Lost (another day, another shade of gray)

I got stabbed in the heart today

I saw it all break apart

Instead of red, my blood was gray

I wish we could go back to the start



I got stabbed in the back today

I felt it all break apart

Instead of bone, my spine was clay

I wish we could go back to the start



...Come on, let's go back to the start...



I got lost in this world today

A blind man full of fear

Instead of showing me the way

The rain lead me astray

Your face was so unclear



I got lost in myself today

No one else was even around

I was discovered way back in the day

But I have still yet to be found



...I have still yet to be found...



I'm just a Raggedy Ann lost in a Barbie Doll world

I'm just a human lost in a robot world

I'm just dark lost in a light world

I'm just day lost in a night world



Another day, another shade of gray

Another day to hide and run away

Another day, another shade of gray

Another day to put your life on delay



I got shot in the head today

My dreams turned to ashes and burned away like a cigarette

Instead of being reborn, I was left alone to slowly decay

I wish we could go back to the day we never met



I got shot to my death today

I drowned in my own tears and my future was torn

Shattered into a million pieces, what a sad display

I wish we could go back to the day I was never born



...I wish I was never born...



I got lost in your world today

All by myself on the grotesque ground

Instead of showing me the way

You left me alone to pray

Even if I'm in plain view, I'll never truly be found



I got lost in my dreams today

You tossed me like a toy on your empty shelf

I discovered you way back in the day

But I have still yet to find myself



...I still haven't found myself...



I'm just color lost in a black and white world

I'm just the truth lost in a lying world

I'm just a nightmare lost in a dream world

I'm just reality lost in a fake world



Another day, another shade of gray

Another day to make your depression stay

Another day, another shade of gray

Another day to put your life on delay



...I'm just a Raggedy Ann lost in a Barbie Doll world...



Another day, another shade of gray

Another day to throw your time away

Another day, another shade of gray

Another day to put your life on delay



Another day to put your life on delay

Put your life on delay

Life on delay

Delay
