Life Beyond the Gray

I'm smoothing out on every side
this shirtsleeve where my heart resides
gonna need it for today

Packing up and shipping out
the suitcase stuffed with all that doubt
don't need it anyway

What of control and what of before
the fights and designs
this one heart's looking for more
Lying isn't dying for a cause
anymore than crying ever was.

There lies a road, there goes a path
a way that's lined with aftermath
what use is it to wait

I'll leave behind the smallest me
the one who only falls in me
a life beyond the gray.

(My attempts at putting music to these lyrics have been unsuccessful to this point - maybe someday)
