i found some of these lyrics in a notebook and i do not remember writing them, but im pretty sure ive never done anything with them before. cleaned them up and added some stuff and now its a song.
gray and ancient oil paints on
gray and rotting canvases of
gray and rainy saturdays on
perfect summer holidays
memories of names and places
images of loved ones faces
covered in a stolen shade of gray
oh disarray, do you deceive me
or is everyone i love about to leave me
please look away, do not perceive me
cause im pretty sure you would not believe me
im one step in, and one step out
im falling more behind
and im afraid, so please excuse me
cause i dont what it means to be this way
empty iridescent bulbs like
static running down my back
and down my neck and arms and legs
a little look is all i ask
give and give until im giving up
give and give until im giving up
a casualty of causality
bad metaphors for anxiety
another stolen melody
emotions scrawled out recklessly
with disregard for etiquette
a fleeting thought, no thats not it
smothered, beaten, drowned and washed away
oh disarray, do you deceive me
or is everyone i love about to leave me
please look away, do not perceive me
cause im pretty sure you would not believe me
im one step in, and one step out
im falling more behind
and im afraid, so please excuse me
cause i dont what it means to be this way
and im afraid, so please excuse me
cause i dont what it means to be this way

I like your repetition of grey in the opening verse - it establishes the mood for the song well. I like the change in the chorus which is nicely constructed. A good performance of the song - nice job
