Gray - by Penelope

Into the darkness
You run away
From lifeless faces
Painted gray
They can't see you
Not today
You look through a two-way wall

You stop in your tracks
When they see your tears
Another life lost
From hidden fears
No second chances
Too many years
Nobody knows who you are

Dying to love
Living to please
Surrounded by fire
You can't help but freeze
You look for a smile
But no one agrees
You live in the shadows now

Painted faces
Fall apart
Six short seconds
Of open hearts
When you turn around
It's not so dark
Maybe the gray will fade
