Blue And Gray - Rocky Votolato

I don’t want to fight about who’s pulling the weight

Wait for me upstairs I’ll be up to rub your neck

I want to be let down and disenchanted

To walk through a cloud of disappointment — help me out

I thought I escaped but the snakes still came

Wrapped around my body tangled up in my ribcage

We just need to find songs we want to hear

The sounds been making my blue eyes go gray all these years

I’m suffocating now

I overdosed somehow on my own medicine

I know all to well

The demons I can’t handle

Can hurt the ones I love

If I can hold them off, just long enough

I’ll get my mind straight

That ought to hold them off, just long enough

I’ll push this down inside

I know if we’d never met I’d be dead by now

I’ve been fucked up — a nervous wreak as long as I can remember

But you write the story so pick up the pen

Draw me pretty pictures of everything I hope to live

We grew up way too fast

Forget about the past

Nothing can change that now

You’ll learn to like the pain

And turn it into something

That everyone else can love

That ought to hold them off, just long enough

I’ll get my mind straight

That ought to hold them off, just long enough

I’ll push this down inside
