Oh look at how she listens
and says nothing of what she thinks
and silently listen to abuses
while she stares out into the street
she thinks, hey
how did I come to this
I swear I had the dreams of a million children once
but they've all faded did they

But then the rocks in her heart fall
and she feels the weight of life
and the colors mix together
to grey
to wake her up

Oh, such a powerful indifference
we pray to God most every night
although we swear he doesn't listen
there's just a hope in us he might
she said, I pray
but they fall on deaf ears
I'm supposed to take life on myself
lift myself out of this place

And look the rocks in her heart stone
without a hope we'll make this right
wander lately down in the heart of us
so we both pray she's right
oh, but then the colors mix together
to grey
and wake her up

Oh [???]
take what you can from your dreams
make them as real as anything
it'll take the work out of the courage
she said, please
I hear voices creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world

Then the distance between my head and my heart
gets longer it seems each day
she wants to follow dust down road to see
where that black car leads away
when love might notice always lovely
only love say light
but all the colors mix together
to grey
to wake us up
to break us out
to wake us out of it

But calmness only this time
it's a blink if you think you're alright
oh and my eyes rested from the sleeping
open up bleary, staring wide
oh then now hold me down in my heart now
when the window wait is one
I know not close up at the story
won't leave her, yeah light
and the colors mix together
to grey
and wake me up
then wake me up
and wake, yeah
