Beautiful shade of grey

Devil in drag
Supernova girl
Give and take
Sunset ruin
Hit me like a brick
Wildflower
Conscience calling
What I missed
Am I right
Ramble on
Devil in drag
Devil in drag
[Verse 1]
Don't need to taint your thoughts
Deep down you're tied in knots
Resentment simmers in you

Keep pushing what's good aside
One hell of a bumpy ride
No one you'll answer to

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Yeah, you kill me
Believe all they're telling you
Sadly, gladly
No question what's expected of you
[Chorus]
You run away from all the lies in life
You're all alone and on your own
You run away from all your lies in life
Devil in drag, you're on your own

[Verse 2]
Give you some sound advice
My words feel like ice
You're but a shell of the man I once knew

Take a good look at yourself
Forgotten book on a shelf
Is there a flame still burning in you?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yeah, you kill me
No question it's affecting you
Sadly, gladly
A blind man's point of view

[Chorus]
You run away from all the lies in life
You're all alone and on your own
You run away from all your lies in life
Devil in drag, you're on your own
[Bridge]
Sacrificed all you held dear
For what, a pack of lies
Trade it back but they don't hear
Be careful what you wish for in life

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
You run away from all the lies in life
You're all alone, you're on your own
You run away and still you can't decide
Devil in drag, you're on your own

[Outro]
You're led astray from all your lies in life
You feel betrayed under the knife
You run away from all your lies in life
Devil in drag, you're on your own

Supernova girl
Girl, ever since you came into my life I'm flying high
Flying higher than I ever did before
Supernova girl, you're what I'm looking for

And girl, one can't help but wonder why
You're even here with me
Supernova girl, you set the bar so high
Far too high to reach even if I were to fly

Never quite enough
I tend to overthink too much
But a smile and it fades away
Let's just run away
Leave the world behind
Comе what may
Nothing can get in our way
Like two shining stars
Shooting cross the Milky Way

Girl, till thе last breath that I take
I'll always be here for you
Supernova girl, let's set the bar so high
High up in the sky, only you and I

Never quite enough
I tend to overthink too much
If I'm out of line
God willing, know that we'll be fine

Let's just run away
Leave the world behind
Come what may
Nothing can get in our way
Like two shining stars
Shooting cross the Milky Way

Let's just run away
Leave the world behind
Come what may
Nothing can get in our way
Like two shining stars
Shooting cross the Milky Way
Let's just run away
Leave the world behind
Come what may
Nothing can get in our way
Like two shining stars
Cross the Milky Way

Cross the Milky Way

Give and take
[Verse 1]
The weight of the world stings
The lies, that injustice brings
Moral, cultural change
While those on high remain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Stripped of our rights
We strive in vain
Who then can we turn to
When they don't feel the same?
[Chorus 1]
You give then you take
Pushed aside, thrown away
To whom shall we pray
If those we trust we blame

[Verse 2]
Keep selling the news everyday
Neutrality stands in the way
No longer common ground
Agendas abound

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No voice to sing
We bend then brеak
Who profits from kings
And all the heads of state

[Chorus 2]
You givе then you take
Pushed aside, thrown away
Don't see things our way
What's yours to give and take

[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Contracts in breach
Betrayed our trust
Leave us to waste
Ashes to dust

[Chorus 3]
You give then you take
Pushed aside, thrown away
Don't see things our way
Won't lend an ear, no time today

[Outro]
We've lost our way
Shine the light, throughout the night
Deciding our fate
What's yours to give and take

Sunset ruin
The sadness that we all conceal
Life's sunset in our eyes
It's finality obscurity
Keep pushing it aside

Tell me now
Tell me now
Tell me why we wait
Never been a believer
Who leaves it all to fate
As the curtain falls
I'm fighting for today
I'll face what comes my way
Celebrate each day
And bear this burden
In some way

I'm fighting for each day
Play the hands I'm dealt today
No more prayers, I will not pray
No one's listening anyway

The sun is sеtting all too soon
Not much time to be had
The subtlеties the certainties
No way of getting back

Tell me now
Tell me now
Tell me why we wait

Never been a believer
Who leaves it all to fate
As the curtain falls

I'm fighting for today
I'll face what comes my way
Celebrate each day
And bear this burden
In some way
I'm fighting for each day
Play the hands I'm dealt today
No more prayers, I will not pray
No one's listening anyway

Right from the beginning
Up against all odds
What more can I do
This is my last goodbye
Sunset ruin
Setting upon you
All too soon

Tell me now
Tell me now
Tell me why we wait
Never been a believer
Who leaves it all to fate
As the curtain falls

I'm fighting for today
I'll face what comes my way
Celebrate each day
And bear this burden
In some way
I'm fighting for each day
Play the hands I'm dealt today
No more prayers, I will not pray
No one's listening anyway

Hit me like a brick
Doing fine on my own
Plenty of room to roam
Discovering the unknown
Treading in the danger zone

Trying hard to stay on track
Know I'm never coming back
Gonna figure this thing out
Have no shadow of a doubt

Sweet lady of my dreams
Don't be shy
I don't mind your honey-bee sting
Do or die
Die
It hit
It hit me like a brick
I never saw it coming
It right knocked me on my ass

It hit
It hit me like a brick
I never saw it coming
Have no answers
Should you ask

Felt it for so long
All this time been wrong

No place where I belong
A love lost long gone

Never been this far out
Isolated filled with doubt
Couldn't hear mе if I shout
Still I wait and hang about

