[Verse 1] I'm seein' shades of gray Enough prodding to make me hurt, which drives me to my sole desire Where I got you hanging on my every word, to burn you while I'm breathin' fire See, 'cause I got a plan, I look different on this side I'm somethin' like a hologram Damn, that don't mean I've changed, it just explains How some things in my life have suddenly rearranged While I'm starin' at my reflection it's lookin' somthin' like misdirection Between my life, my love, and pa**ion it's a lonely intersection And my selection results in constant mental interjection Giving birth to such aggression requires me to cease these sections But you see, they find a way to breath And for me, I find no place to leave to ‘Cause I finally found somewhere to land But now I can't seem to find where I am [Hook] I'm lost in this crowd I'm seein' shades of gray Lookin' for the light But I only found today I'm trapped in those eyes And I can't look away Afraid of the changes But nothing stays the same [Verse 2] Some say go to the light, others say you must leave it But in darkness there's clarity even if you don't care to see it Images taken and replayed such as this thievery And there seems to be no shortage of the people in my corner who believe in me But it wasn't always like this no, when I was fighting And I could say a million words at once but my pen was dry when it what time for writin' Sometimes I just don't get where the ink well goes And then sometimes my pen hits paper and the rest just flows Now I tried to exercise my demons but they've gotten out of shape And I used to be so superhuman but it seems I lost my cape How could I be that I'm livin' so great externally when life's burnin' me and internally It feels like I'm lying awake on the table in surgery And I'll put on a clinic, I can see that you're a cynic Thinkin' I photographed this picture perfect life and you weren't in it So I try to live my lessons and ease off these second guessin's I don't need church bells to be ringin' to go give you these confessions [Hook] [Verse 3] And where that leaves me now I can't seem to choose I found some breadcrumbs and it seems that I was leaving clues But I'm confused as to what they mean I know I've seen the movie but its seems that I forgot the scene I'm cuttin' the brakes, whatever it takes The bigger the gamble the higher the stakes Yeah I battled to build this and I'll never back down You know where you can find me now [Hook x2]
