Sunny and Gray

[mathiasthom]

Sunny and gray,
like this personality
a walking fatality
leaving no shadows

 

Everything is staged
to the sound of slamming doors
why take it to that level?
you drag me there every time

 

And I honestly don't hate you
I just feel sorry for this misguided behavior
the way you've created these lies
and they've taken on lives of their own

 

You know I'd rather be elsewhere
surrounded by strangers on some floor
smoke and mirrors,
bad cologne, truly alone

 

Dancing to a beat
that penetrates this very core
fueled by vodka
and a need to feel even more

 

Watching a world through jaded eyes
up on a rooftop
greeting the sunrise
with no surprises of my own

 

Sunny and gray
slivers of light on this headstone
with no recognizable name,
truly feeling the same