It hit
It hit me like a brick
I nevеr saw it coming
It right knocked me on my ass
It hit
It hit me like a brick
I never saw it coming
Out of nowhere
So damn fast

It hit
It hit me like a brick
I never saw it coming
It right knocked me on my back

It hit
It hit me like a brick
I'm at a lost for words
Tell me
How should one react

Wildflower
She's got a letter in her pocket but she don't know why
And father's picture in her locket always makes her cry

Yet she grows
Like a wildflower
And she glows
Like a moonlit beam

Her words they resonate
But not for pity's sake
They turn her world upside down
Yet she remains to stand so tall
And smiles through it all
Though the truth reads hard
It hardens not her heart
She's not the type to sink or drown
And with no one to break her fall
She smiles through it all

She searches deep inside for a reason why
They built their life on trust and all that's left is the lies

Yet she grows
Like a wildflower
And she ghosts
Through old memories

Her words they resonate
But not for pity's sake
They turn her world upside down
Yet she remains to stand so tall
And smiles through it all

Though the truth reads hard
It hardens not her heart
She's not the type to sink or drown
And with no one to break her fall
She smiles through it all
Word by word
Every single one absurd
Just like a bolt right outta the blue
It crushed the only life she knew

Did they ever stop to think
That this could put her on the brink
Of falling deeper down the hole
And kill her spirit and her soul
They left her mystified
They left her terrified
And alone
				
top

Conscience calling
Light will draw the curtain
Try but still uncertain
Crawl one day I'll stand tall
Trapped within my own skin
Beg but where do I begin

Fuse the spark of ones light
Muse a sonic delight
Tears my conscience calling
Fail to convey
Depth of one's dismay

What I missed
Felt something more or so I thought
As far as I can tell
Best on my own with what I've got
A dried up wishing well

With all that I said
It's clear you don't know me
I feel misread

Each day, ring around the Rosie
God I pray not my time to fall today
Hold tight get a grip just like everyone
Like everyone
Something has changed
Had an epiphany
I'm not taking the blame
Might be too late
If I hesitate

Not sure what I missed
How it came to this
But there's something 'bout you
And it's all I wanna do
Nothing left to hide
Yeah love will survivе
It will survive

Shaking loose brushing off the dust today
Not waiting round
Hoping things might go my way
Hеld tight to beliefs not for everyone
Unraveled, undone

Something has changed
Had an epiphany
I have myself to blame
Might be too late
If I hesitate
Not sure what I missed
How it came to this
But there's something 'bout you
And it's all I wanna do
Nothing left to hide
Yeah love will survive
It will survive

Not sure what I missed
How it came to this
But there's something bout you
And it's all I wanna do
Be right there at your side
For one hell of a ride
Time is not on our side
Live it up while you're alive

Take you for a drive
Always a cool vibe
Crankin our favorite song
Nothing left to hide
Yeah love will survive
It will survive

Am I right
You barely notice what I feel
These tiny seeds take root, I fear
Unaware how strange it seems
Emotions stranded in between

I pull you in but shut you out
Flirtatious, smokescreen all about
Neither you or I can see
Uncontrolled, but steering me

Do you mind?
Wouldn't you agree?
It is no fault of mine
Always there
The many telltale signs
Am I right, am I wrong?
Can't undo what's been undone
Gone too far, I'm feeling numb
Befriending many, liking none

So charming, wouldn't you agree
What I'm giving ain't for free?
Look at the shape that you're now in
Too high a price for anything

Love is blind
Wouldn't you agree it is no fault of mine?
Like a drug
Inflicting misery

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
The same rights for everyone
We may never work this out
Whilе politicians scream and shout

Wanna break you down in size
Institutions built on liеs
Divisive no compromise

Don't hear your beck and call
Will not break your fall
Much of nothing at all
Collusion's yours to choose
Such rules, we refuse
Immoral abuse
Do you mind
Shouldn't you agree
Look all around it's time
Always there
The many telltale signs

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
True to the end, nothing is won
Fight or flight, should I protest
You disagree, I should care less
So shout it out, but walk the line
Knowing full well what you will find
Stone deaf and might as well be blind
I'll take a stand, say I know best
You disagree, you be my guest
Sets our minds into a spin
Look at the state that we're now in
The tenant who resides in me
Will paint my strokes eventually

Ramble on
[Verse 1]
The leaves are falling all around, time I was on my way
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know I've got one thing I got to do

[Chorus]
Ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song, I'm going 'round the world, I gotta find my girl
On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on, gotta find the queen of all my dreams
[Verse 2]
Got no time to for spreading roots
The time has come to be gone
And though "Our health" we drank a thousand times
It's timе to ramble on

[Chorus]
Ramble on, and now the timе, the time is now
To sing my song, I'm going 'round the world, I gotta find my girl
On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
I gotta ramble on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams

[Bridge]
I tell you no lie

[Verse 3]
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air
'Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair
But Gollum and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her
Her, her, yeah
Ah, there's nothing I can do now
I guess I'll keep on

[Outro]
Ramblin', I'm gonna shake (Sing my song)
I gotta find my baby
I'm gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gonna work my way, going 'round the world
Baby, baby (Ramble on)
Do do do do do do do do, my baby
I can't stop this feeling in my heart
Every time I think about my baby I think, "We gots to part"
Gotta keep on searching for my baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I gotta keep on searching for my baby
My, my, my, my, my, my, baby
I can't find my bluebird!
I listened to what my bluebird said, but I, I can't find my bluebird!
I keep rambling, baby
