Haven't held you since you trembled in my arms
On that fateful night when we lost all our charms
And all the things we said and all the things we did
Turned the night on me
Falling down, ever falling hereafter
When we speak we cue the canned laughter
It's all poured out, there isn't droplet of hope for us
But if it's true what you say
Then I guess we're okay
And your last drop of love is for me
And it hides within our greyscale reality
There's a wall and it's keeping us parted
From all fires and troubles we started
And we must hide when it breaks not to wallow in misery
And there's a hole
And I guess it's a blessing
It opens to the lust and the guessing
And that's were we meet and that's were I can watch you breathing still
And if it's true what you say
Then I guess we're okay
And your last drop of love is for me
And I guess that you know
That there's a long way to go
To get to where we need to be
And to hide within our greyscale reality
And so things went awry
And we fall from the sky
And the world has turned grey
And we go far away
Now I recite, to the candles before me
My beaten and broken life story
Through the hole I can see as you're turning the night on me again
And I don't know, but it feels like I'm broken
Inside and all the pieces lie out in the open
And they're scarring my feet as I pace back and forth in grief
But if it's true what you say
Then I hope we're okay
And your last drop of blood is for me
And it hides within our greyscale reality
Do you know
There's a long way to go
To get to where we need to be
And hide within our greyscale reality
