lyrics

Shades of Gray
caution, caution, Caution, CAUTION
Verse 1
Take caution crossing the problem-causing cauldron
An amalgam fueling ambiguous confusing bond-fusions
All looping along movement alluding convoluting
Lines drawn to impossible conclusions
Made to test us with text book’s ambidextrous dexterity
Unbearably carelessly guaranteed heresy
Transparency apparition apparently closer than appeared to be
Scarcity of clarity clearly inherently wearing me
Out tearing me down impairing me, now
In pairs to be found insidious leaving emptiness
Many miss misdemeanor tips, meant to be hints, hence we is convinced
To make of previous attempts to do so, with no clues though
This tasks futile, Have half you told yourself to analyze paths you’ve chose?
As you choke, I’ll teach you all about meeting them happy medium
Equilibrium seesaws misleading some who take this with less than a grain of sea salt
Chorus
Thin Shades of Gray fade the display if made
To Pave the Way through the vague plague when draped
In theories clay-made they trade paint then shift shape
Tend to stray us from our state until we bend and break, in the grave
Because though it’s not implied, where light and dark collide
Neither illicit side’s explicit edicts coincide
So antiseptics ain’t expected leaving schizophrenic skeptics
Sketchy undirected clarity to inspect it carefully…(inspect it carefully)
Verse 2
Step on in to the wet cement come and risk
Consequence on the fence saluting absolutely
Obsolete statutes seen, desecration by concrete means
When accessed in absence of excessive dumb asses
Who don’t assess their obsession of abscesses
In essence, to full extents, they express confessions
Lessons from conformity formula formally a form of deformity
Forcing me and you to the direction of what the norm will be
Normally enormously ignoring me cordially
Hypnotist hypocrites hurl a hysterical pitch fork in me
So I can’t tread on an edge nor to be
Over egg shells and thin ice in my iron sled
I’m in dread so Imma shred snow
Go defy black and white instead as I choose and filter it
In order to reduce bewilderment
Verse 3
Cruddy clot of muddy waters
See the teeter-totter but it’s not prosperous
Who knows the purpose telling ostriches
All of this when honcho’s heads are held hostages?
I’m no psychologist, but maybe it’s to end the madness
Of tainted tinted glasses meant for malice right before it tips the balance
For you who don’t stick your head where they’re worms
Enclosed, with nowhere to turn, with you I sympathize
In your stand against the lies, they’re too dense for guys
Picturing them immense in size, but you can bend the sides
If – no when you’re wise then realize it’s not an issue
Of authenticity if the artifacts artificial
Now you’ve got a pickle, the twist up
Enigma you aim to get rid of
Pressing questions that ran amuck and you’re stuck, no answer but
Some questions are better left unanswered
Some questions are better left unanswered, FUCK
