Life Is Grey

Only yesterday

I told myself that life is grey

Didn't make me sad

Made me feel human

Only yesterday

I told myself that love is green

Greener than the trees

Growing in my bedroom

Made me want to lose myself lose myself

In a song about the sun

Or the many things that I don't understand

Like I did since I was young

Made me want to open doors sleep on floors

In a world outside your door

Watch a movie play some piano

Write a sonnet build an army

Let's build an army

Now will you love me

Let's build an army

Only yesterday

I realised that tall dark tomb

Punctuates the sky

A giant's exclamation

Shame on our beloved nation

The codes we send as ash into the sky

Oh sorrow cure me from tiny glories

Now dig for beauty and build an army

Let's build an army

Now will you love me

Then build an army

The truth is life is grey

The truth is times are strange

The truth is I'm ok

And you're beautiful

The truth is life is grey

The truth is times are strange

The truth is I'm ok

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful

And you're beautiful
