Closer To Grey

Closer To Grey - Ten Foot Pole

Clawing his way out of the doldrums

Getting sick and tired of coke and rums

We'll just have to wait and see

Because he's jumped on the wagon

Before only to crawl and beg for more

His pride is just another casualty

His pride is just another casualty

Can you see beyond today's euphoric state

Do you remember how you'll feel tomorrow

All the people that you hate all the times

You've had to wait every piece of food you ever ate

Reminds you of your fate

He's clawing his way out of a paper bag

Reaching for the life that he never had

And he's just one step away

He's going backwards on a two track

He's going one step forward and two steps back

Getting closer to gray

In the end there's only grieving

All his goals inside pulled thin air

Can you blame him if he's desperate

There's nothing left for him to get

And he doesn't care that the people stare

And they do fucking stare

He's clawing his way out of a paper bag

Reaching for the life that he never had

And he's just one step away

He's going backwards on a two track

He's going one step forward and two steps back

Getting closer to gray

Closer to gray

Closer to gray

Closer to gray

Closer to gray
