[Part I]

so where do we begin
and what else can we say?
when the lines are all drawn
what should we do today?

[Part II]

are you listening
am i here screaming?
drowning in a silent sea
or only dreaming?

drifting in and out
his mind never rests
lying in shadows
replaying a thousand regrets

can you hear me
am i getting through?
a million miles away
or here beside you?

drifting in and out
his heart never forgets
lying in shadows
replaying a thousand regrets

and the minutes just pass
as the hours change
and the shifting sands
slowly rearrange

drifting in and out
his mind never rests
lying in shadows
replaying a thousand regrets

[Part III]

there's a cloud above us
and there's a shadow on us
and outside of us
hangs this shade of gray

rain falling
hours crawling
all around this shade of gray

there's a chill about us
and there's a sadness with us
and deep within us
lies this shade of gray

rain falling
hours crawling
all around this shade of gray
this shade of gray
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
this shade of gray
"rain's falling, hours crawling"

there's a space beside us
and there's miles between us
and all around us
grows this shade of gray

rain falling
hours crawling
all around this shade of gray

rain falling
hours crawling
all around this shade of gray
this shade of gray
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
this shade of gray
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
