1. A Pleasant Shade Of Gray Part I
so where do we begin
and what else can we say?
when the lines are all drawn
what should we do today?
2. A Pleasant Shade Of Gray Part II
are you listening
am i here screaming?
drowning in a silent sea
or only dreaming?
drifting in and out
his mind never rests
lying in shadows
replaying a thousand regrets
can you hear me
am i getting through?
a million miles away
or here beside you?
drifting in and out
his heart never forgets
lying in shadows
replaying a thousand regrets
and the minutes just pass
as the hours change
and the shifting sands
slowly rearrange
drifting in and out
his mind never rests
lying in shadows
replaying a thousand regrets
3. A Pleasant Shade Of Gray Part III
there's a cloud above us
and there's a shadow on us
and outside of us
hangs this shade of gray
rain falling
hours crawling
all around this shade of gray
there's a chill about us
and there's a sadness with us
and deep within us
lies this shade of gray
rain falling
hours crawling
all around this shade of gray
this shade of gray
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
this shade of gray
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
there's a space beside us
and there's miles between us
and all around us
grows this shade of gray
rain falling
hours crawling
all around this shade of gray
rain falling
hours crawling
all around this shade of gray
this shade of gray
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
this shade of gray
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
4. A Pleasant Shade Of Gray Part V
murdered in munich
crucified in rome
was killing time
on the long road home
let nothing bleed into nothing
and did nothing
let nothing bleed into nothing
and did nothing at all
withered in winter
wished away the night
was out of mind
while out of sight
let nothing bleed into nothing
and did nothing
let nothing bleed into nothing
and did nothing at all
let nothing bleed into nothing
and did nothing
let nothing bleed into nothing
and did nothing at all
watched the days just pass
as the seasons changed
and the shifting sands
slowly rearranged
but i will not eulogize
i won't apologize
i will not defend
anymore, anymore
i will not dramatize
i won't soliloquize
i will not pretend
anymore, anymore
5. A Pleasant Shade Of Gray Part VI
i know that i don't know you
and you couldn't know me
but time and space collided
and here we are, here we are
i know that you don't understand
and i can't explain
but circumstance conspired
and here we are, here we are
"the time is four nineteen..."
"time flies..."
"???"
"the answer is no..."
and i know we can't turn back all the years
time reflected in a shade of gray
but i often wonder what could have been
and i still hold on to yesterday
and i know we're not children any more
innocence lost in a sea of gray
but i often wonder what else could be
and i still dream of running away
so where do we begin
and what else can we say?
when the lines are all drawn
what should we do today?
6. A Pleasant Shade Of Gray Part VII
7. The Eleventh Hour
I know it's getting late
but I feel I need to explain
all the laughter and the lies
can't stay the fear or hide the pain
somewhere along the way
we exchanged our dreams for selfish pride
there was a common goal
but somehow that vision has died
is it so hard to understand
the facts that YOU ignore
we've grown so tired of trying
wasting our time criticizing
and nothing's easy anymore
nothing's easy anymore
is it too late to understand
the writing that's on the walls
while we watch time slip through our hands
we're deaf to our own demands
when the eleventh hour calls
the eleventh hour calls
and nothing's easy anymore
when the eleventh hour calls
the eleventh hour calls
I know it's getting late
but I feel I need to explain
8. Point of View
looking out on a familiar scene
there's no agreement in what we see
your perception lacks clarify
and my perspective is blinding me
side by side
divided they stand
parallel lives running parallel with YOU
to the point where our horizons divide
my opinion is just a point of view
and your position is the other side
caught up in our convictions we forget
how our senses distort things we see
we can't accept our differences
but we can always disagree
side by side
divided they stand
parallel lives running parallel with YOU
to the point where our horizons divide
my opinion is just a point of view
and your position is the other side
where I stand is not so far from YOU
a different opinion is just another point of view
parallel lives running parallel with YOU
to the point where our horizons divide
my opinion is just a point of view
and your position is the other side
parallel lives running parallel with YOU
to the point where our horizons divide
my opinion is just a point of view
and your position is the other side
parallel lives running parallel with YOU
to the point where our horizons divide
my opinion is just a point of view
and your position is the other side
9. Monument
there's a blind desire there's a drive
there's a need to leave some lasting feat
something to hold, something to keep
a monument to complete
there's a written page there's a book
there's a search for something to say
something to share, something to speak
a monument to convey
is it fiction, is it confession
is it passion or just a profession
is it performance, is it expression
is it passion or just an obsession
there's a photograph there's a frame
there's a time, a moment to confine
something to save, something to see
a monument to enshrine
is it performance, is it expression
is it passion or just a profession
is it fiction, is it confession
is it passion or just an obsession
there's an empty room there's a blank page
there's a picture left incomplete
something is lost, something remains
a monument to defeat
is it fiction, is it confession
is it passion or just a profession
is it performance, is it expression
is it passion or just an obsession
