken

she knows that he is breaking

And it's gray everywhere

In the light and in her stare

she's barely holding on

The color is all gone

The walls fall down around her

And her family surrounds her

And she knows it isn’t over

But it no longer controls her

The vapors dissipate

The morning light dissolves the haze

she crawls into the day

She knows it isn’t over

But for now she'll be okay
