Beat back these colors from my sight
I care to see them not
Yet vibrant hues of stubborn spring
remain
Spring's song my soul forgot
Beat back these colors from my sight
Discordant to my eye
Natures palette
It pleases me not
this cruel, hideous lie
All these colors I despise
I shall make them go away
And paint them instead with a fitting hue
grey
grey
grey

It seems like trouble is brewing, which always makes me frown. When shadows engulf our minds and throw away our crowns. When something happens, it fills everyone with rage.

Melancholy
I know there's more to living, 'cos I remember the good ole days. I see friends enjoying life, without my general malaise. My reserve of get up and go, long since got up and went.
