I see the rainbow
but I don't see the colors
I see the inside
'cause that's what matters
I notice similarities
that you can't see
you think you know every one
you better take another look at me...
Shades of...
Gray
You are not the man
that you claim to be
when you're drinking your coffee
who do you see?
your vision's been narrowed
by the stones you've thrown
and I still can't believe
these things you'd teach your own...
Shades of...
Gray
the clock is still ticking
and your time is near
will you ever realize
your hate is based on fear
What are you so afraid of?
that which you don't know?
well, I regret to inform you
that has got to go...
Shades of...

Background:
This is the first song that I came up with that actually resembled a real song. There are 3 guitar parts, yet they're very simple - and the song is a little repetitive. I don't play it much, if ever at all. The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory, I think. I knew I wanted to deal with this subject, and I made an effort to write about it in this way.
