"GREY" lyrics

Why am I still here?

I am a fantasist, I am a realist
You are a pedestal, you are a bigamist
I am a prodigal walking a pilgrimage
Want to bury the years I have given this
I am a little girl doing arithmetic
I am a mother re-writing a lineage
You are a father who's dreaming of fixing it
Bet my life that you don't even think of it

I've waited for you so long that my hair's turned grey
It's been so many years
It's been so many years
Now hope is dying in my arms, it slips away into the atmosphere
Why am I still here?

I am a Christening, I am a bitter pill
You are the life in me, you are the final kill
I am a loyalist kneeling before the crown
Take a match to the flag and I burn it down
I've been drowning in tears, I was told not to cry
I've been choking on words that you said were a lie
I've been resuscitating what's already died
We're out of time

I've waited for you so long that my hair's turned grey
It's been so many years
It's been so many years
Now hope is dying in my arms, it slips away into the atmosphere
Why am I still here?

Why am I, why am I?
Why am I still here?
Why am I, why am I?

I've waited for you so long that my hair's turned grey
It's been so many years
It's been so many years
Now hope is dying in my arms, it slips away into the atmosphere
Why am I still here?

Why am I, why am I?
Why am I still here?
Why am I, why am I?
Why am I still-
Why am I, why am I?
Why am I still here?
Why am I, why am I?
Why am I still here?
