Fade to Grey - experimental
by
Nathanael Smith

When I see you
I see true
I see peace
Hectic rat race
Fade to Grey

See your eyes
See your truth
See your lies
Fade to Grey

Looking up
Looking down
Don't know sky
From ground
Fade to Grey

Passing within a bulbous cloud
Can't see anywhere
Don't know if you're near
Fade to Grey

Under a microscope
Seeing my guilt
Seeing my hope
Seeing me tilt
Trying to cope
Fade to Grey

When hoping leaves me weary
And living leaves me teary
And hating leaves me feary
Fade to Grey

Loving the praise
Watching my gaze
Eye shining bright
Mind of a mite
Wanting to gloat
Willing to bloat
Empty smiling
Nothing filling
Living on gall
Passing for null
Fade to Grey

Passing life like passing grown
Seeing hope like stranger's frown
Unwanted and unknown
Dragging downwards like a stone
Fade to Grey

Fade to Grey
When life passes fast
When all you see is the past
When all you can do is wait
When you seem too late
Fade to Grey
