LYRICS:
Eyes open up
Slept like a rock
My shoes waterlogged
Take off my socks
Rain falls gently down as I wake up
And think what I want from the day to come
And I just wanna laugh at some stupid shit
After 26 years you think I'd be used to this
Still I know it might not be what I want it to
So I wring out my socks, and I dry my shoes
Asking
Wyuon, wyuon, wyuon
Wyuon, wyuon, wyuon
Wyuon, wyuon, wyuon
Wyuon, wyuon, wyuon
Will you explain to me
Why you won't just let me sleep
Like a birthday on a Tuesday
Kinda sad, but a soft smile stare at the ceiling
Family far away, I might drive all day to see'em
Smile back at me like Mac, RIP, and
I'm just trying to live before I die
Figure out why the world can be so mean
Guess I'm part of it
Mom he started it
Won't go too far
Life ain't a film, and you ain't the star of it
You just borrowed it
And when they want it back
What if tomorrow's it
We'll be too far to ask
Will you explain to me
Why you won't just let me sleep in peace

LYRICS:
Beautiful Gray come to stay for a short while
Please don't turn on me as I smile
Though I know that you like to
Making me feel lied to
You're an icy, combustible teddy bear
I don't know how to hold you
I love and I fear you like a desperate, faithful fool
But I see and I feel you, so I'm just a desperate fool
No I don't wanna get high
Just wanna stay close to the cold ground with you
I feel all the warmth of happiness with an icy, blissful emptiness
So cool, cool
Beautiful Gray come to stay for a short while
Please don't turn on me as I smile
Though I know that you like to
Making me feel lied to
You're an icy, combustible teddy bear
I don't know how to hold you

Beautiful Gray

LYRICS:
Come back to me, I can't reach you
And if you'd only say one word
I think I can probably hear you
I don't know what I'm doing anymore
I don't know what I'm doing this for
I want to give you reasons to
Shrug off the sadness and the heartache
Robbed out the blue, part of you
And if you wanna cry, please do
Thinking bout her hurts my heart, too
Come back to me, I can't reach you
And if you'd only say one word
I think I can probably hear you
I don't know what I'm doing anymore
I don't know what I'm doing this for
Every part of her's in you and me
And that's a weight worth more than gold
Let go and hold to what you need
Don't let it clutter up your soul
Choose what to hold on and let go
Come back to me, I can't reach you
And if you'd only say one word
I think I can probably hear you
I don't know what I'm doing anymore
