Spaceman Ace - Gray Skies Lyrics

Bottom of the barrel I fall no one out there left for me to call
Back against the wall again pressing up against the fact that I collapsed
Couldn't catch the drift a fist full of mis-turns mis-steps mistakes
Missed opportunities for greatness so I go with no more patience
With the saving grace I reach within my soul
Within the countless pounds of pain I found an ounce of gold
The only thing that's holding me together when the weather cold
The only thing that's holding me together when the fire out of control
Burning this thing down
Ready for a beat down
Keep down let's go deep now see how we now move so freely
See how we now think this thing is power
In the hour of crisis I might just light this fuse
Refuse to lose and let the cannon loose
Wonder how it got this way
Wonder why the sky is gray
Wonder why the light of God is throwing shade
And wouldn't give me the time of day
Wonder how it got this way
Wonder why the sky is gray
Wonder why the light of God is throwing shade
And wouldn't give me the time of day
Wonder how it got this way
Wonder why the sky is gray
Wonder why the light of God is throwing shade
And wouldn't give me the time of day
I need to get back to business what is this
A mixture of comeback king with the lingering
Smell of defeat I bring within the air
An heir to the throne the king's disease
You best believe it's eating me alive
With an undead head indeed I do survive
I'll bleed until my dying days
I'll bleed until they finalize that message on my grave
Rest in peace to the best that never was
F*ck it best that ever was
Best to ever be best believe I'm
Running it into the middle of something that's killing the rhythm
And hitting it better than whatever happened to breaking me down
And I'm taking the names and then taking them down
Never taking a break I be breaking it down
And I'm taking the time when I'm looking around
Just to see if there's somebody looking for me
Looking for me looking to find
Looking within looking without
Look to begin looking to shout
Looking to win without a doubt
Look to bring about changing
Look to bring about something
Look to bring about anything
But then again it all adds up to nothing
Wonder how it got this way
Wonder why the sky is gray
Wonder why the light of God is throwing shade
And wouldn't give me the time of day
Wonder how it got this way
Wonder why the sky is gray
Wonder why the light of God is throwing shade
And wouldn't give me the time of day
Wonder how it got this way
Wonder why the sky is gray
Wonder why the light of God is throwing shade
And wouldn't give me the time of day
