Gray Rainbow
============================
Got a fire burning
down deep in my soul
like a runaway train
I'm wild and out of control
Gotta keep on moving
always looking straight ahead
they'll be time enough to rest
when I'm buried and dead
There's blood on the tracks
and guilt under my skin
can't buy myself a ticket
with the wages of sin
But sometimes I wonder
if it's even worth the trip
feels like I'm walking the plank
on a sunken pirate ship
Who will be there waiting
at the end of the line
if you spend all of your days
chasing that dollar sign?
Chorus
============================
I see a gray rainbow
after the rain
The colors of the sky
are all blinded by pain
Where there's light, I see shadows
when there's truth, I find doubt
don't yet know all the secrets
but I'll soon figure them out
============================
I can feel the anger
flowin' in my veins
wanna bust out of my life
and break away these chains
Time to start a journey
a dangerous kind of quest
look deep inside your mind
for a buried treasure chest
But as I search for answers
only questions do I find
can't use a skeleton key
to unlock your peace of mind
The road to redemption's
paved with misery and lies
can you see the wall of darkness
behind my weary eyes?
Yet still I move on
with only a glimmer of hope
climbing back from this hell
is a slippery slope
Wounded, not broken
my heart is on the mend
I will never find my place
'till I reach this journey's end
Chorus
============================
I see a gray rainbow
after the rain
The colors of the sky
are all blinded by pain
Where there's light, I see shadows
when there's truth, I find doubt
don't yet know all the secrets
but I'll soon figure them out
There's a rainbow of gray
up in the sky
wanna rise above this earth
and let my spirit fly
============================
