lyrics

When I met you at the borderline
I opined
But if you’ve got the truth, I’ll be quiet then
Go, close your eyes
And sleep when you’re awake

You won’t open the door
So I’m giving it up
Your reason is incomplete
Can you be the grey?
Or will you stay and play your childish games?

To change
Our ways
We must slay what slays
But careful, lest you hate

The beautiful robe you wrap yourself in:
Approximation
Follow me into the unknowing:
The real beginning

What are your words even for
If they only divide the one we all should be?
Can you be the grey?
Can you destroy black iron prison gates?

We made this place in our disgrace
Return: The movement of the way
The tides: they roar, now as before
Can You Be the Grey?

A camp of fools sits on the shore
I thought that you’d have read the signs
But I forgot your world of lines
Though your lines aren’t wrong, they sing no songs
To mine, I hope you’ll sing along

Please, open the door
There’s life inside, if only you’d listen to me
Can you feel the grace?
Can you be like a child in a different way?

Maybe
Indeed
We will slay what slays
With love on this escapade
We’ll change
Our ways
Can you be the grey?
