"Hard To Imagine" lyrics

Paint a picture forty shades of gray
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames
I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long

It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine

Tear into yourself, count days upon your arms
All the beatings ticking like a bomb
After having seen all that they saw

It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine

Things were different then. All is different now
I tried to explain. Somehow
Things were different then. All is different now
I tried to explain. Somehow

Things were different then. All is different now
I tried to explain. I hope this works. Somehow
Things were different then. All is different now
I tried to explain. Oh, somehow
