Plainly shaded grey

Lyrics

Once, upon two-timing myself

I became outgoing and locked myself inside a shell. (locked myself inside)

Radically mundane (radically mundane)

I volunteered to feel your pain (I felt the pain)

and gleefully drove myself insane.
(no pain no gain)

I've been painted up with accusing colors like (accusing colors like)

stealthy brilliance (stealthy brilliance)

and bright shade.(stealthy brilliance and bright shade)

Your brightest strokes don't show at night (much too dark)

and facades do not affect much change. (peel the facade away)

The core, the version of me that I've made yet remains. (the core remains)

It will take great effort and patience (effort and patience)

to remove all these coats of hate (all these coats of hate)

you all helped paint (you all helped paint)

and some I'm afraid are permanent stains. (permanent stains)

Scrubbed clean (so fresh so clean)

a sterile palette of plainly shaded grey. (plainly shaded grey)

breakdown

Damn do my shoulders ache (shoulders ache)

Been burdened down with this weight
(burdened down so heavy)

I ruined love but I really learned to hate. (and I held it steady)

Fuck love you can deal with my hate (hate so heavy)
