Shades

The curtain pulled itself tight
the records kept spinning
the dishes lay dirty in the sink
I stay up all night
the thoughts of you are winning
I can't make myself think
The words cut like a dagger
the blood drips crimson
the rusty blade thrown away
you sigh with laughter
the love is ending
it fades day by day
 
(Chorus)
I can't keep my hope
just locked up in misery
I'm the only one I know
and the thought's are killin' me
the shadows are still too bright
the blade of the knife is dull, so right
why can't I hide behind the masks of grey?
Why can't I slip on my shades?

Whatever, girl, you're such a bitch
lying, cheating, yeah, I guess imma snitch
your world is fake now
as dull is the fading sound
the world stops now
lightning shoots from the sky to the ground

The lying game is old
the new fold back into the soul
the grave is newly dug
and you're hearts out of love
the world is bright and green
it's such a lovely scene
the warmth I feel
the love, I will
I can see
a better me
a newer me
the wonderful feeling
the wonderful feeling
