Grey Rain

#### **Verse 1**

```

The clock still ticks on the wall,

But time died when you walked away.

This empty room’s a funeral hall,

Where echoes of your name still play.

I trace the cracks in every tile,

Count the dust motes in the air—

A monument to denial,

Proof that silence *can* impair.

```

#### **Pre-Chorus**

```

The kettle screams, I let it boil dry,

Like the tears I can’t recall...

```

#### **Chorus**

```

**Grey rain** against the windowpane,

Mimics the storm locked in my veins.

You took the colors when you left—

Left me **grey rain**, and this hollow breath.

I’m just a ghost in a frame you broke,

Choking on unspoken words I spoke...

Oh, this **grey rain**—it’s all that remains.

```

#### **Verse 2**

```

Your sweater hangs behind the door,

A fossil of a warmer day.

I wear it ‘til it feels like yours,

But scent fades, like vows, away.

I rehearse fights we never had,

Apologies I’ll never hear...

This ache is all I’ve ever had,

That, and the cold, creeping fear.

```

#### **Pre-Chorus**

```

The mail piles up, unopened lies,

Bills, ads—*nothing from you*.

```

#### **Chorus**

```

**Grey rain** against the windowpane,

Mimics the storm locked in my veins.

You took the colors when you left—

Left me **grey rain**, and this hollow breath.

I’m just a ghost in a frame you broke,

Choking on unspoken words I spoke...

Oh, this **grey rain**—it’s all that remains.

```

#### **Bridge**

```

The world moves on outside my glass—

Cars splash, kids laugh in the street.

But I’m stranded in this past,

Where agony and numbness meet.

I scream, but sound won’t leave my throat,

Just static... and the rain’s grey note.

```

#### **Outro** (Fading, sparse piano)

```

Grey rain...

Grey rain...

All that remains...

Is grey rain...

```
