Gray - The Unity of Us

The Barracks
#41

My life is gray
I’m waiting for the end of the day
For something to come and wash away
All the emptiness that I hold inside
Everyone’s so distant and no one seems to care
Looking at their screens, going nowhere

It is this nowhere where you find me
and in this nowhere you learn to see…become aware

Tell me what to do now, it’s all so gray
Positive feelings, I can’t make them stay
I’m constantly in someone else’s way
Nothing’s left for me, I need to get away

Isolated, living in the world inside my head
The only place where everything seems to make sense

But nothing compares to this misery so immense
Why must this grayness be so intense?

My line (the alternative chorus if I understand correct):

Then shake me from myself now, I wanna be awake!
You made your own way out this, mine is yet to make.
Pull me from this grayness, teach me to be brave,
Drag me out before I gray me to the grave.

@rickvanmeijel hope I did everything right and it’s your turn.

Maybe we should make a UOU thread with all the final songs in the OP (each song can be in a drop-down to prevent a mega post).
