Gray Over Colors

The storm rolls in and the sky goes black

I’m in my zone,

there’s no turning back

I love the thunder and the heavy rain

Washing away all the noise and the pain

But then the clouds break

and the light cuts through

And ruins the mood with a terrible hue

Take back the red,

the yellow, the green It’s the loudest spectrum I’ve ever seen

I don’t want the gold at the end of the line

I just want the shadows to intertwine

Keep all your prisms and your technicolor glow I’ve got zero love

for a painted rainbow

It’s too much bright

and it’s way too bold

A clashing canvas that’s getting old

Give me the static

of a black and white screen

Where the edges are sharp

and the spaces are clean

When the sky tries to smile

with that colorful arch

It’s a parade

where I just don’t want to march

Take back the red,

the yellow, the green It’s the loudest spectrum I’ve ever seen

I don’t want the gold at the end of the line

I just want the shadows to intertwine

Keep all your prisms and your technicolor glow

I’ve got zero love for a painted rainbow

They say it’s a promise,

they say it’s a prize

But it feels like a circus right in my eyes

Seven shades screaming, competing for space

I’d rather have gray

all over this place

Let it fade out,

let it wash away

Give me the comfort of a rainy day

No indigo, no violet,

no blinding light

Just the quiet gray fading into the night

Yeah, keep your rainbow,

I’m doing just fine.
