The Grey

There was a time when I tried to hold the ocean in my fists When I mistook the language for the light There was a tightness that gripped my soul and bubbled at my wrists And choked me within inches of my life But now I'm letting go And I can finally breathe, I can finally breathe And my hands are open, reaching out I'm learning how to live with doubt I'm learning how to lean into the grey 'Cause I've had enough of black and white I'll find another way and I will lean into the grey I'll lean into the grey There was a time when I tried to bind and bottle up the sea I tried to hide my heart inside my head There was a maze of these vicious lines that cut through everything I pulled against them till my body bled But now I'm letting go And I can finally breathe, I can finally breathe And my hands are open, reaching out I'm learning how to live with doubt I'm learning how to lean into the grey 'Cause I've had enough of black and white I'll find another way and I will lean into the grey I'll lean into the grey I will find, I will find another way, way And I will lean, I will lean into the grey, grey Now I'm letting go And I can finally breathe, I can finally breathe And my hands are open, reaching out I'm learning how to live with doubt I'm learning how to lean into the grey 'Cause I've had enough of black and white I'll find another way and I will lean into the grey I'll lean into the grey Yeah, I've had enough of black and white I'll lean into the grey I'll lean into the grey I'll find another way and I Will lean into the grey I'll lean into the grey
