Feathers - Grey Lyrics

Your colour code eludes me
Can't be trusted to remain
Right or wrong, tick the box you say
But I can't stay the same

My colours fade and I'm invisible

You want to outline me
In your shadows and your light
But I'm grey, I'm grey, I'm grey
You want to define me
With your boxes and your charts
I'll come apart that way

My chameleon skin turns to mud
Crossing your lines, cut by them
No four letter code can contain me
Your words don't define me

My colours fade and I'm invisible

You want to outline me
In your shadows and your light
But I'm grey, I'm grey, I'm grey
You want to define me
With your boxes and your charts
I'll come apart that way

We are real, we are grey, we are human
Not good or bad for you to judge
Your slippery slope says you can cast the first stone
But look around you friend and you might see yourself
Right beside us, slipping in the mud
As you slide into hatred, when your lore says right is love.

You want to outline me
In your shadows and your light
But I'm grey, I'm grey, I'm grey
You want to define me
With your boxes and your charts
I'll come apart that way

You want to outline me
In your shadows and your light
But I'm grey, I'm grey, I'm grey
You want to define me
With your boxes and your charts
I'll come apart that way I'm grey
