Grey Skies
Written, recorded, and produced by Nelson Addison
 
(Chorus) 
Grey skies, and downcast eyes,
Looking for anything to make us feel alive
And if I don’t find it, will I be alright?
Will I ever make my way into the light?
Grey skies, and downcast eyes,
Looking for anything…
 
(Verse 1)
Surely I’ll feel better when I turn the corner
Surely I’ll feel better as I’m growing older
Surely I’ll feel better when I fall in love
Surely I’ll feel better when I have enough
Tomorrow everything is gonna be so different
Is a lie we tell ourselves when we’re naive and innocent
I won’t believe that bullshit for a minute. (x3)
But I gotta keep on living cause my death is imminent.
 
(Chorus) 
Grey skies, and downcast eyes,
Looking for anything to make us feel alive
And if I don’t find it, will I be alright?
Will I ever make my way into the light?
 
(Post-chorus)
Just one more night (x3)
Tomorrow everything’s gonna be just the same as before
 
(Verse 2)
Happiness, she flees me, at the speed of sound,
There's no way I can catch her running on the ground.
Sometimes I grab on to her as she passes by,
But let go as she pitches up into the sky.
Whenever she is gone, I tend to stay inside.
If I miss something important, I don't seem to mind.
In the evenings I do anything to pass the time,
 
In the mornings, I just lay and cry.
 
(Chorus)
Grey skies, and downcast eyes,
Looking for anything to make us feel alive
And if I don’t find it, will I be alright?
Will I ever make my way into the light?
 
Grey skies, and downcast eyes,
Looking for anything to make us feel alive
And if I don’t find it, will I be alright?
Will I ever make my way into the light?

(Instrumental bridge)

(Verse 3) 
I was never taught how to deal with pain of the emotional variety
Niggas not supposed to cry, so I just kept it all inside of me
It divided me between towr'in walls of ivory,
Sweet irony, had me thinking I'd improve with time, entirely.
If we live in hell on earth, then what is hell to us? How fiery
Can a furnace be, internally, that we live in for eternity?
The one I'm leaving now turned my skin and soul to vapors
So I don't give a shit about 2000 year old papers.
I want peace, I want it now, I want it right now.
I'll do anything to get it, anything, God forbidden
I want peace, I want it now, I want it right now. But I
Guess I gotta wait, maybe learn to live without it.
 
(Instrumental break)
 
Outro (faster tempo):
I just wanna die, I just wanna die.
I just wanna die
I just wanna die sometimes (I just wanna die)

I just wanna die, I just wanna die.
I just wanna die
I just wanna die sometimes (I just wanna die)

I just wanna die, I just wanna die.
I just wanna die
I just wanna die sometimes (I just wanna die)
I just wanna die, sometimes.
