Closer to Grey Songtext

von Ten Foot Pole

Clawing his way out of the doldrums
Getting sick and tired of coke and rums
We'll just have to wait and see
Cause he's jumped on the wagon before
Only to crawl and beg for more

His pride is just another casualty

Can you see beyond today's euphoric state
Do you remember how you'll feel tomorrow
All the people that you hate
All the times you've had to wait
Every piece of food that you ever ate
Reminds you of your fate
He's clawing his way out of a paper bag
Reaching for the life that he never had

And he's just one step away
Cause he's going backwards on a two track
He's going one step forward and two steps back
Getting closer to grey

In the end there's only grieving
All his goals inside pulled thin air
Can you blame him if he's desperate
There's nothing left for him to get
And he doesn't care that people stare
And they do fucking stare
