Life in Grey

[Verse 1]

Woke up to a sky that don’t know blue,

Clouds hang heavy like unpaid dues

Mirror shows a face I barely know,

Eyes like winter, soul movin' slow

City noise but I feel no sound,

People smile while I nearly drown

Coffee cold, dreams on pause

Another day stuck in the claws

Of routine — same walk, same train,

Same fake laughs just to hide the pain

I scroll through lives that shine too bright

While mine fades into grayscale light

[Hook]

This is life in grey, no black, no white

Just in-between, no wrong, no right

No highs, no lows, just floatin’ numb

In a world that forgot where I’m from

No fire, no rain, just endless mist

No punchlines left on my bucket list

Every day feels copy-paste

Another breath that I just waste

[Verse 2]

Tried to paint joy but the colors bled

My canvas cracked from the words unsaid

I used to dream in wild extremes

Now I’m sleepwalkin' through my dreams

Bills on the table, stress in my spine

Mom calls me up, says, “Boy, you fine?”

I lie and laugh, “Yeah, just a phase”

But my heart’s been stuck in darker days

I scroll for peace, find war instead

Feedin’ my mind what my soul should’ve fled

Even love feels pixel-thin

Just texts and silence and “where you been?”

[Bridge]

But maybe grey’s not all that bad,

Maybe it's realer than happy or sad

Maybe it means I’m still on the fence

Still got hope hidin' in the silence

‘Cause grey ain’t black, and grey ain’t done

It's the middle road before the sun

A quiet ache, a sacred breath—

A soft refusal to give in to death

[Hook]

This is life in grey, where I still fight

Where broken hearts still chase the light

Where every step feels outta place

But I still move — I still embrace

The mess, the mud, the blurred-out days

The echo halls, the mind’s thick maze

No filter here, no mask, no game

Just me — and this life in grey

[Outro]

So if you see me walkin’ slow

Eyes on clouds and thoughts below

Don’t ask for smiles, don’t try to fix—

Just walk with me… through the mix

Through the fog, the storm, the stray—

Let’s find color in this life in grey
