Grey skies, hanging heavy, skies weep, stories they tell,
In the gloom, garbage in love, hearts swell in a sad swell.
Life lessons, lessening, echoes of what we once knew,
Original impressions fade, replaced by a rain-streaked view.
Chorus:
Under this umbrella, hiding from the storm,
Vainly chasing flowers, in a world forlorn.
Rain keeps falling, washing away the lies,
No hero to blame, just the grey in our eyes.
Verses:
Best buds chug, club thuds, like thugs in the night,
Leaving behind love's remnants, fading out of sight.
Little lies, they die, unnoticed, unspoken,
Living off rain, hearts chance to be broken.
Some wonder why, as the rain keeps falling down,
Living in the clouds, where hopes drown.
Smoke on the rainy days, till new blooms arise,
Read, not red eyed, under stormy skies.
Bridge:
Wise disguise, under the rain, but beneath my stand,
Holding on, finding truth, in the pouring land.
Vain to escape, but still we try,
In the storm’s wake, under the grey sky.
Outro:
So we stand, in the rain, with umbrellas wide,
Our shadows dancing, where secrets hide.
Grey skies, no surprise, little lies die,
In the storm’s silence, we learn how to fly.
