lyrics

Verse 1

Soaked to the skin with greyness
Saturated and I'm barely breathing
Smothered by apathy
Remind me again what do I believe in?
Tried just about everything
To fight this sense of isolation
I'm a fully paid up member of this
self-harming generation

Chorus

This monochrome life
These paper thin dreams
Torn and tattered and ripped at the seams
This monochrome life
These paper thin dreams
A pale imitation and a stifled scream

Verse 2

Swept along by the sleep walking masses
Always surprised that we never collide
On the surface feeling so numb
But something rips and tears and gnaws at my insides
In this limbo land of twilight
Never staying but I'm not quite leaving
Pins and needles from the neck up spreading
Remind me again what do I believe in?
